A RAIL link to Melbourne airport will become a reality under a coalition government.
Premier Denis Napthine announced it was time the rail link was built, during his address to the Victorian Liberal Party's state council meeting on Sunday.
Dr Napthine said the rail link will deliver efficient, high-capacity regular services to Melbourne airport.
The project will be outlined in the upcoming May state budget, he said.
"I'm pleased to announce that my government will build the much needed Melbourne airport rail link," he told the conference.
"This project has been on the books for over 40 years," he said.
"It is time this rail link was built."
Melbourne airport attracts 30 million passengers a year and this was expected to double in 20 years, he said.
The 25-minute train ride will go from Southern Cross station direct to the airport offering an affordable services every 10 minutes during peak times, the state government says.
The electric train service will use the existing Albion and Jacana rail corridor.
"This is an enormous step forward for Melbourne airport, for Melbourne and Victoria," Dr Napthine later told reporters.
"Victorians and Melburnians have been waiting 40 years for this significant announcement.
"It's absolutely essential that Melbourne and Victoria has a rail link to the airport."
The upcoming budget would reveal further details about the project, including costings and timeline, the premier said.
Dr Napthine says it is expected the project will be publicly run but private involvement would be sought.
