Victoria is ready, willing and able to deliver three major infrastructure projects - all it needs is more federal funding, the state's treasurer says.
Tim Pallas wants the federal government to "fix up and fess up" to a fiscal gap in infrastructure funding the state receives in relation to others around the country.
Work on projects including the Melbourne Metro, Western Distributor and Murray Darling Basin Rail have already started with the expectation of federal assistance but numerous requests for the funding have been met with silence, Mr Pallas said.
"We are ready, willing and able to deliver these projects," Mr Pallas told reporters on Monday.
If the federal budget, to be handed down on May 3, doesn't provide for those projects, Victoria would be forced to "go it alone" with delays.
Mr Pallas says that shouldn't be allowed to happen because Victoria has been constantly short-changed by the federal government compared to other states.
"We've had an analysis that shows Victoria, over the next five years, will lose about $6.3 billion in terms of their share of infrastructure funding," he said.
"Victorians have been getting ripped off for no good reason." He said while the prime minister loved taking selfies on Victorian public transport, it was time for him to match the rhetoric with some money to support the projects.
Opposition spokesman Michael O'Brien said it was "pathetic" for Mr Pallas to be asking for federal funding for projects the state government hadn't provided money for themselves.
He said they government had used "immature demands" played out through the media instead of doing the homework and showing the projects stacked up.
"The Andrews government is more interested in playing politics over infrastructure projects than getting results," Mr O'Brien told AAP on Monday.
