The other thing that sometimes gets included (particularly in Budget
figures) in the costings is running costs over the forward estimates (eg 4
years).


But here's another source that might be useful: an Auditor-General's report
from 2011:
https://www.audit.vic.gov.au/report/auditor-generals-report-annual-financial-report-state-victoria-2010-11

Figure A (page x):

*$272 million contract for design and construction of 50 trams. $537.6
million to be spent on project costs and infrastructure. *

This appears to include design costs, but that would make it $5.44m per
tram.
