An "open invitation" has been issued to the Andrews government from the Turnbull government to talk about infrastructure funding, despite several meetings between ministers over partnerships in recent weeks.

Senior minister Greg Hunt has issued a federal wish list of projects in Melbourne to be funded, including the dumped East West Link.

Mr Hunt, who is the lead minister in the new Cities portfolio, has also identified widening the Monash Freeway and building the Melbourne Metro rail as priorities.

The state government first learnt of the vision in news reports on Monday and Mr Hunt told ABC radio that he had spoken to Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy about the plan.
