Reading through the material, it should have been an easy choice to go North first, when it became clear there wasn't enough money to do both directions. Yet, the fact they chose the SE first, and not even making 16th-Beddington as Stage 2 (even after 2.5 years) suggests that the City planners have little interest in the NC, unless Council forces them to.

Ya, I'm pretty sure the pressure for the south is all on council, Shane Keating in particular. It doesn't help that the north has to depend on the City's most worthless councilor for support, Sean Chu. Maybe if he had half a clue about anything other than re-tweeting right wing politicians he may have been able to influence this decision. Alas, he's a moron.
