Growing and sustaining regional industries and jobs
Supporting investments in enabling economic infrastructure is critical to providing a competitive environment in which existing and emerging industries in regional Victoria can operate more successfully. Enabling infrastructure assists regional Victorian industries in becoming more sustainable and resilient to changing economic and environmental conditions, it improves access to markets, and attracts new investment into regional communities, while creating jobs or securing the operations of existing regional businesses.
Through the Growing and Sustaining Regional Industries and Jobs sub-program, infrastructure grants may be available for:
- access to utility services (water, energy, waste, alternative utilities)
- improvements in resource use efficiency to address current or pending operational constraint and to build industry resilience
- projects that facilitate industry innovation
- water recycling or use of other non-potable supplies in fit-for-purpose applications
- development of serviced industrial land
- improved transport connections to support economic activity and/or
- projects that better integrate efficient supply chains.
