This fund was established to support and accelerate private sector investment in the region through infrastructure and services such as:
- strategic headwork services including potable water and sewer services
- infrastructure upgrades for roads, power, bridges and communications throughout the Shipwreck Coast - Great Ocean Road region
- digital connectivity infrastructure within the region, including new and upgraded mobile coverage
- site and project constraints.
