We partner with industry, local governments, the Australian Government, and regional communities to help identify and create investment opportunities across our regions.
Our teams are based in the communities they serve and can offer local insights and draw upon existing relationships with regional stakeholders to help guide investments - from start to finish.
We work with our partners to ensure that investments:
- align with the strengths and needs of each region
- meet the needs of our workforce and support skill development
- enhance our supply chains and open doors to national and global markets.
We’re committed to supporting investments that create the best opportunities and benefits in our regions – for everyone.
We’re delivering on this commitment through a range of initiatives, including:
- backing priority sectors through the Government's Victorian Investment Fund
- unlocking industrial land through funding for trunk infrastructure
- providing Regional Launching Pads for businesses looking to establish or expand regional operations.
We’re helping ensure economic growth and prosperity are shared across all parts of Victoria, by helping to create and identify investment opportunities that leverage the strengths of our regions.

Case study - Goulburn Valley Creamery
We helped facilitate a $10 million fit-out of Goulburn Valley Creamery’s processing facility in the historic Kyabram Jam Factory, creating 17 new jobs and doubling milk production to 100 million litres per year.
As part of the redevelopment, we invested funds to install water filtration systems, enabling the company to treat water on site for the first time.
Water treatment is crucial for milk production, and the funding for this equipment underpinned the broader facility upgrade and expansion undertaken by the company.
