TASTY PROJECT

By MICHELLE SLATER

THE Latrobe Valley is receiving a $10 million state government windfall to turn an 89 hectare parcel of land on Princes Drive into a major food manufacturing precinct. The long-awaited Morwell Food M a n u f a c tu r i n g P r e c i n c t w i l l accommodate up to 44 prime industrial lots to lure food and fibre processors to

invest on the site next to Bega Cheese. The Victorian government has dropped the announcement pre-State Budget, with the funding expected to fast-track the project being driven by Latrobe City Council. The funding will be used to prepare the site for factories to move in and include connecting power, water and sewage, and prepare better access for heavy

vehicles and manufacturing equipment. The project will create local construction jobs, with the potential to support 1700 ongoing manufacturing jobs once up and running. Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said she was looking forward to the precinct taking shape and businesses moving in. “Morwell is moving ahead.Investments

like this build momentum and create a future of new and emerging industries with a spread of jobs and opportunities,” Ms Shing said. The state government hopes the investment will provide transition opportunities for the region leading into the closure of the Yallourn Power Station in the next seven years. Continued on Page 2
