The Victorian government's Economic Growth Statement includes $10 million investment in infrastructure, initiatives to support regional businesses, attract investment, boost exports, and reduce regulations for growth in key sectors.
Victoria is open for business - with the Victorian government this week outlining its plans for regional Victoria as part of the Economic Growth Statement. As part of the plan, we will invest $10 million to bring forward trunk infrastructure - for things like water supply, sewerage, roads, and electricity - to open up more industrial land across regional Victoria.

- Developing a new website to showcase regional investment opportunities
- Investing $20 million in growing Victoria's priority sectors - including advanced manufacturing, circular economy, health technology, and agribusiness - to drive the state's economic future

- Developing agricultural applications of RNA technology, with new funding for research and manufacturing
- Cutting regulation to save businesses time and money, with a focus on smarter, simpler processes that reduce red tape and unnecessary permits
