Defence Capability
“Our Economic Development Team is available to facilitate your strategic reconnaissance, by making available to
you their comprehensive working knowledge of the development precincts
and the existing expertise already available in advanced engineering and precision manufacturing.”
Graeme Middlemiss,
Mayor, Latrobe City Council
The Latrobe Valley in Gippsland, Victoria is home to superior engineering capability that is recognised globally. Built on coal powered electricity generation; open cut mining operations; oil and gas exploration and extraction; and pulp/paper manufacturing, the Latrobe Valley is the centre of Australia’s advanced engineering and manufacturing capability.
This recognised capability combined with
a highly skilled workforce aligns with the requirements of the defence sector and is available to work with defence supply chains to meet the needs of Defence.
Technical competency and capacity, coupled with a community accustomed to heavy industry and a city council consciously focused on supporting the conversion of development interest into active outcomes, makes Latrobe a location most worthy of consideration.
