The Victorian Government’s $15 million Trunk Infrastructure Fund is now open for applications.
The program focuses on strategic and enabling infrastructure considered important for industries such as manufacturing, defence, health technologies, the circular economy, digital technology and agribusiness.
Outlined in the Economic Growth Statement, the fund will support co‑funded projects aimed at establishing or expanding industrial sites across regional Victoria. Funding will go toward essential services including water and power supply, sewerage, road networks and technologies such as NBN connections.
The Fund aims to:
Invest in infrastructure that unlocks land so new investments can proceed without infrastructure limitations
Attract new private sector investment
Facilitate the expansion of existing businesses
Increase the supply of serviced land available for business and industry investment in regional Victoria.
Successful projects will increase production and productivity by enhancing local supply chains – supporting economic growth and prosperity for regional Victoria.
