Manufacturing is a cornerstone of Australia’s, Victoria’s and Geelong’s economy, driving innovation, creating high value jobs, and underpinning supply chain resilience essential for national prosperity and global competitiveness.
To help build a stronger and more prosperous manufacturing sector, GMC advocates across five key pillars – RED TAPE, ENERGY, INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE, SKILLS and ADVANCED MANUFACTURING – that address the challenges and opportunities facing manufacturers in Australia.
We need Government to embrace all energy options available to ensure security of cheap and reliable energy supply.
Why
Manufacturing competitiveness depends on cheap, reliable energy. Without cheap and reliable energy, there can be no manufacturing at scale and no international competitiveness – and consequently no viable Australian manufacturing.
