Sustainable Development
Background:
- Lack of available industrial land has led to economic and job losses.
- Port-related activities remain uncertain. This is not in the interests of environment groups or project proponents.
- Our natural environmental assets are not being utilised for our benefit, and this is costing the region its competitive edge.
GOAL:
To encourage and create new and sustainable jobs and bring future-focussed industries to our region.
KEY ACTIONS:
-
Advocate for surplus port-related land to be made available for broader industrial and commercial uses to support local industry,
encourage investment and create local jobs.
-
Support the establishment of the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal at the Port of Hastings, encouraging further public and private
investment in related industries which support local jobs and supply chains.
- Advocate for investment and support for the agriculture and horticulture industries across the Mornington Peninsula that create jobs, provide food security, and enhance the local economy.
- Identify and support the creation of more high capacity and advanced industrial jobs.
