GROW Gippsland - Latrobe Valley Train Line

Gippsland Line Upgrade

Supporting local jobs by buying local

Rail Projects Victoria are working with the GROW Gippsland to maximise the impact of the $600 million Gippsland Line Upgrade project on local businesses, and supporting the use of local skills and inclusive employment.

The first of the contracts as part of the Upgrade – for the cadastral surveying for the Avon River Bridge project, has been awarded to OnePlan Land Development Group based in Bairnsdale. Construction of the bridge is expected to commence in late 2019.

GROW Gisspland - Regional Hospital Emergency Department

Latrobe Regional Hospital

Using local purchasing to create jobs for people with a disability

As participants in the GROW program and a major purchaser in the Gippsland region, Latrobe Regional Hospital reviewed their purchase of goods and services to identify areas where they can have greater influence on benefiting local people, particularly those who experience barriers to employment.

As a result the Hospital has now contracted Latrobe Valley Enterprises, a Morwell-based not-for-profit providing employment opportunities for people with a disability, to provide their land care maintenance.
