Invest welcomed

Gannawarra Shire Council has welcomed the launch of the INVEST Loddon Mallee initiative – an online resource promoting this innovative region’s economic strengths and opportunities.

Created by the 10 local government areas that make up the Loddon Mallee region – including Gannawarra Shire Council – INVEST Loddon Mallee is an investment attraction resource that targets both public and private investors.

The main resource is the INVEST Loddon Mallee website – www.investloddonmallee.com.au – which provides a comprehensive overview of the region’s industries, locations and investment opportunities. The site also showcases some of the innovative businesses already thriving in the region and highlights projects seeking investment.

“The economic profile of the Gannawarra has changed during the past decade, led by innovative agricultural operations, new energy projects and growth in manufacturing,” Council Chief Executive Officer, Tom O’Reilly said.

“Investment opportunities will expand considerably in the next decade thanks to projects such as VHM’s mineral sands project at Goschen, the growing popularity of nature based tourism in the Gannawarra and the construction of KerangLink.

“INVEST Loddon Mallee is a one-stop shop that delivers economic information about each local government area, that demonstrates businesses working the different industries as well as offer reports that give valuable economic strength to any proposal

The INVEST Loddon Mallee website also provides access to relevant strategic reports and regional prospectus documents highlighting strategic investments that are of interest to public and private investors.

“Council encourages all businesses located in the Gannawarra, as well as those looking to invest in the area, to visit the INVEST Loddon Mallee website,” Mr O’Reilly said.

“People who want to invest in the Gannawarra are encouraged to contact our Economic Development team, who can assist with proposals and resources needed to help your project proceed.”
