Announced today, Castlerock Property will deliver the Latrobe Valley GovHub at 65 Church Street in Morwell.
The GovHub will include 150 workers from the Victorian public service including Earth Resources Regulation staff, who will establish a new head office in the Latrobe Valley, Parks Victoria staff working in environment, research and other service functions, and staff from the EPA.
With mine regulation and rehabilitation a key focus for the region, the regulator’s new head office will ensure the best local minds are working for the community.
Up to half of the 150 Victorian Government roles will be newly advertised positions, so local job-seekers can apply and the remaining positions will be consolidated from Melbourne.
Castlerock is a family business, with owners who went to school and grew up in the Latrobe Valley. They still have strong ties and work closely with established businesses within the region.
The project is expected to cost $25 million and will create up to 100 construction jobs, with work expected to commence later this year and completion in 2020.
The new Morwell based GovHub is part of a $266 million Latrobe Valley transition package to support economic growth, create jobs and drive the businesses and industries of the future.
