Latrobe City Council is prepared for the expected Federal Election, after endorsing a Federal Election Strategy at its meeting yesterday.

The strategy focuses on ten key priorities for the Latrobe City community and aims to secure government investment to drive job creation and economic diversification. 

Council will continue to deliver a strong message of how government can partner with Latrobe City and provide focus for Federal Government efforts in the lead up to the expected election.

The strategy has been supplemented by a recent delegation to Canberra where productive discussions were held with several federal members and ministers.

Latrobe City Council Mayor, Councillor Dale Harriman outlined the importance of a coordinated approach to advocacy and a local need for Federal Government support.

“As we expect the Federal Election will be called soon, I am proud of our efforts at Latrobe City Council to ensure that we are front-of-mind, ,” said the Mayor.

“Our Federal Election Strategy clearly identifies Council’s key priorities, including our New Energy Future for hydrogen development in Latrobe City and infrastructure investments to support industrial and residential growth.

“We are hopeful the Federal Government will consider these priorities when considering their upcoming commitments.”
