Vehicle Charging Infrastructure providers. The main objectives of the policy include:

  • Support the coordinated roll-out of EV charging infrastructure across Latrobe City
  • Provide a framework and approval process for EV charger requests.
  • Inform local residents, businesses and investors about Council’s role and how to seek further guidance
  • Facilitate consistent and timely responses to community and stakeholder enquiries regarding installation of EV chargers on council land.
