A new energy
For some, big city life can wear you down. If so, Latrobe City might be just the place to provide the boost in energy you need.
The only regional city in eastern Victoria, Latrobe City consists of many small townships and the main towns of Moe, Morwell and Traralgon. The area is famous for having one of the largest brown coal reserves in the world, and being the epicentre of Victoria’s electricity industry. But it’s also recognised for its large forestry industry, servicing Australia’s biggest pulp and paper mill. Food processing, engineering, education, retail and aviation also figure prominently.
Diverse lifestyle options include urban living, rural townships, farming, bush settings, and well-supported commercial and business communities, with great schools and hospitals in a connected, diverse community.
It’s also worth getting acquainted with the Victorian Government’s Latrobe GovHub initiative, which is in the process of creating a multi-million dollar business precinct in Morwell to fully enhance its economic prospects.
So don’t let the big city get to you. A whole new city of energy and possibility is waiting to be discovered in Latrobe City.
