Living in Gippsland
is easy. Only 90 minutes
from Melbourne.

Gippsland is one of eight key areas designated by the Victorian Government for significant regional growth.

Gippsland has strong attractors for business investment – a skilled workforce, established infrastructure, excellent road and rail links, quality education and research institutes. It also offers a diverse cultural lifestyle among some of Australia’s most magnificent natural attractions.

The main urban centre is the Regional City of Latrobe, which comprises three large townships; Moe, Morwell and Traralgon. Latrobe City is less than 100km from the growing outer-east metropolitan growth centre that is identified as ‘Node of Dandenong’ in Plan Melbourne.

Transport

Gippsland has an established network of road, rail and air connections to and from Melbourne and around Victoria.

The value of this network has been enhanced by major investment in road and rail infrastructure, both in the region and in along the corridor to market in greater Melbourne.

For example, a high-speed rail service between Melbourne and Latrobe City operates at frequent intervals seven days a week.
