Latrobe Valley Regional REHABILITATION STRATEGY Regional Geotechnical Study Latrobe Valley Regional REHABILITATION STRATEGY Regional Geotechnical Study REHABILITATING THE LATROBE VALLEY’S COAL MINES The Latrobe Valley’s three brown coal mines – Hazelwood, Yallourn and Loy Yang – have fuelled most of Victoria’s electricity generation since 1924. Hazelwood closed in 2017 and Yallourn and Loy Yang are planned to close by 2032 and 2048 respectively. Each of the Latrobe Valley brown coal mine operators are required to develop a plan to rehabilitate the mine sites in order to achieve a safe, stable and sustainable landscape once mining activity ceases.

    Submission to Plan Melbourne Latrobe City Council Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Submission to Plan Melbourne – Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Submission to Plan Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Strategy December 2013 Introduction Latrobe City Council recognises and appreciates the integration of previous comments contained in its March 2013 submission to Melbourne – Let’s Talk about the Future. We again appreciate the opportunity to provide comment to Plan Melbourne – Metropolitan Planning Strategy (the Strategy). Latrobe Regional City is eastern Victoria’s employment hub and Gippsland’s regional capital. The City is currently going through a period of population growth with projections suggesting that the growth will continue in the longer term. In response to these population projections, the Minister for Planning has recently rezoned approximately 800 ha of residential land within the four main towns of Latrobe Regional City. The directions and initiatives set out in the Strategy will be instrumental in ensuring that Latrobe Regional City is acknowledged as being well placed to capture and provide liveable communities for the current and forecasted growth in both the economy and population in the Metropolitan area and Latrobe Regional City. In this context, Council strongly supports the vision of the Strategy , in particular the State of Cities model which will result in improved social, employment and infrastructure linkages between regional and metropolitan Victoria. We are pleased that the objectives of the Strategy align with those of our Council Plan 2013 – 17, including the provision of the best possible facilities, services, advocacy and leadership for Latrobe Regional City, one of Victoria’s four major regional cities.

  • The Geographical Political Economy of Regional Transformation in the Latrobe Valley
    382 Australasian Journal of Regional Studies, Vol. 23, No. 3, 2017 THE GEOGRAPHICAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF REGIONAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE LATROBE VALLEY Sally A Weller Reader, Institute for Religion Politics and Society, Australian Catholic University, Melbourne, 3000, Australia. Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT: This paper explains the Latrobe Valley’s challenges from a geographical political economy perspective sensitive to the path dependent nature of regional change processes, to the influence of extra-local forces, to the socially constructed nature of regions, and to the inherently political nature of transformative change. The paper argues that the recent application of ‘new regional’ policies in the Valley—policies which aim to revitalize regions by promoting leadership, vision and local coalitions of elite stakeholders—have, in reality, replaced elected representatives with selected stakeholders and reframed the issue by stretching the spatial and temporal scales of action in a way that diminishes the apparent severity of the area’s problems. This paper contends that because these interventions sidestep local political contestation, they deepen the disempowerment and disenfranchisement of the people of the industrial Latrobe Valley. Moreover, the process has enabled business elites in Gippsland to capture and redirect redistributive funding to sectors and locations that were never affected by the closure of coal fired power stations. KEY WORDS: economic geography, regional development, transition, Latrobe Valley. 1. INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? The industrial hub of the Latrobe Valley was created by the Victorian Government to generate the electricity that fuelled Victoria’s development throughout the twentieth century. The Valley has been a policy problem for more than twenty years, since the mid-1990s, when the poorly managed process of privatising the electricity industry left a significant proportion of the local population without work and without the prospect of finding work locally.

  • Latrobe Valley Regional Transition Policies and Outcomes 2017-2020
    Crawford School of Public Policy Centre for Climate and Energy Policy After the Hazelwood coal fired power station closure: Latrobe Valley regional transition policies and outcomes 2017-2020 CCEP Working Paper 2010 Nov 2020 John Wiseman Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, University of Melbourne Annabelle Workman Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania Sebastian Fastenrath Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, University of Melbourne Frank Jotzo Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University Abstract This paper reviews and evaluates key policy initiatives and strategies designed to strengthen regional economic, social and environmental outcomes in the Latrobe Valley (Victoria, Australia) in the three years following the closure of the Hazelwood power station. Prior to its sudden closure in March 2017, Hazelwood was the most carbon- intensive electricity generator in Australia. The debate over the future of Hazelwood became an icon in the nation’s ongoing political struggle over climate and energy policy. Employment and economic outcomes in the three years since closure indicate promising initial progress in creating the foundations required to facilitate an equitable transition to a more prosperous and sustainable regional economy. The Hazelwood case study provides support for a number of propositions about successful regional energy transition including that well managed, just transitions to a prosperous zero-carbon economy are likely to be strengthened by proactive, well integrated industry policy and regional renewal strategies; respectful and inclusive engagement with workers and communities; and adequately funded, well-coordinated public investment in economic and community strategies, tailored to regional strengths and informed by local experience. | T HE A U S T R AL I AN N A TI O N A L U NIV E RS I T Y Keywords: social and economic transition; coal fired power; Latrobe valley; Australia JEL Classification: Q01, R10, R11 Suggested Citation: Wiseman, J., Workman, A., Fastenrath S.
