A collaborative craft malting facility for brewers, distillers and bakers, and the development of new bio and geothermal renewable energy sources, are just a few of the new pilot projects about to get underway in Gippsland, as the region charts a new path beyond coal-fired power generation.
Located in the east of the Australian state of Victoria, Gippsland is demonstrating how a joined-up strategic approach can revitalise regions outside big cities by harnessing local creativity and innovation to develop a productive and sustainable economy.
