The Andrews Government has released the details of their Local Jobs First—Victorian Industry Participation Policy (VIPP) Forward Plan, which lists 80 current and anticipated projects that will be earmarked as opportunities for supporting local industry and jobs. Through this initiative, the government sets minimum local content requirements for major infrastructure, goods and services projects throughout Victoria in order to provide small to medium businesses an opportunity to supply for them.

The Forward Plan now lists 80 current and expected projects that will support local industry and jobs. The VIPP Strategic project Forward Plan is available on the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources website here.

Interested companies are invited to register their interest in supplying the projects through the Industry Capability Network here.
