Source: Victoria in Future 2016 Growing regional Victoria’s economy Regional Victoria provides 30 per cent of the state’s exports. As traditional economic delineations change, regional Victoria and Melbourne’s economic linkages are becoming increasingly important. The government has identified priority industry sectors with potential for remarkable growth. Collectively, these sectors have the potential to drive up to $70 billion in additional economic output by 2025 and create more than 400,000 new jobs for Victorians. Regional Victoria is well placed to benefit from future growth and export development in a number of these sectors. Like most of the world, Victoria is moving towards becoming a low-carbon economy, which brings both big challenges and big opportunities. Regional Victoria is well positioned to take advantage of the significant job opportunities expected to emerge in the new energy industries that will drive the state’s transition to a net zero emissions
