🏛️ Victorian Government commits funds to progress the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal

The Victorian Government has committed $124.5 million in the FY26/27 budget to progress State and Commonwealth assessment and approvals for the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal.

We were honoured to host Minister for Ports and Freight, the Hon. Melissa Horne MP, and Minister for Climate Action, the Hon. Lily D'Ambrosio MP, at the Port of Hastings on Monday 4 May.

The Ministers were joined by local Member for Hastings; Paul Mercurio MP, Legislative Representative for Eastern Victoria; Tom McIntosh MP and Executive Director of Freight Victoria; Cameron Robinson, along with our Port of Hastings Corporation team
