The Latrobe City Council in Australia is actively advocating for more investment to support the local community's transition from coal-powered energy generation to renewable sources. During the June Council Meeting, the Council endorsed a submission to the Victorian Energy Jobs Plan Consultation Paper, emphasizing the need for a tailored transition roadmap for Latrobe City. The submission also includes proposals for establishing local job quotas within the new energy sector, setting up wind and hydrogen worker training centers in Latrobe City, and capitalizing on the region's energy industry heritage. Mayor Darren Howe highlighted the Council's commitment to advancing projects that will benefit Latrobe City and called for the Victorian Government to develop a practical localized plan. The initiative aims to address skills gaps, promote job security, and contribute to Victoria's renewable energy targets. By focusing on skills development and job creation in the renewable energy sector, the Council aims to secure a sustainable future for the region and boost economic growth. The submission acknowledges the collaborative efforts of various government agencies in meeting the workforce requirements for clean energy generation in the transition to a net-zero economy.
