Industrial
We also deliver a focused program to unlock the development potential of key industrial sites and precincts including:
- Brooklyn Industrial Precinct
- Orica Site, Deer Park
- Sunshine Energy Park
- Solomon Heights Estate
- Calder Park Industrial Estate.
These sites often have development constraints including:
- The presence of native flora and fauna,
- Potential contamination,
- Lack of access, and
- Past or current uses.
Strategic sites
Our Strategic Sites program facilitates a holistic and coordinated approach to working through constraints and unlocking the development potential of these sites to provide local employment and business development opportunities.
The redevelopment of industrial land often triggers a range of requirements and contributions.
Our Redevelopment of former Industrial Land brochure (PDF 1.0 MB) provides guidance to property owners about:
- Potential contributions,
- Charges from other authorities,
- Contamination, and
- Costs associated with rezoning land.
The brochure is also available at our Customer service centres.
