GEELONG’S ring road employment precinct is one of the region’s three priority projects for a second round of regional development funding.
Regional Development Australia’s Barwon South West committee has also nominated two projects in Warrnambool and Glenelg shire areas.
Committee co-deputy chair Peter Dorling said each project would prepare a detailed plan prior to submission in Canberra.
Geelong received $20 million in regional development funding last year for library and heritage centre and Simmonds Stadium projects.
Round two of the funding has $200 million available for projects with a “strong regional impact”.
The committee advises governments on the region’s funding priorities, covering Geelong and south-west Victoria.
The employment precinct project wants $3.6 million toward its total cost of $10.7 million to pay for infrastructure works.
The 500-hectare industrial park is on Heales Rd, Corio.
