One of Victoria’s largest motorhome and caravan dealerships will provide 15 new jobs with the construction of new workshops, service facilities and work bays in Geelong.
Minister for Regional Development Jaclyn Symes this week visited Prestige Jayco Geelong to inspect construction on the company’s state-of-the-art sales, administration and service centre at its Newcomb site.
The expansion will support 15 new jobs, including workshop technicians and sales and administrative staff, bringing the total number of employees to 57.
As part of the broader expansion, Prestige Jayco is redeveloping and expanding its facilities with two new workshops that accommodate 22 work bay areas and will double the capacity to service vehicles.
Funding from the Labor government has also supported the previous construction of a pre-delivery and service workshop, which was completed in December 2023.
“This expansion is transforming the facility and will create more jobs for locals as well as increased capacity to the benefit of customers,” Ms Symes said.
“We’re proud to invest in projects that help regional businesses grow.”
Prestige Jayco’s expansion is part of the Labor government’s investment of more than $47 billion in just over a decade to help rural and regional Victorian towns.
“We are proud to support the growth of local businesses in Geelong, which play a key role in helping the regional Victorian economy thrive,” Member for Geelong Christine Couzens said.
