What is a ‘regionally significant industrial precinct’ (RSIP)?
Both precincts are identified as a ‘regionally significant industrial precinct’ (RSIP), under the Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan (MICLUP). MICLUP identifies state, regionally and locally significant industrial and commercial precincts across Greater Melbourne.
Regionally significant industrial precincts are defined as key industrial areas that contribute significantly to local and regional economies. Some of these areas are well-established and support a range of industrial uses while others are still in the process of transitioning and supporting new uses. Some RSIPs include future employment areas identified through Growth Corridor Plans. These areas need to be planned for as key industrial areas that can transition to a broader range of employment opportunities.
