What is a State Significant Industrial Precinct?

State Significant Industrial Precincts (SSIPs) are identified in the Victorian Government’s broad planning framework, Plan Melbourne. They provide strategically located land for major industrial development linked to the Principal Freight Network and transport gateways. It is state policy that these areas are protected from incompatible land uses to allow continual growth in freight, logistics and manufacturing investment.

The Officer South Employment PSP is identified as a SSIP south of Lecky Road. There is provision within Melbourne Industrial and Commercial Land Use Plan (MICLUP) that states that the Officer South Employment SSIP may be reconfigured to support the establishing community at Cardinia Road Employment PSP.
