The future of a proposed waste to energy facility in Victoria's east is in doubt as the government reviews a $48.2 million grant approved by former prime minister Scott Morrison.
Key points:
- A $48.2 million federal grant for a waste to energy plant is under review
- The grant was announced weeks before the election under a grants scheme over which Scott Morrison had final approval
- The Department of Industry says it will honour existing contracts
On April 29, three weeks before the federal election, the Coalition announced the grant to Japanese-owned company Opal Australia Paper, under the Modern Manufacturing Initiative.
The $500 million project was pitched to burn kerbside rubbish to power a paper mill at Maryvale in the Latrobe Valley.
It has since been revealed that former prime minister Scott Morrison had final sign-off on grants awarded under the initiative, a move which has been criticised as pork barrelling.
