A MOVE from Healesville to Woori Yallock could see more jobs move to the Yarra Valley, as VicForests pack up their Healesville and Melbourne offices.
On Wednesday 8 April, VicForests announced it had signed a lease to move its Healesville office to Woori Yallock in July or August.
The new office will be located near the Parks Victoria, CFA and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) complex on Symes Road.
CEO, Robert Green, said the move would help the organisation to have a long-term presence in the valley, with staff moving from VicForests’ Healesville and Melbourne offices to Woori Yallock.
“This move allows us to base ourselves long term in the Yarra Valley and remain part of its community, he said.
“We look forward to continuing to have a presence in the region and contributing to the local economy.”
Mr Green said the new office would also have bigger space, allowing for more employees to be based there in the future.
VicForests’ Healesville office opened in 2008, and currently has a lease advertisement on its shopfront.
