FEDERAL Water Minister Malcolm Turnbull remains reluctant to give $20 million to Corio’s water recycling plant without a commitment to the region from Shell Australia.
“Unlike Labor, the (Federal) Government has not rushed to commit funding without fully taking into account all of the circumstances and the best interests of the Geelong community,” a spokesman for Mr Turnbull said.
“The Australian Government will continue to properly and fully consider this issue in the best interests of the Geelong community.”
