(GWF), a leading Australian food manufacturer, will invest $92 million AUD (approximately $65.6 million USD) to increase capacity at its Mauri flour mill in Ballarat, Victoria. The expansion plan includes building new warehouses and production facilities, as well as upgrading other parts of the company's network, such as the Tip Top bakery business.

The Victorian government announced on April 21 that this investment is supported by the government's $150 million AUD Victorian Investment Fund, which focuses on projects driving economic growth, with particular emphasis on regional and rural areas. The expansion is expected to create 47 new jobs.
