Anglesea could be one of the first sites in Victoria to get a proposed nuclear site.
The federal opposition is close to announcing seven proposed sites across the country in coming weeks.
Anglesea and the LaTrobe Valley are the sites being predicted for Victoria, with both having defunct power stations.
A Coalition MP has told The Age the policy launch will happen in early June.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton told Geelong Broadcasters as early as September last year, the Surf Coast could be home to a small modular nuclear reactor.
“It’s zero emissions, you can put it into an existing brownfield site,” Mr Dutton said at the time.
“So when the coal fired generation comes to an end, you can put the nuclear modular reactors into that facility,” he said.
The opposition leader said nuclear power would be cheaper than wind and solar, and could replace former coal-fired operations, but there needed to be a mature debate about bringing nuclear energy to Australia.
However the former power station site in Anglesea has been earmarked for an eco-tourism site known as the Eden Project
The Albanese government has attacked the Coalition’s plan for nuclear energy, with a report showing the first plant would cost $16 billion and be finished by 2040 at the earliest.
