Dozens of workers at a paper mill in eastern Victoria will be stood down from New Year’s Day due to a shortage of materials.

Some 37 workers at the Opal Australian Paper mill in Maryvale would be impacted immediately, according to an official from the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining & Energy Union.
