Last week, our CEO Kirsty Danby had the pleasure of hosting Shelley Robertson at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA Business Breakfast with guest speaker the Hon. Roger Cook. The event highlighted the State Government’s vision for WA’s industrial and economic development, including the newly announced Strategic Industrial Lands Activation Plan, which aims to unlock industrial land for future investment and job-creating projects across emerging sectors. This initiative is supported by the $1 billion Strategic Industries Fund, which helps advance approvals and build common user infrastructure.

Key Insights:

▪️ WA is investing $250 million to prepare industrial estates with common user infrastructure, making it easier for companies to set up projects.

▪️The State is prioritising projects that strengthen WA’s role in global supply chains and support decarbonisation goals.

▪️Streamlined approvals and infrastructure development are designed to enable faster project delivery, and growth in emerging industries such as defence and sustainable manufacturing.

A special note of thanks to Aaron Morey, on his contribution through his role as CCIWA Chief Economist, we wish him every success as he takes on his new role as the The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia – CMEWA CEO.

Events like these provide invaluable insight into WA’s industrial priorities, helping us better support our clients in navigating opportunities, driving growth, and staying ahead in a rapidly evolving market.
