ABOUT THE SOUTH WEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

We are working with you to shape the future of the South West region. 

We’re a statutory authority of the Western Australia Government that strives to make the State’s South West an even better place to live, work and invest.

We do so by partnering with communities, government, business and industry to identify and support projects that benefit the region.

Driving economic development outcomes is a core area of focus, with growth, internationalisation and diversification central to our strategic aims.

We play an important role in maximizing job creation, broadening local economies, identifying the need for infrastructure services, supporting business, and ensuring access to government services.

We take a holistic approach to ensuring the South West is a region of first choice, also working to improve quality of life, enhance liveability and maximise the unique qualities of the region.

We lead projects like the South West Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Hub proposal. We support projects and businesses through the provision of grants or assistance via our TradeStart and Local Content programs.
