WA's regions

WA’s regions are highly diverse, with a range of social, environmental and economic strengths, and inequalities such as life expectancy, unemployment and digital accessibility. The regions are highly interdependent, with social and economic linkages spanning regional boundaries and global markets.

The Strategy takes a place-based approach in order to tailor infrastructure responses to the needs and opportunities of the Perth metropolitan area and the state’s 9 regional areas.

Energy

Around 1 in 3 households in WA have solar power systems on their roofs. In 2020 alone, more than 300 megawatts of residential solar power were added in WA, which is almost equivalent to the annual output of the state’s largest coal-fired power station.
