Regional development

WA is Australia’s largest state and comprises 10 regions: Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West, Wheatbelt, Peel, South West, Great Southern, Goldfields–Esperance and Perth.

The 9 regions outside Perth are home to 25% of WA’s population, generate approximately 40% of the state’s gross state product and are an integral part of WA’s rich cultural identity. 

Many of WA’s comparative advantages are in the regions, and are well placed to realise the six strategic opportunities to build a more diverse and resilient economy.
