The Bunbury Geographe Economic Alliance (BGEA), in collaboration with its Local Government partners—the City of Bunbury and the Shires of Harvey, Dardanup, and Capel—is proud to present the Major Investment Vision for the Region over the next five years.
Recognised by the State Government as a significant growth area and poised to become the State’s “Second City,” the realization of this vision will require substantial investment in key industries and the creation of quality jobs.
Our Investment Prospectus highlights a select number of critical projects chosen for their strong potential to attract significant private and government investment, as well as to drive job creation in the region. These projects are poised to deliver benefits on a regional scale, fostering significant new employment opportunities, further diversifying our economy, and supporting the long-term growth necessary to fulfill the State Government’s vision for our region.
The Region has a unique opportunity to build on its strengths in mining, manufacturing, and energy generation, particularly considering the global shifts towards decarbonization and advanced manufacturing. Additionally, increased investment in our diversified agriculture sector—focusing on improving supply chain efficiency, embracing modern technology, practice and advancing downstream food processing—presents a compelling opportunity for further economic growth.
We look forward to sharing the vision with a range of key stakeholders including State and Federal Government Ministers.
