In recognition of the importance of land and infrastructure in attracting investment in industries, Western Australia is actively developing strategic industrial areas around our State, supporting delivery of a diversified State economy as well as the global and national decarbonisation journey.
Ensuring a supply of industrial land and associated enabling infrastructure supports businesses to grow their operations and attracts investment by increasing our nation’s competitive offerings. It supports the development of new and emerging industries, in particular those industries that will underpin the green energy transition such as the production and scaling of renewable hydrogen, advanced critical minerals processing, development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology, and decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure.
There are more than 10 established strategic industrial areas designed for use by strategic and heavy industries that generate large investment, employment and value of production.
These have been selected for their proximity to large resource projects and key infrastructure, including roads, rail and ports.

- Mid West
