As a part of the Regional Development Portfolio, we work in alignment with other Regional Development Commissions and state government to define and work towards set strategic priorities.
Guided by our 5 strategic priorities, we work to maintain and grow existing strengths, and identify opportunities to develop new endeavours within the Great Southern.
Among the key areas of strength and potential are primary production, premium foods, wine and other beverages. Many of the region’s jobs are in sectors such as education and training, healthcare and social assistance, and retail and hospitality. We see further potential in tourism, the creative industry, aquaculture, Noongar enterprises and film sectors.
