The purpose of the Pilbara Development Commission is to be the catalyst for development and growth in the Pilbara.
Western Australia's (WA) regions are dominant drivers of state and national economic growth. The Regional Development Commission Act 1993 (the Act) establishes nine Regional Development Commissions and the Regional Development Council.
The Commission works across government, with public and private sector organisations to support the economic growth, internationalisation, and diversification of the Pilbara economy to stimulate job growth, increase industry innovation and to ensure that our economy remains competitive over the long term.
This means that we focus on ensuring that infrastructure supports the needs of local growing businesses and communities, and that business has the infrastructure it needs to allow it to innovate, and trade nationally and internationally.
The objectives of the Pilbara Development Commission are to:
- maximise job creation and improving career opportunities in the region.
- develop and broaden the economic base of the region.
- identify infrastructure services to promote economic and social development within the region.
- provide information and advice to promote business development within the region.
- seek to ensure that the general standard of government services and access to those services in the region is comparable to that which applies in the metropolitan area.
- take steps to encourage, promote, facilitate, and monitor the economic development in the region.
