The Wheatbelt is a region of strength, diversity and opportunity. Proximity to the Perth metropolitan area, Perth domestic and international airports as well as established transport routes throughout the region make it the perfect location for investment.
The economy of the Wheatbelt has traditionally been based upon agriculture, the dominant industry of the region. Other industries, including mining, retail & commerce, manufacturing, fishing and aquaculture, tourism and horticulture also contribute significantly to the Wheatbelt economy. Increasing diversification and value-adding are providing stability and growth while our strong communities reinforce the 'quality of life' appeal of the region.
More information on economic activity in the Wheatbelt is available from the Wheatbelt Development Commission and in the recently published “Wheatbelt: a region in profile 2011”.
