Wheatbelt Blueprint Released

After twelve months of research and stakeholder engagement, the Wheatbelt Regional Investment Blueprint has been released for public comment. The public comment period ends on Friday, 18 July 2014.

This Blueprint provides a framework for the future growth of the Wheatbelt, and takes us on a journey of identifying:

• The desired future state of the Wheatbelt region (Vision);
• The Wheatbelt’s potential to grow and prosper in the global environment in which we function;
• The Region’s human, economic, social and environmental capacity, and gaps in that capacity; and
• The interventions needed to maximise the existing capacity, minimise the gaps and thus transform the Region from a ‘business as usual’ scenario to achieve aspirational population and economic growth goals.

Access to the Wheatbelt Blueprint and comment form is available at
