The Mid West region of Western Australia is strategically located on an iconic coastline between Perth and the growing economies of the State’s north. Being a central point between the resource rich Pilbara, the growing Kimberley region and the State’s capital city of Perth provides the Mid West with a host of different economic opportunities – all of which the region intends to capitalise on. Traditionally an agricultural region, the Mid West is now attracting unprecedented investment interest from a range of other industry sectors. The mining industry has quickly become the main economic driver of the region.

Geraldton, the region’s capital, is currently in the midst of a massive economic expansion and has significant capacity for further growth. Land availability is good, housing prices are affordable and existing infrastructure is well-established. Strong business and economic connections exist between Geraldton and the Pilbara. Cutting edge science and technology will complement mining activity in the region and bring a variety of economic, training and education opportunities for its residents.
