19 Shire councilors and CEOs from across the three Regional Organisation of Councils in the Eastern Wheatbelt gathered on Monday in Perth for the Made in the Eastern Wheatbelt: Shaping the Future Together Forum, a short, sharp and practical discussion focused on what it will take to grow population, strengthen essential services and unlock investment.

The forum brought together members of Parliament, senior representatives from State Government, and regional partners to focus on telling the story of the sub region and advocate for the enabling foundations the eastern Wheatbelt region needs to continue to contribute to the state’s economy and thrive towards 2050: land and housing supply, workforce attraction and retention, power reliability and safe and efficient freight links.
