It is a privilege to Chair the new Pilbara Development Commission Board as we enter a new and exciting phase of development. A strengthened Pilbara Development Commission (PDC) follows the recent merger of the previous Pilbara Cities Office from the Department of Regional Development and Lands into the PDC.

The new PDC will be responsible for the next phase of Pilbara development following the commitment of $1.2 billion through the Pilbara Cities initiative building on previous investments to support new opportunities in key infrastructure projects, town centre and housing developments, community facilities, cultural recognition and the diversification of economic development in the Pilbara.

A focus on strategic planning and engagement will be a prominent feature of PDC operations to seek to further leverage new investment and take advantage of significant interest both nationally and internationally in development of the Pilbara.

Mike Hollett
Chairman
