PILBARA REVITALISATION PLAN - PHASE 2
The Pilbara Revitalisation Plan was established by the Minister for Regional Development, Hon Brendon Grylls in May 2009 as a four year program to support the development of the region with an initial allocation of $300m, which has ground to $456.8m with additional monies allocated in the 2010/11 State Budget.
Phase Two of the Plan is being led by the Pilbara Development Commission and managed by the Department for Regional Development Lands. Funding is available to assist with strategic infrastructure initiatives that support the future growth and sustainability of the region. A Strategic Directions Group, established as a subcommittee of the Commission's Board, determines the strategic priority areas for the region and recommends projects for funding to the Pilbara Revitalisation Plan Steering Committee and the Minister for Regional Development.
Projects must align with the objectives of the Royalties for Regions Program and the Pilbara Revitalisation Plan Phase 2 priority areas which include land availability and affordable housing, community activation, health, education, essential infrastructure and Indigenous issues.
