Gascoyne Regional Investment Blueprint Gascoyne Development Commission The Gascoyne Development Commission acknowledges the contribution of a number of individuals and organisations in the production of this Blueprint. It is a result of extensive consultations with a broad cross- section of the region’s stakeholders. This is a draft of the Gascoyne Regional Investment Blueprint. 15 Stuart Street Version Purpose Date CARNARVON WA 6701 A Ministerial Draft August 2014 T: +61 8 9941 7000 B Ministerial Draft November 2014 F: +61 8 9941 2576 C Ministerial Draft March 2015 E: [email protected] D Ministerial Draft July 2015 W: www.gdc.wa.gov.au E Ministerial Final October 2015 GASCOYNE REGIONAL INVESTMENT BLUEPRINT Foreword 3 GASCOYNE REGIONAL INVESTMENT BLUEPRINT he Gascoyne region in the north-west of Western Australia is rich in resources and investment potential with stunning natural beauty Tand a strategic central location. The region stretches 600 km along the Indian Ocean coast including two World Heritage Areas, and over 500 km inland through dramatic desert country beyond the iconic Mount Augustus, the world’s largest monocline. With an area of 135,277 km square and a population of 10,300, the Gascoyne is known to have the lowest population density of any region in Australia. Despite this, the region is a very important contributor to the Western Australian economy, with its gross regional product (GRP) in 2012/13 being $869 million or 0.4%1 of gross state product. The Gascoyne Regional Investment Blueprint establishes the evidence, framework and strategies for the Gascoyne to grow further through informed investment decisions; and contribute more in a national and global environment. It includes consideration of megatrends; the unique characteristics of the Gascoyne; and the regional drivers and inhibitors that will influence development. We are proud of our vision and associated strategies which have been created after engagement and extensive consultation with our regional, state and national stakeholder partners. Only through sharing the vision, collaboration and commitment across all levels of government, the private sector and the community will we secure Tony Beard the current and future opportunities of the Gascoyne. Chair, Gascoyne Development I look forward to the journey with you.
