DevelopmentWA
DevelopmentWA is the WA Government’s land development agency, and through the Industrial Land Authority (ILA), we ensure there is a pipeline of land that meets the demand of buyers, developers and investors. Our work includes removing barriers to land development and investment, streamlining the development approval process, facilitating innovation through the provision of common user facilities, and integrating industrial land with other key infrastructure.
We additionally support the development of Science and Innovation Precincts, which have become a feature of the global race to attract, foster and develop innovative industries. We work closely with stakeholders and other agencies to align our activity with the State’s policies to support investment and drive economic development.
