Shire of Dandaragan

Economic Development Grant 

The Shire of Dandaragan’s new Economic Development Grant aims to support innovation, attract investment in industry, entice more visitors, and encourage a broad range of projects with the potential to bring more people to work and live in the Shire of Dandaragan. 

Attracting diverse and sustainable businesses, increasing local employment opportunities, helping businesses improve their capacity to become more competitive, enticing more tourists to visit our communities for longer periods of time, and, attracting more investment in innovative industry projects within the Shire of Dandaragan will help to build and support a diverse, sustainable, and thriving local economy. 

The Economic Development Grant criteria aligns closely with the economic development priorities outlined in the Shire’s Strategic Community Plan 2029, and the Economic and Tourism Development Strategy 2029; both developed through significant consultation with community members across the Shire.
