Wheatbelt North (WBN) has the economic advantage of being close to the Perth Metropolitan Area, the State’s largest market. Industrial diversification and locally initiated economic activities are broadening the economic base of the Region and having a positive influence on its stability and growth. Road needs in WBN are not being met by the current network which was built mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. With significant regional development, diversification of the agricultural industry, increasing cartage of lime sands and a thriving tourism industry there is an urgent need to plan and implement projects across the network.
