Mid West Investment Plan

The Mid West Investment Plan (MWIP) was developed by the Mid West Development Commission in collaboration with the (then) Department of Regional Development following extensive consultation with key community and government stakeholders over a 12 month period. The MWIP outlines the region’s strategic infrastructure priorities for enabling economic and social development.

The MWIP has guided the allocation of around $126 million in Royalties for Regions funding since 2011/12. Projects funded have and are providing a substantial economic stimulus to the region and potentially generate employment opportunities for local businesses in the planning, construction and operational stages of the proposed projects/initiatives.

The objectives of the MWIP and subsequent investment in prioritised regional projects clearly link to Royalties for Regions objectives and policy.

The Commission Board has been responsible for recommending strategic projects for MWIP funding to the Minister and Cabinet as well as monitoring the delivery of funded projects. Due to State Government budgetary constraints, there is no residual MWIP funding available to allocate to new projects.
