Economic Benefits

The State Government has committed $45 million to the development of the Bunbury Waterfront.

Economic forecasts anticipate the project to attract nearly $3 billion in investment for Bunbury over the next 30 years. The development is projected to generate 3,000 jobs during the building phase and 7,400 jobs in the longer term.

Bunbury is undergoing a period of significant growth and is one of the nation’s fastest growing cities. Demographer Bernard Salt, of KPMG, has forecast Bunbury's expected population growth would mean that 2,000 new homes a year would be needed. This development will be critical.

Generating sustainable growth

Progressive social, economic and environmental principles are being applied to this project, in keeping with LandCorp's commitment to sustainable development and the State Sustainability Strategy "Hope for the future".
