Royalties for Regions

Royalties for Regions is an initiative by the Western Australian government that allocates a portion of resource revenue—like mining and natural resource profits—to support regional areas. The goal is to boost local economies, improve infrastructure, create jobs, and provide essential services in regional communities. Essentially, it ensures that regions benefit financially from the resources extracted from their land, promoting growth and development outside the state’s urban centers. The funding is invested in projects that enhance quality of life, promote sustainable development, and address regional disparities.
