Grants

The Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission is responsible for the coordination and implementation of several development and enhancement schemes which provide funding opportunities for Goldfields-Esperance communities, organisations, businesses and individuals.

Royalties for Regions Goldfields-Esperance Regional Grants Scheme

The Royalties for Regions Goldfields Esperance Regional Grants Scheme is a part of the Western Australian Government's Royalties for Regions initiative which will reinvest the equivalent of 25% of the State's annual mining and resources royalties revenue into regional communities every year.

Funding is provided to assist infrastructure, services and community projects including the provision of headworks and to help in the development of regional communities so they prosper as vibrant and interesting places in which to live.

The second round of the Goldfields-Esperance Regional Grants Scheme opened on 20 October 2009 with $3.5 million allocated to the Goldfields-Esperance region. Applications close on 10 February 2010.
