The website provides information about the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission, its activities and the Goldfields-Esperance region.

The Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission (GEDC) is working with the Western Australian Community Foundation (WACF) and the Goldfields Esperance community to look at ways in which the community can create sustainable funding opportunities for the future.

The Goldfields-Esperance Regional Development Scheme (GERDS) has operated in the region from between 2004 and 2008-09 under GEDC management. The primary objective of GERDS was to improve the social and economic development of the Goldfields-Esperance region through funding projects to attract investment and increase employment. Funding for the program has been completed but a number of projects are still in progress.

The Industry Development Centre (IDC) is a tool designed to link regional buying and selling organisations.

The key features of the IDC include:

• A substantial database of regionally based businesses.
• A tenders page.
• Business and government information links including maps and statistics.
