WELCOME

The Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia is vast and diverse, from the rich red deserts with mineral wealth, the magnificent Great Western Woodlands, to the iconic white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of the Southern Ocean.

The Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission (GEDC) acknowledges the traditional custodians throughout the Goldfields-Esperance region and Western Australia, both past and present. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community and pay our respect to them and their cultures.

What We Do

The aim of the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission (GEDC) is to make the region an even greater place to live, work and invest and the GEDC works with business, industry, the community and government to achieve this goal.
