Update on the South West Region Industrial Land Study.
Kemerton Industrial Park
Just 17 kilometres from the port city of Bunbury is Kemerton Industrial Park, the region's major resource processing area.
The park offers prime industrial land in the heart of the South West and is accessible by major transport routes including the Forrest Highway, which connects Bunbury to the State capital of Perth.
A number of international operations are based at Kemerton, including a silicon producer. Visit the Kemerton Industrial Park website for more information.
Multi-million dollar expansion at Kemerton
Silicon producer Simcoa recently announced plans to expand
its operations in the South West, with two new furnaces to be built
at Kemerton Industrial Park.
The project will double Simcoa's current capacity by the end of 2013 and help meet the increasing worldwide demand for silicon, driven in part by the growing solar energy sector.
Shotts Industrial Park
The proposed Shotts Industrial Park, in the coal-rich Collie area, will be key to accommodating future industries.
Since the Shotts Industrial Park business case was endorsed by State Cabinet in early 2009, a number of companies have shown interest in setting up operations at the 235ha park, including a urea plant.
Located in close proximity to the Collie coalfields, the site is serviced by power, rail and roads and located in close proximity to the Collie coalfields.
The South West Development Commission is part of the steering committee for the industrial park and will continue to work towards advancing the proposal.
Preston Enterprise Park (northern precint)
The South West Development Commission is developing the Preston
Enterprise Park (Northern Precint) to accommodate future South West
business and industry.
Picton Enterprise Park is located on the South Western Highway,
approximately 10 kilometres from the Bunbury CBD.
The Enterprise Park is home to a range of industries operating
in the sectors of manufacturing and fabrication, fuel storage and
distribution, and waste recycling.
The South West Development Commission has undertaken feasibility
work for the next stage of the Picton Enterprise Park.
