Regions of Western Australia - Definition |
|
|
The regions of Western Australia are distinct geographic areas of Western Australia, defined by the government of Western Australia for purposes of economic development administration. Together they comprise the whole of mainland Western Australia, with the exception of the Perth metropolitan area which is not contained in a region. Although originally defined for administrative purposes, they are a useful and convenient way of referring to regional areas of Western Australia, and so receive much wider usage.
The regions were established by the Regional Development Commissions Act 1993, which defined their extents and established Regional Development Commissions to promote their economic development. In defining the regions, an attempt was made to capture distinct socio-economic communities. For example, the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia has an economy based heavily on mining, whereas the Wheatbelt region is economically dependent on agriculture.
