The $415million Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project is a key priority of the State Government’s Royalties for Regions initiative, recognising regional centres as the backbone of the Western Australian economy.

 

The aim of the project is to realise the full potential of available resources in the East Kimberley in order to create a vibrant, major regional centre.

 

The project will increase the size of the Ord irrigation area to about 22,000ha of agricultural land. This will provide major opportunities for growth and sustainability for the region’s economic and social development, in conjunction with the improvement of social, community and common-use infrastructure.
