WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S LEADING INDUSTRIES

Western Australia is a thriving State with strengths in a range of industries. It is home to innovative start-ups, and world-renowned experts and institutes that will expand your thinking.

Our abundance of natural resources has made us a global centre for the resources sector, with some of the world’s best mining, oil and gas, and new energies expertise right here in Western Australia.

Many multi-national companies like Shell, Chevron Australia, BP, Rio Tinto and BHP have major offices here, and Western Australia’s renewable and extractive industries means we export more to Asia than any other Australian State or Territory.

There are also a number of world-leading medical research facilities here in Perth, fostering some of the world’s greatest minds like Nobel prize-winning academic Professor Barry Marshall AC.

Western Australia has eight priority economic sectors identified as the keys to building a more resilient, sustainable and diverse economy.

SHARK BAY REGION

A wonderland of world-class natural attractions, the Shark Bay World Heritage Area was the first location in Western Australia to receive UNESCO status in 1991.

The area meets four of the ten required natural criteria and remains one of only a handful of places in the world to achieve this high-criteria status level. The colourful and diverse landscapes, rare flora and fauna and world-class examples of Earth’s ecological processes all contribute to the region’s World Heritage listing. The area contains plant species that are unique and considered new to science, as well as five of Australia’s 26 species of endangered native mammals and 35% of all of Australia’s bird species.

The 12 species of seagrass found in Shark Bay cover over 4,000 square kilometres (approximately the size of the Perth metropolitan area) and support a high diversity of fauna such as dolphins, fish, turtles and crustaceans. This seagrass is a vital food source for one of the most stable dugong populations in the world, with over 10,000 dugongs inhabiting the Shark Bay region. The region is also home to the longest studied pod of dolphins in the world, residing in Monkey Mia.

Shark Bay is approximately 8 hours, 30 minutes’ drive north of Perth (to Denham), or a two hour flight with Regional Express Airlines.

NINGALOO REGION

The Ningaloo Reef is the world’s largest fringing reef, and one of the longest near-shore reef systems in the world.

Stretching 300 kilometers from Carnarvon’s Red Bluff to the Muiron Islands in the north and Exmouth Gulf’s Bundegi Beach in the east, the Ningaloo Reef is regarded as one of the world’s last great ocean paradises. The UNESCO Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area was established in 2011. Encompassing the Ningaloo Marine Park, which protects the Reef and Coastal Reserves as well as land-based wonders like Cape Range National Park, the area received its world heritage listing due to its marine and terrestrial properties, such as rare flora and fauna including the whale shark - 300 to 500 of these megafauna congregate at Ningaloo each year!

The Ningaloo Region of Australia’s Coral Coast encompasses the towns of Carnarvon, Coral Bay and Exmouth. Ningaloo also offers great connections to other incredible parts of Western Australia, including Kennedy Range National Park (three hours’ drive east of Carnarvon), Karijini National Park (eight hours’ drive east of Exmouth), and Onslow and the Mackerel Islands (four hours’ drive north of Exmouth).

The Ningaloo Region is easily accessed by air; Regional Express Airlines flies between Perth and Carnarvon, while Qantas flies between Perth and Exmouth’s Learmonth Airport.

GOLDEN OUTBACK REGION

Nature reveals her full spectrum of colours in the Golden Outback. Capture contrasts where red earth meets Australia’s whitest sands at Lucky Bay, and technicolour fields are filled with wildflowers found nowhere else on Earth.

This vast region, which covers 54% of Western Australia, is home to an array of incredible experiences. Here, you can step into the world’s largest outdoor art gallery, surf one of Australia’s biggest waves at Wave Rock, or climb Mount Augustus, a monolith that’s twice the size of Uluru. Discover ancient Aboriginal culture and rock paintings, drive the Golden Quest Discovery Trail for a unique off-road adventure through Goldfields history, or set up camp under an immense night sky and spot constellations you’ve never seen before.

At the very heart of Western Australia’s Golden Outback lies the modern mining hub of Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields, offering fascinating insights into the history and heritage of the wild gold rush days. As the regions largest town, Kalgoorlie is a thriving cosmopolitan hub.

KALGOORLIE AND GOLDFIELDS REGION

Kalgoorlie Boulder and the Goldfields offer a real Australian outback adventure and a fascinating insight into the region’s colourful gold rush history.

The towns and small communities of the Goldfields were built following the discovery of gold in the 1890’s, and while multimillion-dollar mining corporations have replaced the smaller gold prospecting operators and Kalgoorlie-Boulder has been transformed into a modern cosmopolitan town, reminders of the wild and vibrant early days are everywhere you look.

Immerse your delegates in the history of the region and try your luck at gold prospecting and fossicking, or visit one of the largest open cut gold mines in Australia - the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, which can be seen from space, and serves as a stark point of difference to the rustic methods previously employed to collect gold in the region.

Virgin and Qantas operate multiple flights daily between Kalgoorlie and Perth, while the town is connected to Australia’s eastern States through Virgin’s weekly Melbourne direct route.

The largest venue in the region for business events, the Goldfields Arts Centre, can host business events of up to 700 delegates.

WHEATBELT AND WAVE ROCK REGION

The Western Australian Wheatbelt is home to the world-famous Wave Rock, as well as character townships, miles of golden fields, charming rural farms and great outback self-drive adventures. A short drive from Perth, this region offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life for business events to be taken at a slower pace.

Wave Rock, near Hyden is the most recognised tourist attraction in the region – an amazing rock formation stretching 100 metres and standing 15 metres high in the shape of a giant wave about to crash over the surrounding bush.

Experience the very best of the region’s country charm and rich pioneering history by visiting the character outback pubs, exploring the quaint main streets and meeting the friendly locals of the towns. If you’re planning an incentive trip for a smaller corporate group, show them a true Australian farm experience with a stay at one of the many farm stays, where delegates can get up close with cute farmyard animals and enjoy good homecooked food and deliciously fresh local produce, from wines and preserves to olive oil and yabbies.

ESPERANCE AND FITZGERALD COAST REGION

Esperance and the Fitzgerald Coast, located on the south coast of Western Australia, boast some of the State’s most pristine and untouched coastal scenery, national parks and marine playgrounds.

The brilliant blue waters, snow-white beaches and over 100 islands create a dazzling contrast to the red earth of the surrounding outback. This region is the perfect place to introduce your delegates to the best of Western Australia’s natural beauty.

The township of Esperance is an ideal base from which to explore a string of stunning beaches and the natural wonders on the south coast of Western Australia, including Cape Le Grand National Park, Cape Arid National Park and the paradise islands of the Recherche Archipelago.

GASCOYNE MURCHISON REGION

The Gascoyne Murchison region in Australia’s Golden Outback is characterised by miles of rich red earth, rugged rock formations, vast cattle stations and towns built on the dreams of the wild gold rush era.

Fields of vibrant spring wildflowers are a huge attraction of the Gascoyne Murchison region in Western Australia’s Golden Outback, not to mention the towering monolith of Mount Augustus, the world’s biggest rock, and inspiring self-drive trails, including the Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways. This series of three self-drive trails will open your delegates eyes to the wonders of the landscape and its history and includes the Miners Pathway, Wool Wagon Pathway and Kingsford Smith Mail Run.

On these incredible journeys your delegates can learn about the drovers who first opened up the pastoral lands and the gold prospectors who triggered a population explosion. They’ll also discover the history of transport, the riveting tales of the original traditional custodians and the region’s ancient rock formations.

Australia’s Golden Outback offers accommodation and venue options as diverse as the region is vast.
