Coal had big future

Collie coal producers Wesfarmers Premier Coal and Griffin welcomed a 2003 State Government acknowlegement by then-State Energy Minister Eric Ripper that coal was likely to remain a longterm source of domestic energy in WA. This news came despite the increased use of natural gas in the generation of power.

Plan to curb SW suicide rates

Increasing suicide rates in the South West and a difficulty in attracting mental health professionals to regional areas prompted the State Government to set up a new service to give desperate people "somewhere to turn."

The free and confidential 24-hour telephone service was the first of its kind in WA.

Community rallied

for injured Perry Collie's fundraising benefit in support of injured former local football player Perry Green raised at least $14,500.

As well as auctions of donated goods and football memorabilia, football clubs from Perth, the eastern states and big national companies also donated money or goods in support.

Bunbury meet a life-line for local racing?

The Collie Race Club hoped a special arrangement, under which it staged a race meeting in Bunbury in March, 2003, would help raise funds for a mandated upgrade to the Collie racecourse. Without the mandated upgrade to the racecourse, racing in Collie would not be able to continue.

Government launched tree farm lure

Collie land-owners were told they could benefit from a State Government commercial tree-farming package. Farmers could earn up to $950 per hectare depending on soil type and quality. The package was introduced in 2003 to combat salinity and put more money in farmers' pockets.
