The Cook Labor Government is doing what's right for the Peel, with the 2024- 2025 State Budget delivering significant cost of living relief while investing in health facilities and services, housing, quality jobs and targeted training programs.
This Budget delivers measures that will drive regional economic growth, diversify regional economies and create jobs for our kids in the regions.
In addition, $4 billion in Royalties for the Regions funding will go towards projects which enrich regional communities, ensuring they remain great places to live, work and raise a family.
What does that mean to you as a family in Mandurah?
