The Great Southern Development Commission's role is to help our community grow, develop and take advantage of the benefits our region has to offer including its enviable lifestyle, natural landscapes and thriving economy.
What We Do
GSDC work for the Great Southern region stretching from the northern shires of Woodanilling and Kent to the South Coast, and from Nornalup in the west, to the Fitzgerald River National Park in the east.
The Board of Management is GSDC’s governing body, and meets regularly to set policy direction, approve major expenditure and provide advice to the Minister on regional matters.
The Great Southern regional snapshots consolidate key economic data about the region, from industry and employment to population and investment trends, in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
Our Region
The Great Southern is one of nine regions in Western Australia, taking in several hundred kilometres of the State’s pristine southern coastline. Our region’s geography includes ancient mountain ranges, deep forests, productive farmland, and breathtaking coastal scenery.
