The Western Australian Government is calling for Expressions of Interest for up to three community organisations to join the WA 2029 Bicentenary Planning Advisory Group.
What is the WA 2029 Bicentenary?
The 2029 Bicentenary will mark 200 years since the establishment of the Swan River Colony. This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on Western Australia’s history, honour the diversity of our communities, and look forward to a future grounded in truth-telling, reconciliation, and unity.
What will the Planning Advisory Group do?
The Planning Advisory Group will help shape a respectful and inclusive Bicentenary, ensuring that diverse voices and communities are represented throughout the planning process to help develop themes and approaches for the occasion.
Successful organisations will receive a grant to deliver large-scale stakeholder engagement across Western Australia throughout 2026 and provide recommendations to the WA Government.
Who should apply?
Organisations with community reach, strong cultural governance, and proven experience in inclusive engagement – especially those with connections to regional, remote, First Nations, and multicultural communities – are encouraged to apply.

To apply, please download the Expressions of Interest (EOI) document, complete Part 3: Response Form, and email to 2029@dpc.wa.gov.au.
