Market-led Proposals - Government Priorities and Exclusions

To meet the scope of the MLP Policy, proponents must clearly articulate a strong alignment to the priorities of the Government and demonstrate the level of impact the proposal will achieve to assist priorities.
Last updated:

To help you understand any types of proposals or solutions that we would not consider a priority, specific exclusions will be published. These are additional to the exclusions listed in the MLP Policy and MLP Supplementary Guidelines.

Current priorities

Proposals will be assessed in terms of their ability to quickly stimulate the economy, create jobs and deliver long term value and employment opportunities for the WA community.   Proposals must demonstrate a clear and explicit value proposition to government.

Current focus areas for the Government are:

  • maximising value from State assets, including underutilised land assets
  • supporting the State’s Social Housing initiatives 
  • projects creating significant local employment opportunities that do not negatively impact the current budget cycle
  • innovations to enhance major transport infrastructure.

Current exclusions

To help you understand our priorities, listed exclusions that will not be considered under the MLP Policy include those that:

  • require unallocated funding within the next 24 months. These proposals will not generally be supported unless they can demonstrate significant return to the State
  • are dealt with by an existing government process that is underway
  • seek to obtain industry assistance and other grants currently available and considered through existing programs
  • relate to a project or program that government has already decided and/or announced will be released to the market
  • are not required to be subjected to a competitive procurement process
  • have a total estimated value below the threshold that would require a competitive procurement process (as specified in WA Government policy and/or legislation)
  • do not meet our current priorities
  • lack structure and sufficient supporting information.

From time to time, we will invite industry to propose innovative solutions to specific Problem and Opportunity Statements. These opportunities will be published on this webpage.
