About

Collie, long recognised as the centre of Western Australia’s electricity generation, is evolving from its coal-mining legacy into a modern hub for low-carbon industries.  

For generations, the town of Collie in our South West has powered Western Australian homes and industries, while contributing to the State’s growth and economic success.  

Today, Collie is writing a new chapter, transforming into a hub for innovation, clean energy and sustainable development through a Just Transition, while creating opportunities for businesses and communities to thrive. 

Backed by nearly $700 million in State Government investment and strong community support, the town and Government’s commitment to a Just Transition for Collie offers a unique ecosystem for companies aligned with Western Australia’s economic transformation into a renewable energy superpower.

To accelerate Collie’s industry transition the WA Government is seeking projects in four high growth sectors, green manufacturing, minerals processing, industries requiring renewable energy and clean energy industries.
