It is impossible to provide an accurate answer for what funds, projects and works across Government have occurred in specific electorates. While some projects are location specific, many are not, let alone that departmental reporting systems are not designed to provide electorate level breakdowns.
That being said, the McGowan Labor Government took to the 2017 Election a comprehensive Plan for Peel. A range of commitments from that plan have already been implement and the Government looks forward to delivering the rest.
I also note than under the previous Barnett Liberal Government for which the member for Dawesville was a staff member, the Peel region was consistently disadvantaged by the distribution of Royalties for Regions funding, a breakdown of which can be found below. The McGowan Labor Government will work towards a fairer allocation of Royalties for Regions as it re-prioritises the program towards job-creating programs, to boost employment throughout the Peel and the rest of Western Australia.
