The Department of Industry and Resources plays a marketing role in raising awareness of Western Australia's existing and emerging Technology Park environments that support the emergence of technology based industries.
Recent activities planned and underway to promote Technology Park related initiatives are as follows:
Technology Precinct, Bentley
The State Government has provided $8.55M as Stage 1 for public infrastructure and other services to expand Technology Park and create a wider area of 314 hectares to be known as the Technology Precinct, Bentley.
The Department of Housing and Works has recently procured the services of a professional community services provider to work closely with the community and stakeholders to ensure that the public has the opportunity to provide for input into the Technology Precinct Masterplan and is aware of initiatives planned for the development. The outcome of the master planning process will influence future marketing plans.
Technology Park
Technology Park Bentley is promoted on an ongoing basis, as well as the technology capabilities; success stories and innovative activity taking place within the Park. The Department of Industry and Resources promotes the park and capabilities at the local and international level through an integrated marketing mix utilising online and offline mediums through an integrated marketing mix comprising online and offline media. Examples include website; electronic newsletter; brochures; posters; information kits, newspaper and magazine editorials; cds, tenant directories; exhibitions; displays and networking.
Australian Marine Complex Technology Precinct
Construction of the Central Services Facility is underway and DoIR has commenced promotion to raise interest in regard to tenancy options for office; innovation and business support and retail services as stage one is due for completion in late 2007. DoIR continues to receive interest from technology based organisations interested in locating to the AMC Technology Precinct development. The Department is assessing these organisations in regard to land and office needs in order to ensure that sufficient land is made available to allow co-location.
Regional Technology Parks
The department is providing $18,000 towards a market research study of the Peel region to identify industry strengths and the feasibility of establishing a technology park/hub that supports the emergence of technologies based on the strengths of the region.
