Funding of $48 964 was allocated to West Pemberton Avocados during the 2008/09 South West Regional Grants Scheme for electricity upgrade to be undertaken by Western Power. West Pemberton Avocados subsequently withdrew their application on 17 October 2009 following advice from Western Power that there would be no charges for the work involved in the upgrade.
