Bunbury Outer Ring Road

South West Gateway Alliance (SWGA), in partnership with Main Roads WA, is delivering the transformational infrastructure project, Bunbury Outer Ring Road (BORR). This $1.25 billion project will provide significant benefits to the region, including road safety, freight efficiency and improved access to the local port and the South West region. The project is also enabling an investment in the ongoing legacy of the local region through the creation of local jobs, business opportunities and support for ongoing local economic growth.

The project’s key initiative is the implementation of an industry sustainability employment program designed to ensure long term employment opportunities for defined demographics, including Aboriginal people, female workers, mature jobseekers (45+), young jobseekers (16-24) and trainees. SWGA has worked closely with key industry partners to identify the needs of and support entry level employment for jobseekers who are new to the industry, as well as meet the key result areas of the project, including Aboriginal participation and employment, including traineeships.
