Have your say to help shape the WA 2029 Bicentenary planning!

📢𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟗 𝐁𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

2029 will mark 200 years since the establishment of the Swan River Colony, a significant milestone in the State’s history but not the beginning of its story.

As the Bicentenary approaches, Western Australians have the opportunity to reflect on our collective history, define what makes our State so unique today and consider the future we aspire to.

Your feedback will help inform an inclusive and respectful statewide program of Bicentenary initiatives leading into, throughout, and beyond 2029.
