The South West Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Hub (AMTECH) is seeking an anchor tenant to operate at its Picton site.
A Request for Proposal is now open, with the WA Government inviting businesses and organisations to submit their proposals to establish and operate a new advanced manufacturing facility.
The Government has committed $55 million towards land activation and establishment of a manufacturing facility, with works now underway.
The Government says AMTECH is set to support the continued growth of advanced manufacturing in Western Australia, along with diversifying the South West economy and opening new opportunities for the region.
“The Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Hub will transform the South West manufacturing industry and now is the time for businesses who want to take a major role as the anchor tenant to come on board,” said WA Manufacturing Minister, Amber-Jade Sanderson.
The anchor tenant will work closely with the State to manufacture the parts needed to support the energy transition away from State-owned coal by 2030.
“The South West has a proud manufacturing history, and AMTECH will help build on that legacy by creating new jobs, attracting businesses, and growing the local economy,” said South West Minister, Don Punch.
“By attracting an anchor tenant to AMTECH, we’re helping ensure the South West remains a great place to work, invest, and build a career in advanced manufacturing.”
Construction will be overseen by DevelopmentWA and the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification will execute the search for an anchor tenant.
