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.

Another fabulous & poignant FB mem from 2017 - set a date in your diary for the biggest party of the past 200 years ….. eight Prime Ministers, six Premiers, multiple Cabinet Ministers, multiple Mayors & Councils, business, industry, community, unions, academia & the media, have all known this was coming for 29 years (so far) - how AUKUS is that going to be.

West Australian - 14 Aug 2017 p16 - WA has to start planning for infrastructure needs of 2029, and for any good party, you need to start planning well in advance for it to be one to remember ... in that spirit, The West Australian - thewest.com.au has launched 'Towards 200 Years', a week-long series looking to our fast-approaching bicentenary, while kick-starting discussions on what kind of society we aim to become beyond that - WA faces significant challenges in coming years ... future population growth, access to water and the construction of effective transport systems as urban sprawl continues.
