1. prioritising the finalisation of land assembly, approvals, development contribution arrangements in precincts with fragmented land ownership and other preparatory works, as recommended in the Industrial Lands Strategy
2. applying existing state land-use planning system tools, such as improvement schemes and redevelopment schemes, in a more consistent and proactive manner to industrial and technological precincts of highest priority to the state
3. consistent with Recommendation 40 in the Infrastructure delivery chapter, establishing an assessment process for the funding of strategic enabling infrastructure that facilitates private investment
4. planning for the long-term land needs throughout the state, with a priority focus on additional heavy industrial land in the Perth metropolitan area, and completing investigations into the South West Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Hub.
