DEFENCE BY STATE 41
LEFT: The City of Rockingham is just 4km from HMAS Stirling.
“HMAS Stirling is undergoing a $1 billion expansion to accommodate the facilities and personnel needed for the coming Arafura Class Offshore Patrol Vessels, Hunter Class Frigates and fu- ture submarines,” City of Rockingham CEO Michael Parker said.
“With data from the National In- stitute of Economic and Industry Re- search showing the Rockingham re- gion provides more than half of WA’s employment, output and exports for the Defence sector, it’s a great time for businesses to take advantage of Rockingham’s growing strategic im- portance to Defence.”
Rockingham is also strategically located to benefit from opportunities arising with the State’s planned West- port Outer Harbour.
