The WDC is central to the implementation of innovative and strategic regional development initiatives in the West. We work with local, regional and national bodies to optimise economic and social development in our region.

As a publicly funded body, one of the WDC's key roles is to make sure that public investment in the development of the Western Region is effective and that it brings both a regional and a national dividend.

A confident and ambitious Western Region where excellence, innovation and creativity are rewarded, and the rich quality of life, clean environment and unique heritage are valued and safeguarded.

The WDC Investment Fund (WDIF) plays a unique role in funding businesses, community initiatives and 'flagship' projects in the Western Region. It invests directly in sustainable projects, many of which may be experiencing a funding gap.
