The KIC was incorporated in 1991 with the primary goals of:

What We Do

We are a dedicated team, overseen by a board of high-level industry leaders, who provide a strong, trusted and credible voice for local industry.

We stand up for local industry on the issues that matter; facilitate events to connect, inform and share knowledge; and deliver essential services to make it easier to do business.

Advocate for members

We provide a strong, trusted and credible voice on behalf of members to key stakeholders, such as state and federal governments, on issues of critical importance to local industry. Key issues include planning and land use; infrastructure such as roads, rail, port; future industrial land availability; excessive red tape; and skills and labour. KIC has strong relationships and networks which we use to make it easier to invest and do business across the Western Trade Coast.

Promote Industry

KIC works to raise the profile and reputation of the Kwinana Industrial Area on behalf of its members. We highlight the importance of local industry to the economy, our community, and our everyday way of life. Promoting industry within the Western Trade Coast assists with securing the support of government on our key issues. KIC also actively works on attracting new industry to the area by promoting the benefits of being located in the area.

Support Industry

KIC manages and delivers a range of support services and programs for members and the local community such as air quality monitoring, environmental management, education and training programs, and networking and events to connect local industry. These activities help industry stay up to date with current and emerging issues and make it easier to do business.
