Western Australia's screen industry has the potential to triple in size across the next three years, provided it has the supporting infrastructure and crew available, according to Screenwest.
Ahead of the state election in March, the Western Australian government has committed to launch a $20 million production attraction fund and to develop a $100 million studio and sound stage in Fremantle.
Former Screenwest head of development and production Rikki Lea Bestall will return to the organisation as its new CEO, succeeding Willie Rowe.
Balancing production with border uncertainty will be a key challenge for Western Australia's screen industry heading into 2022, according to Screenwest CEO Rikki Lea Bestall.
