Premier’s Address 2025

Committee for Perth is pleased to present the Premier’s Address 2025 with the Hon. Roger Cook MLA, Premier of Western Australia, on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, at Commonwealth Bank.

At this year’s Address, the Premier will provide a candid reflection on 2025 — the challenges faced, milestones achieved, and the opportunities that lie ahead for the greater Perth region.

Central to his remarks will be an update on the Government’s strategy to diversify Western Australia’s economy, ensuring it remains the strongest in the nation. This will include new initiatives focused on Perth and WA becoming a global leader in investment attraction, industry facilitation and regulation, as well as the government’s strategies for becoming a renewable energy powerhouse, securing water future in a drying climate, making more things in Perth and WA, and continuing to develop a skilled and adapable workforce. The Premier will also share his views on fostering a vibrant and creative economy.

This year’s Address builds on the momentum of Committee for Perth’s landmark event 2050 Summit: Championing a Plan for Perth, providing members with the opportunity to hear first-hand how the Government is engaging with its outcomes to shape a plan for Perth’s future.

Join us for this important opportunity to hear directly from the Premier, strengthen the partnership between government and business, and gain valuable insights into WA’s economic outlook.
