Brand — what Growing Australia delivers

Member for Brand: Madeleine King (Australian Labor Party) · Western Australia

The Kwinana Growth Precinct sits inside Brand — $4.6B of platform investment, 5,400 direct jobs, with the government building the solar, the industrial estate, the CSIRO research lab and the TAFE training campus, while private operators take the leases and create the manufacturing jobs. Kwinana produces Battery electrolyte, sovereign LFP cell line, semiconductor packaging & testing clean rooms, agricultural chemicals, industrial gases.

Beyond the precinct network, Brand also benefits from the national programs the plan funds. The 2026–27 Budget provides $3.2 billion for a government-controlled reserve of one billion litres of diesel, jet fuel and petrol, alongside Australia's existing commercial stocks. Growing Australia proposes successive reserve tranches and sovereign production behind them. Growth Precinct power would support industrial production and grid resilience, with final project prices determined through detailed design and procurement.

Growing Australia is a long-term, public-domain investment platform with a central concept-stage estimate of $201.4 billion. The complete register contains 53 investments across six national priorities and is designed to be delivered gradually. Brand's share is not a guaranteed allocation: it is the set of proposed precinct, state and national investments relevant to the electorate, each of which would require its own delivery and budget decisions.
