The WA Trading Tracks (WATT) pilot program -

funded by the Local Buying Foundation (LBF) and BHP, and delivered by Indigenous Management Group and Charity (IMG)

has now concluded.

Over the past two years, WATT supported Indigenous businesses across the Shire of East Pilbara and the Town of Port Hedland through tailored business services, advisory support, and capacity building. The program helped strengthen many emerging and established businesses.

IMG continues to operate as usual, delivering advisory and support services to Traditional Owner and Indigenous businesses. With new projects already underway, IMG remains committed to creating opportunities and building capacity as part of its long-standing role in advancing Indigenous economic development.

The Local Buying Foundation will continue to explore opportunities to support Indigenous and local businesses through its targeted funding programs.

We sincerely thank all participants, partners, and community members who contributed to the WA Trading Tracks pilot program and acknowledge the achievements made together.
