Web links to outback

A NEW community website program will help twenty regional community groups develop a website to allow for greater communication between members.

Portal site BUSHnet was launched in March as part of the Progress Rural WA project, a plan to invest $10 million in rural WA.

Primary Industry Minister Monty House said the groups would be offered guidance and funding of up to $5,000 to develop a website to use as a communication tool.

He said ideal funding candidates would be those with a geographically diverse membership and a genuine community message to deliver.
