Royalties for Regions is a political policy formulated by the National Party of Western Australia in 2008 which involves the redirection of Western Australian state government spending from the major population centres, particularly Perth, into the rural areas of the state. This spending would be funded by setting aside 25% of the state's mining and petroleum royalty revenue.〔 〕 Following the 2008 state election, the National Party used its balance of power in the WA parliament to form government with the Liberals led by Colin Barnett, by trading Nationals support in exchange for spending guarantees under the policy. == Main policy features == * 25% of all royalty payments to the state to be set aside for reinvestment into regional WA * Funds to be held in a special investment fund (SIF), capped at AU$1 billion annually * Disbursements from the SIF to be over and above consolidated revenue allocations for the regions * SIF funds to be distributed on an agreed formula to: * * Regional councils for local projects; * * Regional projects developed and prioritised with the involvement of Regional Organisations of Councils and Regional Development Commissions; * * Statewide projects developed and prioritised by the Regional Development Council; and * * State Government initiatives that boost and leverage regional growth and investment, 〔 In 2006-07, the state received royalties totalling $2.1 billion (2007-08 forecast:$2.5 billion, 2008-09:$2.7 billion).
