The Panel consists of representatives from State Government agencies including the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI), and the Department of Communities.
Outcome
Applications are deemed either successful, unsuccessful, or unsuccessful (reserve list). DTMI will notify applicants of the outcome of their application, via email and the Transport WA Grants system.
