debate centers on improving Bunbury facilities for exporting fruit wheat and other produce. Supporters argue Bunbury should be the natural west coast outlet with better handling for coal and a modern railway to connect Waginn Wickerpen Narrogin and the rich wheat belt. They urge government action to fund port and rail upgrades to boost Western Australian trade.
