The fourth round of successful Regional Economic Development (RED) Grants were announced 14 December 2021 for the Peel region by the Minister for Regional Development, the Hon. Alannah MacTiernan. Six projects will share in $780,000 in Round 4 grants to support business expansion, increased production capability, agri-food innovation and export opportunities in the region.
The projects include;
| Applicant | Project | Funding |
| Caravan King | Design and construct new production facility to service demands within the Peel for caravan and motorhome maintenance, repair and upgrade. The company has long-term plans to manufacture caravans from their site, this expansion is a stepping stone towards that ambition. | $160,000 |
| Spinifex Brewing Co | Spinifex Brewing Co will establish a production brewery within the WA Food Innovation Precinct. The purpose of the grant is to purchase and install a canning line within the Spinifex production brewery.

| Eden Towers | Establish a solar-powered vertical farm in the Peel Business Park (a first for Australia) with significant benefits to the Growing Bush Foods program and other product development / growing opportunities. The Growing Bush Foods project will explore the over 6,000 different varieties of bush foods and see which of these grow best in a vertical farm environment. Once the right crops are selected, they will be developed into commercial products either through direct sales for edible products, downstream processing for commercial uses, support reforestation or explore other uses. The ultimate goal being the establishment of new/different product segment into a growing bush food market. |
