WA budget 2023: Unpacking what's in Mark McGowan's latest bumper budget, as it happened

ABC  

By ABC South West reporter Georgia Loney One of the bigger announcements in the budget was $2.3 billion for what the State Government says will be one of the world's largest batteries in the southern WA town of Collie. Shire President Sarah Stanley says she's been told the battery will be installed on the same industrial estate as the coal-fired Collie power station, which is set to be retired by 2030. Ms Stanley says she understands the battery will be owned and operated by WA's state-owned energy retailer, not the private market. "It'll be done in two stages, it's a Synergy owned big battery system, they'll be installing it and operating it,” she said.
