Successful Regional Economic Development Grant Submission

THE NEED FOR NEW INFRASTRUCTURE

Evoke Living Homes was experiencing costly production delays and capacity constraints due to exposure to unpredictable weather conditions. Additionally, this was exacerbated by an inconsistent labour supply, with dependency on contractor support.

Consequently, these factors were hindering their ability to meet a critical need for new housing supply. To address this challenge, they required a purpose-built undercover facility. This would allow them to construct homes in all weather conditions.

Additionally, it would support the reduction of production delays, and de-centralise the manufacturing of materials from Perth to Northam.

ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT SCOPE AND STRENGTH

Evoke approached BlueSalt Consulting to craft their Regional Economic Development grant proposal. Our grant writing team met with management staff to get a firm handle on the background, context, project scope and how well their proposal fit with the grant objectives.

Following this, our team assessed this project as being eligible and highly competitive. However, we did determine that they were in need of a well-considered project plan and a business plan. This was critical to communicate Evoke’s vision, prove business viability, and demonstrate a sound understanding of the market. This would be important in strengthening their case for funding.
