Western Australia E-commerce Information

Further news about the E-commerce Centre web site and any information about its replacement will be listed here. As at 23rd October the site is still up although it has not been updated since 30 Sep.

The following statement was made in the latest newsletter:

1) E-commerce centre to close.
Following the formation of the Department of Industry and Resources (DoIR) in February 2003, rationalisation of a number of Government-managed web sites has been undertaken. As a result, the E-Commerce Centre (ECC) will close on September 30, 2003. Relevant content is being relocated to DoIR's new web site, and links will be published next week.
