Every year approximately 1000 not-for-profit groups share in Lotterywest Grants totalling millions of dollars raised from the sale of Lotterywest Games. Lotterywest grants support a variety of projects and organisations that improve the lives of Western Australians. The Hot FM Rural Living Expo is one lucky recipient. RLX2016 has received Lotterywest assistance twice now and our event would not be able to offer as much as it does without this help.
Marradong Country is an economic and strategic alliance between the three neighbouring shires of Boddington, Wandering and Williams. Working together to collectively strengthen their common economic drivers of farming, mining and tourism Marradong Country is an active supporter of the 2015 Rural Living Expo.
The Shire of Boddington has Super Town status and as such is committed to continued growth and sustainability for the vibrant community it serves.

The Boddington Lions Club, in particular 2 of their members, Earl Schreiber and Secretary Stan Sherry have been involved and working with the Rural Living Expo on the 2015 and now the 2016 event. Both men have donated time towards being actively involved in our committee and have also allowed the event to make sure of their outstanding venue, the Boddington Lions Rodeo Grounds. The club will volunteer time in the lead up to the event and on the day of the Expo so please make sure you thank them as you enjoy the Expo.
