About the ras
The Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia (The RAS) is a not-for-profit apolitical organisation based in Perth, WA. With the support of its members, The RAS's role is to promote the significance of rural Western Australia and the state's primary industries.
Working to help 'bridge the gap' between city and country WA, the Society's activities are focused on showcasing the many and varied achievements of rural Western Australia. Since the founding of the Society in 1831, The RAS has successfully encouraged and assisted the development of Western Australian resources - including agricultural, horticultural, viticultural, industrial, rural, technological, commercial and mineral resources.
Operating under the Royal Agricultural Society Act, the Society plays a key role in agricultural shows and rural events around the State. The RAS is also responsible for the organisation and management of Western Australia's largest annual community event, the Perth Royal Show. Like no other event, the Perth Royal Show is a show for the people - a great example of how The RAS serves the community and achieves its mission objectives.
