Perth’s Industrial Areas: A Guide for Industrial Real Estate
Perth’s light industrial areas are strategically placed throughout the Perth metro to allow businesses to set up their locations near arterial roads that can carry trucks and heavy machinery. In most cases, this means being on the fringe of inner Perth to allow vehicles to quickly get on freeways that will take them to other areas of the state or freight hubs like Fremantle Port, Perth Airport or freight rail terminals.
As industrial property experts located in Perth with more than 35 years of experience, we are well-informed on all of Perth’s industrial areas. Our decades of experience provide us with an in-depth knowledge of Perth’s industrial landscape, allowing us to quickly identify industrial areas and property hot spots beyond what a new industrial property investor would be aware of.
We understand it’s not easy to understand the complex industrial property landscape at first glance, which is why we have prepared this comprehensive guide on Perth’s industrial areas. With this guide, investors looking for a warehouse, factory, workshop or distribution facility, can quickly identify which suburbs may be of interest to them.
To keep things simple, we’ve split Perth into four quadrants. In this guide, updated with the latest 2024 data for use in 2025, we will be taking a look at which suburbs have the most industrial properties to lease and what each location has to offer if you’re looking to distribute or receive goods.
