Perth’s Industrial Property Market in 2025: Growth, Infrastructure, and Strategic Opportunity

Perth’s industrial market is evolving fast. What was once a steady, resource-driven sector is now undergoing transformation fuelled by logistics demand, infrastructure investment, population growth, and innovation. In 2025, the future of industrial property in Perth is not just strong—it’s strategic.

With limited supply of serviced land, an influx of infrastructure projects, and rising investor interest, the market is presenting opportunities for those ready to act. This article explores the factors shaping Perth’s industrial property future—and how to position assets for the next phase of growth.

Industrial demand outpaces supply

Perth’s industrial sector is leading the city’s commercial real estate performance. It’s now seen as the most resilient asset class, with strong leasing conditions, limited vacancy, and rising land values.

• Vacancy rates across key industrial hubs remain below 2%

• Median land values have increased more than 10% year-on-year

• Rents for prime industrial stock continue to climb, with limited incentives

• Owner-occupiers and investors are actively competing for the same stock

Much of the demand is being driven by logistics and manufacturing tenants looking for scalable, well-located space—while the current supply pipeline remains constrained.

Major infrastructure is unlocking new industrial zones

State and private sector investment is opening up new corridors for industrial growth. These strategic projects are changing how freight, logistics, and manufacturing businesses plan their future footprint in WA.

• EastLink WA will improve east-west freight flows and open land opportunities along the corridor

• The Outer Harbour Project in Kwinana is set to dramatically increase port capacity, with flow-on effects for transport and logistics users

• Metronet rail expansion and road upgrades are improving connectivity for industrial zones on the city fringe

• Industrial power upgrades in areas like Neerabup and Muchea are enabling heavier-use industrial operations

These developments are not only increasing accessibility but also lifting the long-term investment profile of surrounding land.

Growth corridors driving decentralisation

Perth’s traditional industrial strongholds—like Welshpool and Kewdale—remain high-demand zones, but land scarcity and price pressures are pushing development into new areas.

• North of Perth: Zones like Neerabup, Gnangara, and Bullsbrook are seeing major take-up due to access to Tonkin Highway and land availability

• South-west corridor: Kwinana, Rockingham and Latitude 32 continue to attract manufacturing, marine, and energy-related industries

• Eastern zones: Hazelmere and Forrestfield are expanding thanks to new freight rail infrastructure and proximity to the airport

• South-east: Forrestdale Business Park is a key success story with strong absorption from both local and national logistics operators

These decentralised zones are being supported by upgraded infrastructure and a planning push to unlock serviced land for industry.

Strategic advantages for owner-occupiers and investors

Unlike some eastern states, Perth’s industrial market still offers accessible pricing and future upside. For both owner-occupiers and institutional investors, Perth presents a rare combination of value and growth potential.

• Land values are still competitive relative to Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne

• Lower initial investment can deliver higher percentage returns

• Tenants in logistics, construction, and energy are signing longer leases

• Perth’s role in national supply chains is becoming more significant post-COVID

Whether you’re seeking to buy land for development or purchase existing built-form assets, Perth’s industrial zones offer room to grow—literally and financially.

Technology, ESG, and tenant expectations are shifting the market

The industrial asset of 2025 looks very different from one built 20 years ago. Sustainability, automation, and efficient design are now key decision factors for tenants and buyers alike.

• Warehouses are being designed with renewable energy and solar-ready roofing

• Tenants expect energy-efficient HVAC, LED lighting, and water recycling options

• Automation, robotics, and high-clearance racking require specialised building designs

• ESG-conscious investors are favouring assets with lower environmental impact

Developers and sellers who can offer future-ready industrial product will stand out in an increasingly savvy market.

Industrial land scarcity is driving value

The lack of shovel-ready industrial land is one of the biggest issues facing Perth’s future growth. Planning approval delays, servicing requirements, and fragmented land ownership have all contributed to constraints.

• Zoned, serviced land is commanding strong premiums in fringe areas

• Buyers are moving quickly on quality lots before completion

• Land banking for future use is becoming a common strategy

• Vendors with developable land can achieve significant uplift by undertaking subdivision or design and construct packaging

For those holding land in key growth corridors, now may be the time to unlock its full potential.
