Perth’s Growing Industrial Corridors: Location, Logistics and Long-Term Opportunity

As demand for logistics, warehousing and manufacturing space accelerates across Western Australia, Perth’s industrial corridors are expanding fast. Once confined to traditional hubs like Welshpool and Kewdale, the city’s industrial footprint is now stretching north, south, and east—unlocking opportunity in areas with better access, infrastructure, and development-ready land.

In 2025, these corridors are not only driving local industry—they’re shaping the future of commercial investment in WA.

The north: Tonkin Highway and Muchea link the next frontier

Perth’s northern corridor has emerged as a strategic growth zone, driven by proximity to Tonkin Highway, Perth-Darwin National Highway, and key freight routes.

• Muchea Industrial Park offering large-format sites for logistics and heavy transport

• Neerabup and Gnangara attracting medium-sized warehousing and trades-based tenants

• Proximity to northern resource routes and intermodal connections

• Land availability and lot sizes suited to custom-built facilities

The northern corridor is quickly becoming a key area for freight, distribution and long-haul logistics users needing access to major national routes.

The east: Forrestfield and Hazelmere stay strong

The eastern corridor continues to attract tenants needing proximity to the airport, intermodal terminals and the foothills transport network.

• Forrestfield’s Intermodal Terminal drives logistics and container handling demand

• Hazelmere remains tightly held with limited vacancy in premium stock

• Proximity to Roe and Tonkin Highways offers seamless metro distribution

• Significant upgrades to road infrastructure improving vehicle flow

This corridor suits freight-forwarding, e-commerce warehousing, and industrial storage businesses requiring metro-wide reach.

The south: Kwinana, Rockingham and Latitude 32 expanding fast

Perth’s southern industrial corridor is backed by heavy infrastructure, energy, and defence investment. It’s one of the fastest growing industrial regions in WA.

• Kwinana’s industrial area continues to grow with support from the Outer Harbour project

• Latitude 32 provides large, affordable land zoned for heavy and strategic industry

• Rockingham attracting defence, marine, and fabrication tenants

• Energy and waste facilities creating long-term industrial support demand

Access to port infrastructure, industrial power, and national defence contracts make this a key location for long-term investment and industrial development.

Inner metro remains constrained

Traditional industrial hubs like Welshpool, Kewdale and Belmont still command high demand—but they face constraints.

• Low land availability and rising prices limit new supply

• Older building stock often requires significant upgrades

• High competition for leasing, especially for modern warehouse space

• Owner-occupiers often dominate over investors due to low churn

These areas remain blue-chip for location but are less accessible for new or expanding operators looking for scale.

What’s driving corridor growth?

Several core factors are driving the outward expansion of Perth’s industrial zones:

• Demand for larger, more efficient sites with better truck access

• Scarcity and cost of inner-metro land pushing businesses outward

• Infrastructure upgrades making fringe zones more viable

• Planning policy supporting decentralised industrial growth

• Investor appetite for land-rich assets with long-term upside

These trends are changing the map of where and how industrial business operates in Perth.

Key opportunities for owners and developers

Understanding Perth’s corridor growth helps identify where the best opportunities lie—for both current landholders and future developers.

• Holders of land in fringe zones can capitalise on rising demand

• Subdivision and staged D&C packages can accelerate take-up

• Industrial land marketing requires strong transport-led messaging

• Zoned and serviced land is moving fast—timing is key

Corridor positioning is no longer a compromise—it’s a strategy.
