Perth industrial in numbers
- ~5 million sqm across the metro — #4 AU industrial market
- ~8,000 industrial tenancies spread across ~8 primary submarkets
- ~4% vacancy on Class A, tightening to <2% in Kewdale/Welshpool core
- Average tenancy: 1,500–4,000 sqm (smaller than Sydney/Melbourne averages)
- Industry mix: mining supply chain (~30%), general distribution (~30%), port + 3PL (~20%), heavy industrial/energy (~20%)
Perth is the tightest industrial metro in Australia — the entire primary logistics cluster fits inside a 20 km radius of the airport. That makes same-submarket neighbour prospecting unusually effective here.
The Perth industrial submarkets
Kewdale / Welshpool / Forrestfield (the core)
The heart of Perth industrial. Adjacent to Perth Airport and Forrestfield Intermodal Terminal. Rail-served container freight, national 3PL hubs (Toll, Linfox, Mainfreight), mining services logistics, general distribution. 2,000–15,000 sqm typical unit. Rent premium ~10–15% over outer submarkets.
Malaga (north metro)
Mid-market distribution, trade supply, small-medium manufacturing. 1,000–5,000 sqm dominant unit. Growing e-commerce last-mile and specialty trade-industry warehouse.
Canning Vale (southeast metro)
Mid-market distribution and owner-occupier industrial. Mostly 1,500–6,000 sqm units. Serves southeast Perth suburbs plus regional WA distribution.
Jandakot (airport-adjacent)
Jandakot Airport and adjacent industrial. Light aviation, specialty aerospace, private jet / charter support. Mixed with general mid-market warehouse.
Henderson (defence + shipbuilding)
Australian Marine Complex, Austal, Civmec, BAE, Luerssen. Naval shipbuilding, defence engineering, offshore oil & gas services. Large-format sites, much owner-occupied. $10B+ of federal defence investment flowing through over the next decade.
Kwinana (heavy industrial + refining)
Refining (BP Kwinana), bulk handling, chemicals, heavy manufacturing, bulk commodity export. Long-term ground leases dominate — turnover low but strategic.
Fremantle Port (North Quay + Inner Harbour)
Container port adjacency. 3PL drayage, container freight stations, customs brokers, CFS operators. Tight tenant pool.
Bibra Lake / O'Connor (south coastal)
Mid-market industrial overflow from Henderson/Kwinana. Growing last-mile and trade services.
Why Perth industrial is different from Sydney or Melbourne
- Geographical tightness — 90% of Perth's industrial tenants sit inside a 25 km radius of the airport. Sydney or Melbourne spread much wider.
- Mining supply chain depth — hundreds of specialty industrial tenants servicing Pilbara / Goldfields mines that don't exist in any other AU metro.
- Port dominance — Fremantle and Kwinana together hold a disproportionate share of container and bulk throughput.
- Defence expansion cycle — Henderson's 20-year growth cycle funded by federal navy procurement is unique to Perth.
All of which means Perth neighbour prospecting is both easier (tight geography, tenants rarely cross submarket) and more industry-sensitive (a mining services tenant won't move to a Henderson defence precinct).
What a scan returns
Drop a Perth industrial address. Within two minutes:
- 20–50 neighbouring operators (highest density in Kewdale/Welshpool, thinner in Kwinana owner-occupier areas)
- 4–8 same-building matches in Kewdale/Welshpool/Malaga multi-tenant parks
- Mining services / 3PL / defence / port operators tagged separately where identifiable
- State Manager and Operations Director titles prioritised — the reality of WA branch leasing
- Kewdale operators surfaced first for airport-adjacent scans; Kwinana/Henderson first for heavy industrial scans
How a scan runs
- Drop the listing address (e.g. 165 Abernethy Rd, Kewdale; or 12 Rous Head Pde, North Fremantle)
- Pick 200 m for dense multi-tenant, 375 m for wider coverage (Henderson/Kwinana large sites)
- Wait two minutes
- Review 20–50 operators, industry-tagged, decision-makers verified
- Draft outreach in-app, reveal contacts 1 credit each
