Business Investment Opportunities in the Rapidly Growing Southern South-East Corridor

2

“...an attractive business investment destination...”

Introduction to the South-East Corridor

The Southern South-East (SE) Corridor of metropolitan Perth has an area of 1577km2 comprising of three local governments – the Cities of Armadale and Gosnells and the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale. These local governments together form a vibrant and rapidly developing area close to Perth’s CBD. The corridor is well served by an integrated public transport system and regional roads, with a major activity centre located in Armadale. The corridor’s expanding population and available land offer exciting options for a wide range of business.

Figure 1: Local demand industry sectors in the southern SE corridor.


Due to its location and rapid growth, the Southern SE Corridor presents an attractive business investment destination, which offers:

© Strategic proximity to integrated public transport and road infrastructure

© A skilled and readily available workforce

© Strong established industries relating to construction, manufacturing, retail trade and health care / social assistance

© Developable land for new businesses in strategic locations

This document outlines the specific business investment opportunities in the Southern SE Corridor with the aim of attracting investment to this region.

Population and Growth

The population of the Southern SE Corridor in 2011 was 186,627 (national census data), representing 11% of the Perth metropolitan area’s total population. The population is projected to grow by more than two-thirds by 2031. This would see its population increase to more than 330,000, which would then represent 15% of the metropolitan area’s population.

The Corridor has a number of rapidly developing urban areas such as Canning Vale, Southern River, Harrisdale, Piara Waters, Forrestdale, Haynes, Hilbert, Wungong and Byford. Large rural areas in the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, City of Armadale and in the south of the City of Gosnells, balance out the urban areas and provide diverse lifestyle and recreation opportunities.

Industry Opportunity

The major industries currently operating in the corridor are Construction, and Manufacturing. However, there are significant demands and opportunities in the sectors of Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, Retail Trade and Wholesale Trade sectors.

There are many developed industrial areas, as well as significant opportunities for the development of new large industrial and commercial estates and premises. The land availability strongly aligns with the demand sectors and provide potential investors with a range of investment options.

Summary6 Reasons to Invest in the Southern South-East Corridor

Rapidly growing corridorWith a population of nearly 200,000 people, and growing, the corridor provides prospective business owners with a strong consumer base.

Ready - made workforceA growing population and a relatively young population, means there is a ready-made workforce in the area. This will mean new businesses will easily find locally skilled employees.

Major industrial and commercial opportunitiesAs the corridor is growing it has the land available for many new commercial and industrial precinct opportunities. The corridor also has a number of developed commercial and industrial areas that have readily available land.

Town Centre small business and commercial opportunitiesThe Armadale Strategic Regional Centre and Gosnells town centre both consist of ready-made small business opportunities. Whilst the redevelopment of Byford and Maddington town centres will provide some new and unique opportunities in the future.

Competitive commercial land pricesComparative to other local government areas the land prices in the corridor are growing from a much lower base providing excellent opportunities to a wider range of potential business owners.

Lifestyle living – thriving urban town centres and gateway to the foothillsBig community events are rapidly growing in the corridor, with many in the surrounding town centres. These events are great for families. The corridor also has easy access to the Darling Ranges.
