Forrestdale Business Park
Forrestdale Business Park (FBP) is emerging as the most significant industrial hub in Perth’s south-east and is an important employment area for the growing population, attracting investment from major corporations. The area is expected to accommodate up to 700 industrial lots, which could create more than 15,000 jobs.
Strategically bounded by three major arterial roads (Tonkin Highway, Armadale Road and Ranford Road), FBP provides an ideal base for businesses looking for easy access to the airports, ports and other major road transport routes. Comprising of two areas, East (190 hectares) and West (178 hectares), FBP is providing businesses with the opportunity to build, relocate or consolidate their operations into a high-quality industrial environment.
With a diverse array of lot sizes, FBP can accommodate a range of commercial, mixed business industrial enterprise and general industry activity. FBP (West) also provides High Wide Load accessibility throughout the precinct to accommodate heavy haulage vehicles.
Planning authority for FBP East has been transferred back to the City, whilst FBP West is still under the control of DevelopmentWA, the State Government’s central development agency, as part of the Armadale Redevelopment Project.
The recent realignment of Ayres Road (formally Anstey Road), together with the upgrade and realignment of Ranford and MacFarlane Roads (formerly Keane Road), has helped to deliver critical road and service infrastructure to support industrial development within the Estate. The road works formed part of the State Government’s $27 million investment in the Forrestdale Business Park West Development Contribution Plan.
Located within FBP West, Crossroads Industrial is DevelopmentWA's latest metropolitan industrial estate and the first delivered in the South-East corridor as part of the State Government's Economic and Employment Lands Strategy.
Doobarda Business Park (Rowley Road)
The suburb of Doobarda was established in 2023 as a new, separate industrial area, with advantages including proximity to freight network connections linking with the new Outer Harbour, Western Trade Coast, and the Kewdale and West Mundijong intermodal transfer facilities.
South Armadale
The South Armadale Industrial Area commenced development in the early 1970’s. A large amount of infill development and redevelopment of existing sites has occurred recently, which has revitalised the area through the construction of new attractive modern industrial buildings, upgrades of existing buildings and enhanced landscaping.
The area has strategic transport linkages, adjacent to South Western Highway with easy access to the Albany and Tonkin Highways and Armadale railway line.
The South Armadale Industrial Area is a long-term strategic land bank with potential for future uses with access to a ready-made workforce.
