Business Investment Opportunities in the Rapidly Growing Southern South-East Corridor 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. “...an attractive business investment destination...” 2 Business Investment Opportunities in the Rapidly Growing Southern South-East 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.
