Growth in WA’s gross state product has consistently outperformed the Australian GDP, and with the exception of 2015/16 where state and national forecasts are on par, WA is anticipated to continue to have higher percentage growth than GDP through to 2016/17. And news in the mining sector is not all bad; in the six months to April 2014 six projects in WA worth a combined $11.97 billion were progressed to the Committed Stage on the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics (BREE) major projects list, the largest of which being Hancock Prospecting’s Roy Hill mine at $10.70 billion in value. It is anticipated that the majority of these committed projects will move into the operations phase by the 2018/19 financial year. Western Australia also continues to have strong market fundamentals with the highest population growth in the country (2.5 percent to Australia’s 1.7 percent), and the second lowest unemployment rate behind the Northern Territory (4.8 percent to Australia’s 6.0 percent. Perth’s population growth is predicted to remain robust, with the city’s population forecast to overtake that of Brisbane within the next 15 years to become Australia’s third largest city. In recent years Perth has seen the commitment by the WA State Government to a number of infrastructure projects around the city; the new Elizabeth Quay development and the Perth City Link have added further momentum to the Perth market, as well as the Gateway WA Perth Airport and Freight Access project, and the Perth-Darwin Highway. The volume of new development and infrastructure projects underway shows that Perth is well on the way to becoming a true international city, right on the doorstep to Asia. The top sale in the past 12 months was the $70.50m sale of 2 Bannister Rd in Canning Vale Savills Research Industrial leasing activity over the previous year has been rather subdued compared with historical levels; 143,877 square metres of industrial space was recorded leased in the 12 months to September 2014 in the Perth metropolitan area. Sales for the period for also below historical levels, with $435 million worth of transactions recorded for the period.

Within metropolitan Perth, a number of key projects are also active, such as the Perth Airport Redevelopment project, the Perth City Link project and the Elizabeth Quay project. These projects all aim to support future population growth and development of the city. Another significant infrastructure project in the pipeline is the proposed Perth-Darwin Highway. Once this project goes ahead it will open up a whole new industrial precinct through the Bullsbrook area, which is likely to be favoured by transport and logistics companies. The other infrastructure project significant to the industrial sector is the $1 billion Gateway WA Perth Airport and Freight Access Project, currently under construction and due for completion in 2017. savills.com.au/research 3 Savills Research | Perth Industrial October 2014 Leasing Activity The total level of vacant space in the industrial sector has been increasing over the past 12 months. The weak level of tenant enquiry is likely related to the slowing of the resources sector, directly affecting the space needs of a number of industrial companies. September 2014. This is down on the year prior (410,897 square metres) and down on the five year average (382,675 square metres). The number of leases transacted in the 12 months to September 2014 totalled 39.

As the resources sector in the state softens and a number of projects move from the ‘construction’ to ‘production’ phases of their lifecycle, industrial sales activity has come off accordingly.

This has led to further increases in vacancy levels, falling face rents and rising incentives; with the level of deals being done being at the lowest level seen over the past decade. Despite this subdued leasing market Savills expect the level of enquiry to pick up over the coming years, due to a significant number of leases reaching expiration over the period. Tenants may choose to take advantage of the comparatively lower rents and higher incentives to upgrade their current industrial accommodation. Sales levels in the 12 months to September 2014 were at the lowest level seen since postGFC; however the shortage of larger-sized, well located industrial lots seem to indicate that demand for this asset class is likely to outpace supply. Some relief to this limited space may come from larger scale developments in areas such as Perth Airport and Jandakot Airport, as well as in less central locations such as Hazelmere and Forrestfield to the East and Neerabup and Bullsbrook to the North; Bullsbrook is beginning to emerge as a future industrial hotspot, especially for large transportation and logistics firms. Leasing and sales enquiries for prime quality properties with warehouses, excess lay down areas and/or gantry cranes installed are likely to continue to be relatively strong, while secondary grade properties in fringe locations are more likely to continue to struggle to generate interest. savills.com.au/research 9 Savills Research | Perth Industrial October 2014 Savills West Australia Team Our highly regarded research divisions are dedicated to understanding and giving indepth insight into the commercial, industrial & retail markets throughout Australia.
