Land and Infrastructure

The City of Canning offers a diverse range of land and property options for businesses at every scale, from small commercial tenancies to large-scale industrial investment.

This page provides an overview of the key business precincts, land availability and infrastructure that make Canning an attractive location.

Key business and industrial precincts

Welshpool Industrial Precinct

Welshpool is one of Perth's premier industrial precincts and one of Canning's most significant economic assets. Located approximately 12 kilometres from Perth CBD and 12 kilometres from Perth Airport, it is home to a concentration of manufacturing, engineering, logistics and supply chain businesses that benefit from excellent freight connectivity and proximity to key markets.

The precinct has direct access to major arterial routes including Welshpool Road, Orrong Road and the Leach Highway freight corridor, making it one of the most strategically located industrial areas in the Perth metropolitan region.

Canning Vale Industrial Precinct

Canning Vale is home to WA's largest food hub and supports a diverse range of light and medium industrial activity including food processing, manufacturing, wholesale trade and logistics. The precinct benefits from strong road freight connectivity via South Street and Ranford Road and is well positioned to capitalise on the anticipated growth in freight activity associated with the Westport transition.

Cannington Commercial and Retail Precinct

Cannington is the City's commercial and civic centre and is home to Westfield Carousel, WA's largest shopping centre. The precinct supports a wide range of retail, hospitality, professional services and community-facing businesses. The City's Canning City Centre Regeneration Program is actively investing in the revitalisation of the Cannington precinct, creating new opportunities for commercial and mixed-use development.

Neighbourhood and Strip Retail Precincts

In addition to Cannington, the City has a network of neighbourhood retail and commercial precincts across suburbs including Riverton, Willetton, Queens Park and Bentley. These precincts support local commerce and provide opportunities for small and medium businesses serving the local community.

Infrastructure and connectivity

Good connectivity is one of Canning's strongest advantages for any business. Whether you are managing freight operations, attracting staff or accessing interstate markets, the City's infrastructure supports business at every scale.

Road freight connectivity

• Direct access to Leach Highway, Tonkin Highway, Albany Highway and Roe Highway
• Proximity to major freight routes connecting to Fremantle Port and the state's primary industrial areas
• Strong internal road network supporting last-mile distribution and logistics operations.

Public transport and METRONET

• Cannington and Queens Park train stations provide existing rail access for the workforce
• New METRONET stations at Nicholson Road and Ranford Road will significantly improve public transport access across the southern corridor
• Bus network connections across the City.

Air and port access

• 12 kilometres from Perth Airport supporting interstate and international business travel and air freight
• 7 kilometres from Jandakot Airport for general aviation and charter services
• Connected to Fremantle Port via established rail and road freight corridors.

Westport

The development of Westport as Western Australia's future container port at Kwinana will have significant implications for freight and logistics businesses operating in Canning.

The City is actively monitoring and advocating on Westport-related planning to ensure Canning's transport corridors and business precincts are well positioned for the transition.
