Western Australia’s industrial economy continues experiencing strong growth across:
- warehousing,
- logistics,
- transport,
- industrial development,
- supply-chain infrastructure,
- manufacturing,
- and distribution sectors.
Industrial areas including:
- Kewdale,
- Welshpool,
- Hazelmere,
- Wangara,
- Canning Vale,
- Cockburn,
- and Perth’s broader industrial corridor
continue seeing growing warehouse and logistics activity as businesses expand operational capacity across WA.
But while infrastructure and warehouse capacity continue increasing, workforce supply remains under pressure.
Many businesses are already struggling to source:
- experienced forklift operators,
- warehouse staff,
- dispatch personnel,
- logistics support workers,
- and trained industrial labour.
As operational demand continues growing, many employers believe workforce shortages could intensify significantly unless more focus is placed on training and workforce development.
