Project Description
Rockingham has been growing rapidly for many years as people discover the unique lifestyle offered by its spectacular coastline, gorgeous beaches and its more affordable cost of living in comparison to Perth’s other metropolitan centres.
With Australia gearing up for the AUKUS trilateral security partnership, the coastal city of Rockingham is perfectly poised to benefit from this massive defence project as the Commonwealth Government invests $8 billion in the HMAS Stirling naval base, and thousands of new jobs are created.
Being home to the nation’s largest naval base, Rockingham has strong ties to the Australian Defence Force. Its proximity to the base, coupled with the availability of suitably zoned land for development, makes Rockingham the ideal location for businesses looking to become part of a modern and innovative Defence administrative centre in Western Australia. Several high-profile Defence industry names, including Leonardo, Saab Systems and Thales are already based here.
The 1,150 ha Rockingham Industry Zone (RIZ) was the first industrial estate in WA, the largest in Australia and one of only three nationwide to achieve the UDIA EnviroDevelopment certification, making it a national leader in sustainable industrial development.Ideally positioned to access regional road transport networks, the estate is at the centre of one of Australia’s fastest growing regions, the Western Trade Coast. This region is also home to Latitude 32 Industry Zone, Kwinana and Rockingham Strategic Industrial Area and the Australian Marine Complex near Henderson.
Rockingham Industry Zone caters to a wide range of business types and industries, including warehousing, transport & logistics, medium-to-large fabrication works and maritime-related industries.
