Business & Tourism

Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire boasts a wide range of private businesses and industries. Careful planning has enabled business and tourism to operate in harmony with residential areas, contributing significantly to the wealth and vibrancy of the shire and boosting its ability to offer employment opportunities.

Employment opportunities are growing within the tourism and hospitality sector, whilst an increasingly diverse agricultural industry brings with it many more opportunities.

Visit the excellent new SJ Business & Tourism Association's website, which has all the local tourism information plus a business directory (under Partners).

Industrial areas offer opportunities for businesses to relocate to, or start up in the Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire.

Location & Benefits

Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire forms the northern part of the Peel Region, which is regarded as the fastest developing region outside of Perth.

The area offers many unique opportunities with significant industries already taking advantage of the area including equine, horticulture, agriculture, timber production, brickworks, viticulture and tourism.

The Shire's main competitive advantage for business is its close proximity to the Perth metropolitan area - only 30 minutes drive/45kms - and yet businesses can expect lower commercial property prices.

The Shire is also in close proximity to the freight ports of Fremantle, Kwinana and Bunbury, as well as the Perth International Airport.
