Here are the main points from the PerthNow article about the new Southern River Business Park
🏗️ Key Development Facts
51-lot business park in Southern River is now officially open.
The project spans 21 hectares, making it the largest commercial development ever undertaken by the City of Gosnells.
Lots vary from 1211 sqm to 6456 sqm, suitable for commercial and light industrial uses (e.g., bulky goods, warehouses, workshops, self‑storage).
🌱 Community & Economic Impact
Mayor Terresa Lynes says the park will:
Provide a major economic boost.
Create local employment opportunities.
Generate significant profits to fund future community infrastructure.
Southern River’s population is just over 17,000 but expected to more than double by 2046, increasing demand for commercial services.
🏞️ Environmental & Public Features
Includes three large open‑space areas with seating and walking paths.
These areas act as a buffer for nearby wetlands and help protect natural vegetation.
A fauna trapping and relocation program will minimise environmental impact.
🏢 Commercial Status
All 51 lots are already under contract.
Land buyers are showing interest in starting construction soon.
Cygnet West has been appointed to manage and market the lots.
