Nine Lots Released At Bentley Technology Park To Expand WA’s Premier Innovation Precinct
The Cook Labor Government has released nine lots at Bentley Technology Park, opening up space at Western Australia’s premier government-established innovation precinct for new tenants across research, technology, and education.
The lots range in size from 2,028 to 3,309 square metres and are pitched to businesses aligned with research and development, including laboratories, data centres, and education-focused uses. Offers are invited until May 30th, 2026.
Located close to the Perth CBD and neighbouring Curtin University, Bentley Technology Park is already home to more than 100 organisations across technology, science, and engineering. Tenants include the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Curtin University, and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre — one of the country’s most advanced research computing facilities.
A newly prepared Precinct Structure Plan has been developed to guide the coordinated redevelopment of the park, which is managed by DevelopmentWA. The precinct is also aligning with the State Government’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
A pillar of WA’s 10-year innovation strategy
The land release sits within the State Government’s broader push to concentrate research and innovation talent in Bentley as part of its ten-year innovation strategy, which targets making WA a globally recognised hub of invention, investment, innovation, and impact.
“Through the release of land in Bentley Technology Park, the Cook Labor Government is actively supporting the advancement of innovation, research, and technology-driven industries,” Planning and Lands Minister John Carey said.
“The creation of Bentley Technology Park is a government-led initiative that is now home to over 100 organisations such as the CSIRO and Curtin University. Our government is focused on the release of more residential and commercial land to support the State’s growing population and strong economy.”
Science and Innovation Minister Stephen Dawson said the release built on continued investment in the precinct.
“This land release is an exciting opportunity that builds on the Cook Labor Government’s ongoing commitment to growing and improving Bentley Technology Park as well as supporting more jobs in the innovation sector,” he said.
“Investing in precincts that concentrate research and innovation talent is a key part of our 10-year innovation strategy to become a renowned global hub of invention, investment, innovation, and impact.”
