Serviced Office Prices in Perth: 2026 Pricing Guide

Perth CBD / St Georges Terrace

$733 average per desk · offices $649–$16,590/mo · 79 offices · 1–28 people

St Georges Terrace is Perth's premier business address — the equivalent of Collins Street in Melbourne or Martin Place in Sydney. At $733 per desk per month on average, it's remarkably affordable compared to east coast CBDs. The offices available run from single desks to 30-person suites. Major operators including Servcorp, Regus, and WeWork have multiple locations along The Terrace and surrounding streets like Hay Street and Murray Street. Elizabeth Quay has reinvigorated the western end of the CBD with new towers, restaurants, and waterfront access. Perth underground train station provides easy access, and the free CAT bus system covers the entire CBD precinct. For resources, mining services, engineering, and professional services firms, St Georges Terrace is the address that matters. The CBD also benefits from proximity to Perth's courts, government departments, and major corporate headquarters.

Best for: Mining and resources companies, engineering, professional services, legal, finance, government-adjacent businesses, teams of 1–30.

West Perth

West Perth has traditionally been Perth's "second CBD" — home to a dense cluster of mining juniors, exploration companies, and resources-focused professional services firms along Hay Street and Colin Street. It is meaningfully cheaper than St Georges Terrace while being just a short walk or free CAT bus ride away. The 12 offices available suit teams of 1–20 people, predominantly in mid-rise commercial buildings from the 1980s and 1990s. The area lacks the shiny new towers of the CBD, but what you get is functional, well-located office space at genuine value. West Perth has excellent parking availability compared to the CBD core, and the Kings Park precinct is on the doorstep — ideal for walking meetings and lunchtime breaks. For small to mid-size businesses, particularly those in resources, West Perth offers the right balance of address quality and affordability.

Best for: Mining juniors, exploration companies, resources services, small professional services firms, budget-conscious teams of 1–20.

Subiaco

Subiaco is Perth's most affordable option for serviced offices, well below the CBD. Located west of the city centre along Rokeby Road and Hay Street, Subiaco has a village-like atmosphere with excellent cafes, restaurants, and independent retail. The 8 offices available suit teams of 1–12 people, mostly in low-rise commercial buildings. Subiaco train station provides direct access to the CBD in about 10 minutes, and parking is relatively easy to find. The suburb has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years, with new residential and mixed-use developments bringing fresh energy to the area. Subiaco suits businesses that don't need a CBD address — freelancers, small creative firms, health and wellness businesses, and professional services serving the western suburbs. The relaxed atmosphere and village amenities make it a pleasant daily work environment.

Best for: Freelancers, small businesses, creative firms, health and wellness businesses, teams of 1–12 who value lifestyle and affordability.

East Perth

East Perth sits between the CBD and the Swan River, offering a quieter alternative to the St Georges Terrace precinct. It is meaningfully cheaper than the CBD while remaining walkable to the city centre (about 15 minutes on foot or a quick CAT bus ride). The 5 offices available suit teams of 1–15 people in a mix of converted residential properties and modern commercial buildings along Adelaide Terrace and the Riverside Drive precinct. East Perth has seen steady redevelopment, with new apartment and mixed-use developments improving the street-level amenity. The area benefits from proximity to the WACA, Langley Park, and the river foreshore. Parking is easier and cheaper than the CBD core. For businesses wanting a city-fringe location with good access and lower overheads, East Perth is a practical choice — particularly for businesses that serve clients across both the CBD and inner eastern suburbs.

Best for: Small professional services, consultancies, businesses serving eastern suburbs clients, teams of 1–15 wanting city proximity at lower cost.

Furnished, lockable private office

Your own private space with desks, ergonomic chairs, and storage. Most Perth operators provide quality furniture as standard, with premium operators offering sit-stand desks and designer fitouts in newer CBD towers.

High-speed internet and Wi-Fi

Business-grade internet with enterprise Wi-Fi. Perth's CBD buildings generally have strong fibre infrastructure, though speeds can vary in older West Perth and Subiaco buildings.

Kitchen and breakout facilities

Shared kitchen with complimentary tea, coffee, and usually milk and snacks. Perth's reliable climate means some operators offer outdoor breakout areas and rooftop terraces.

Reception and mail handling

Professional front desk service during business hours with mail and package handling. Standard in CBD operators, less common in suburban coworking-style spaces in Subiaco and East Perth.

Meeting room access

A monthly allocation of meeting room hours (typically 2–10 hours). Additional hours charged at $25–$60/hr — generally cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne rates.

Electricity, cleaning, and air conditioning

All utilities covered, including air conditioning — essential during Perth's hot summers. Common areas and your private office are cleaned regularly.

24/7 building access and security

Swipe card access around the clock with CCTV and after-hours security in most CBD buildings.

Business address for registrations

Use the office address for your ABN/ACN, business registration, and correspondence. A St Georges Terrace address carries significant weight in Perth's business community.

Location within Perth

St Georges Terrace commands a significant premium over West Perth, East Perth and Subiaco. Within the CBD, the eastern end of The Terrace near Elizabeth Quay tends to be priciest, with the western end and side streets offering more affordable options.

Resources sector cycles

Perth's office market is more cyclical than Sydney or Melbourne because of its dependence on the mining and resources sector. When commodity prices are high and mining activity surges, demand for office space increases and operators raise prices. During quieter periods, vacancy rises and there's more room to negotiate. Understanding where Perth sits in the cycle is crucial to timing your search well.

Operator and brand

Global operators like Servcorp command premium pricing in Perth — often 20–30% above local independents for comparable space. The gap is wider in Perth than other cities because the local market is smaller and premium brands have less competition. Independent operators can offer excellent value, particularly in West Perth and Subiaco.

Team size and office capacity

Per-desk pricing decreases with team size. A solo desk on St Georges Terrace runs well above the per-desk rate of a 15-person suite in the same building. Larger teams have more negotiating leverage, particularly when vacancy is elevated.

Lease term

Month-to-month agreements carry a 10–20% premium over 12-month terms. Perth operators are generally willing to negotiate on term length, and combining a longer commitment with other incentives can yield savings of 15–25% below the advertised rate.

Building grade and age

Perth has a significant stock of 1980s and 1990s commercial buildings alongside modern towers like those at Elizabeth Quay. Newer A-grade buildings with harbour views, end-of-trip facilities, and modern lobbies command premiums of 20–40% over older B-grade stock. West Perth's older building stock is a key reason it's cheaper than the CBD.

Parking and transport

Perth is more car-dependent than east coast capitals, making parking a meaningful factor. Buildings with on-site parking or easy nearby parking can justify slightly higher rent because they reduce the total cost of commuting. The free CAT bus system offsets this somewhat within the CBD.

Time your search with the resources cycle

Perth's office market is cyclical. When mining activity cools and vacancy rises, operators are far more motivated to negotiate. Monitor the market — Sidespace's Concierge team tracks Perth vacancy rates and can advise on the best time to negotiate for your preferred location and office size.

Commit to a 12-month term

The simplest way to reduce your rate. Moving from month-to-month to 12 months typically saves 15–20% in Perth. On a 10-person St Georges Terrace suite, a 15% discount saves a substantial sum across the year. Most operators will still allow you to upgrade to a larger office mid-term if your team grows.

Use Sidespace's free Concierge service

Perth's serviced office market is smaller than Sydney or Melbourne, making it easier for our Concierge team to know every operator and every available deal. Tell us your requirements and budget, and we'll shortlist offices across the entire Perth market — including operators who don't list publicly. We put your requirements to them at no cost.

Consider West Perth or Subiaco

If you don't need a St Georges Terrace address, West Perth and Subiaco offer savings of 25–35% compared to the CBD. West Perth is walkable to the CBD and well-connected by the free CAT bus. Subiaco is 10 minutes by train. For small to mid-size teams, these suburbs provide genuine value without sacrificing accessibility.

Negotiate parking into your lease

Perth CBD parking at $100–$300/mo is already cheap by national standards, but operators often include one or more car parks as part of lease negotiations — particularly for longer commitments or larger teams. Always ask for bundled parking before you sign.

Don't over-lease

At $733/desk in the CBD, every empty seat costs $7,800 per year. Lease for your current team size and negotiate flexibility to expand within the building as you grow. Perth operators understand that resources companies can scale quickly, so most are accommodating on internal moves.

Search during quieter months

January, post-Easter, and July tend to see higher vacancy in Perth as businesses restructure or relocate. Operators are more motivated to offer competitive rates when occupancy dips. If your move-in date is flexible, aligning your search with these periods can yield better deals.
