Medical, dental and veterinary practice fitouts across metropolitan Perth, from consulting suites in the city and Subiaco to standalone centres in the northern and southern corridors.

Practice fitouts in Perth

Medical, dental and veterinary tenancies across metropolitan Perth.

Start a project

Perth's clinical property splits three ways. Consulting suites cluster around the hospital precincts in Nedlands, Murdoch and the city. Suburban general practice sits mostly in strip retail and small centres, which makes a change of use the usual starting point. And the growth corridors north and south carry the new standalone centres, where the developer's program sets the dates.

Councils we work across

City of Perth, Stirling, Joondalup, Wanneroo, Vincent, Subiaco, Nedlands, Melville, Canning, Gosnells, Armadale, Rockingham, Cockburn, Fremantle, Bayswater, Bassendean and Swan.

Getting a clinic approved in Western Australia

In Western Australia, development approval is assessed by the local government under the relevant local planning scheme and the Planning and Development Act 2005. A change from a shop or office use to a medical or consulting use generally needs approval, and car parking is usually the point the application turns on.

A building permit is then issued by the local government under the Building Act 2011, certified by a registered building surveyor. An occupancy permit follows where the classification requires one.

Imaging equipment requires shielding designed by a radiation consultant, and registration of the premises and the equipment with the Radiological Council of Western Australia under the Radiation Safety Act 1975.

Approvals, not construction, are the part of a Perth program that varies most. A realistic opening date depends on knowing which pathway your tenancy falls into before you sign for it.

Fitout costs in Perth

The indicative ranges published on this site, $1,200 to $1,800 per square metre for a dental base build, $1,400 to $2,200 for general practice and $1,500 to $2,300 for a small animal veterinary clinic, all apply across the capital cities. Trade rates vary between them, but not by as much as shell condition varies between two tenancies on the same street.

What genuinely differs by city is the approvals pathway and the time it takes, which shows up in rent during construction not in the build rate.

Perth fitout questions

Do I need development approval for a medical centre in Perth?

Generally yes where the use is changing to a medical or consulting use. The local government assesses it under its local planning scheme, and car parking provision is usually the determining issue on a suburban tenancy.

Who issues the building permit in WA?

The local government, certified by a registered building surveyor, under the Building Act 2011. It is separate from the planning approval and covers the works and the building classification.

What does imaging require in Western Australia?

Shielding designed by a radiation consultant, plus registration of the premises and the equipment with the Radiological Council of Western Australia under the Radiation Safety Act 1975.
