Bunbury market overview
Greater Bunbury supports a population of around 75,000 and is the largest city in WA's South West. The Port of Bunbury (one of WA's key export ports), industrial activity through Picton and Davenport, ECU's South West campus and tourism into the Margaret River wine region underpin a stable investor market across residential, commercial and industrial stock.
Tax Depreciation for Bunbury property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Bunbury property under Division 43 Capital Works (the building shell, claimable at 2.5% p.a. for 40 years where construction commenced after 15 September 1987) and Division 40 Plant & Equipment (carpets, blinds, hot water systems, air conditioning, common-property assets, and more).
For residential property acquired after 9 May 2017, the s40-27 second-hand restriction limits Division 40 deductions to first-use assets - we model this explicitly. Capital works (Division 43) remain fully deductible regardless. Commercial property and qualifying short-stay accommodation businesses retain the full Division 40 deduction.
