What happened
The Australian Government introduced new record-keeping rules that affect self-storage businesses. Mobule Storage, a mobile self-storage provider in Perth, noted that the rules coincide with a record number of new businesses in Western Australia. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that actively trading businesses in Western Australia rose by 12,248 in 2025-26, marking the largest percentage increase of any state or territory.

Why it matters
The new requirements mean that many sole traders and micro-businesses, which often operate without dedicated archive rooms, will need off-site storage for required paperwork. This increases the routine need for storage services for small businesses in Perth.
