Rippa Perth: Why Western Australia Has Its Own Dealership
Perth is 4,000 kilometres from the Gold Coast. Rippa Perth at Bellevue puts stock on the ground for Perth, the Wheatbelt and the South West, and feeds the rest of the state.
Freight from the Gold Coast covers most of Australia in under a week. Perth is the exception: four days across the Nullarbor at best, and a buyer who wants to sit on a machine first has a long way to travel. That is why Western Australia has its own Rippa dealership.
Where and what
Rippa Perth is at 10 Bushby Street, Bellevue WA 6056, on Great Eastern Highway near Midland at the foot of the Perth Hills. It stocks the excavator and skid steer range and the common attachments, runs pre-delivery inspections locally and lets WA buyers inspect, test and collect without an interstate freight leg.
Who it serves
Perth and its suburbs, the Hills, the Swan Valley and the Peel; the Wheatbelt, which drives past the yard on Great Eastern Highway; the South West and Great Southern by tilt tray. The far north and the Goldfields are freighted from Perth or, for heavy machines, direct from the Gold Coast.
How it fits with Rippa Australia
Rippa Australia imports and supports the range nationally and sets the pricing; Rippa Perth sells and delivers in the west from local stock, with the same machines, warranty and finance partners. The Rippa Perth store at rippaausperth.com.au carries WA pricing and a large library of WA-specific guides; this network site and the other state sites point WA buyers there.
WA conditions
Perth's coastal sand, Tamala limestone, the Hills' laterite and granite, the Wheatbelt's hardpan and the Pilbara's rock each favour different machines and attachments. Rippa Perth's guides cover them district by district, and the Rippa WA site covers the regions.
Visiting
The yard is open by appointment; call 1300 263 551. Most Perth buyers visit on a Saturday morning, sit on two or three machines and leave with one on the trailer.
