Every hundred thousand km. Don't risk waiting any longer either. It's very costly if it snaps. Bent valves, alsorts of problems.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

I just got mine done for 100k which apparently isn't stated in the subaru log books, only 50k. But 5 years is meant to be a good interval. Mine was last changed in 2009 and the belts were starting to crack. Definitely a good idea to replace them on time

Service manual suggests every 125k for MY07ish and onwards.
100k is the usual mark though.

Thanks I got mine with 119 000km's and put her away for the winter with 123 000 km's. I am presently looking for a timing belt kit,/water pump for it. Everything else has been done as far as maintenance as been done.

Can anyone recommend reliable timing belt/water pump kits? No idea who I should be buying from or where.

Yeah good question.
Basically anything that’s made in Japan is good kit. Anything made in China is not.
You can buy individual items from partsouq.com using your VIN. Remember those prices are in $US
Which reminds me, I need to do Ruby Scoo’s cam belt... I can’t remember the last time I did it. Good thing the early ‘22 is non-interference
Cheers
