Amazon Australia has agreed to purchase 17.2 hectares of land in Bradfield, Western Sydney, to expand its fulfilment and logistics network across the country.
The acquisition builds on almost A$2 billion (£1bn) of investment in Western Sydney since Amazon opened its first fulfilment centre in the region eight years ago.
“This land acquisition demonstrates Amazon Australia’s ongoing commitment to Western Sydney and the communities we serve,” said Wayne Angus, director of operations at Amazon Australia.
“Western Sydney continues to be a strategic priority for our operations, and we look forward to further contributing to the economic growth and development of this vibrant region.”
Amazon opened its first Sydney fulfilment centre in Moorebank in 2018, followed by a robotics fulfilment centre in Kemps Creek in 2022, a logistics site in Regents Park, and a fulfilment centre in Horsley Park in 2025. A second fulfilment centre is planned to open in Horsley Park later this year.
The retailer has also lodged a State Significant Development Application for an additional robotics fulfilment centre at Kemps Creek.
Amazon said its expansion in Western Sydney has created more than 4,000 jobs across fulfilment, logistics, technology and management.
Earlier this year, Amazon revealed plans to open a A$750m robotics fulfilment centre in Logan, Queensland.
