Australia Post has officially opened a new parcel delivery centre in Western Australia (WA).
The new 16,000m2 parcel delivery facility in Jandakot, Perth, is expected to process up to 48,000 parcels per day, ramping up to 67,000 in the run-up to Christmas.
According to Australia Post, the new site consolidates five southern metro sites into one larger facility, streamlining operations.
The new Jandakot facility, which can accommodate more than 210 delivery vans, covers an area from Fremantle to Perth Airport in the north, and Mandurah and Byford in the south.
Mandurah and Success were the top regions of Western Australia for e-commerce in the July-September quarter, with more than 850,000 households shopping online.
“The investment into the new Jandakot facility ensures customers and businesses across WA benefit from greater reliability, simplicity and choice during the busiest time of year,” said Angus Becsi, head of Western Australia operations, Australia Post.
The new facility also marks a significant first step in a broader investment plan for the state.
“Jandakot is the first stage in our long-term vision to strengthen the WA network, supporting the eCommerce boom and helping us deliver parcels faster and more efficiently across the state,” Becsi added.
