Australia Post emphasizes that this strategic investment will prepare the Australia <\/a>Post Group for the anticipated e-commerce growth across the South East Queensland region, as the population is forecasted to surpass six million by 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The 33,600 sqm facility, situated conveniently adjacent to Brisbane Airport, is set to receive a 5-Star Green Star accreditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Graham, Chief Executive and Managing Director of Australia Post Group highlighted Queensland’s consistent e-commerce growth, with 82% of Queenslanders engaging in online purchases in the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham stated, “This new Parcel Facility will help us respond to that demand and deliver parcels to customers\u2019 doors sooner. The Brisbane North Parcel Facility will not only increase our operational footprint. Still, it will also complement our modernization and regional capacity network program, with 39 network operations sites upgraded in the past 12 months.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new facility will be able to process up to 176,000 parcels per day, enhancing team member safety through reduced touch points and manual handling by installing large and small parcel sorters equipped with integrated X-ray screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham emphasized, “Our delivery team will also benefit from being closer to delivery catchments, reducing their on-road time and ultimately improving services for our customers throughout South East Queensland.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michelle Rowland MP, Minister for Communications, praised Australia Post as a vital national institution supporting communities, businesses, and the economy. The government reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring Australia Post provides exceptional service to all Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
