Australia Post has officially opened its newest parcel delivery centre in Perth, Western Australia.
Located in Jandakot, the 16,000-square-metre facility will process up to 48,000 parcels a day and scale up to 67,000 during Black Friday and Christmas periods.
According to Australia Post, these processing capabilities will be critical as parcel volumes across WA rise by eight per cent year-on-year.
“This investment is focused on greater reliability and efficiency, and marks the first stage of Australia Posts’ long-term vision to strengthen WA’s network and support the eCommerce boom,” said Australia Post Head of Infrastructure and Assets, Trevor Stiles.
“The Jandakot Parcel Delivery Centre integrates our full suite of services – Express Post, Parcel Post, Metro next day delivery and StarTrack Premium – making it easier than ever to get parcels where they need to be.”
The new facility brings five southern metropolitan sites under one roof – streamlining Australia Post’s operations while supporting faster deliveries across an area which stretches from Fremantle to Perth Airport, Mandurah and Byford.
These areas include two of the state’s busiest online shopping postcodes, Mandurah and Success, which topped WA’s demand for eCommerce in the July to September quarter according to Australia Post.
“[I’m] proud to see this come to life,” Stiles said.
“[This is] a great step forward for our customers and team in WA.”
