DP World’s logistics operations are being strengthened at the Yennora Distribution Centre in Sydney, New South Wales.
Property development company, Stockland, has commenced construction on a new 40,000-square-metre logistics facility at the site – one of six intermodal terminals operating in NSW.
DP World, which has been operating the intermodal terminal since August 2023, will grow its existing operations into a second building at the site.
Stockland Head of Logistics Development, Craig Lenarduzzi, said Building Two will meet the needs of advanced logistics operations now and into the future.
“Our vision for the new building will see a modern facility that targets a Five Star Green Star rating and meets the future freight and warehousing needs of our customers and consumers,” he said.
“Yennora Distribution Centre is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere, with access to the Southern Sydney Freight Line, Sydney’s major arterial road network and Port Botany.
“This is the first step towards a long-term opportunity to modernise a large-scale, well-located industrial estate which supports local jobs and the NSW economy.”
DP World Executive Vice President, Nicolaj Noes, said the investment is an important step in modernising the Yennora Distribution Centre as a transport hub in Sydney.
“Expanding this facility helps deepen the integration between our rail, warehousing and landside logistics operations – strengthening end-to-end connectivity between Yennora and Port Botany,” he said.
“This enhanced capability will give our customers greater reliability, smarter freight pathways and a more seamless movement of goods across their supply chains.”
As part of Stockland’s commitment to circularity, approximately 60,000 bricks from the site’s demolition will be reused in the new facility.
Building partner, Texco, will be required to identify opportunities for selecting low-carbon materials during construction.
“The Yennora Distribution Centre has always been a jobs powerhouse for our local community, and this new facility strengthens that legacy,” said NSW Member for Granville, Julia Finn.
“This is the kind of long-term investment that keeps Western Sydney strong.”
The project is expected to be complete in late 2026.
