Queensland freight specialist, Local Freight, has officially opened a new custom-built depot in Rockhampton, Queensland.
Located at 32 Enterprise Drive, Gracemere, the new facility is situated on a 6,800-square-metre block of land and features a 1,200-square-metre warehouse and awning area.
Local Freight Managing Director, Harry Manais, told Trailer the additional location strengthens Local Freight’s ability to service the region and support local businesses with faster, more reliable freight solutions.
“This new facility allows us to better service key areas including Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gladstone, Emerald and Biloela, while also enabling faster overnight services across the network,” he said.
“As demand continues to grow across regional Queensland, this investment ensures we remain close to our customers and continue delivering the dependable service Local Freight is known for.”
Local Freight is a carrier specialising in transport services across Queensland.
The business now operates two depots in Townsville and Rockhampton, and works with distribution partners in other areas such as Mackay and Cairns to service a large network of customers.
“Our long-term vision is to establish company-owned depots in all major regional coastal towns across Queensland,” Manais told Trailer.
“To that end, we have already secured land in Mackay, with depot construction expected to begin in six to 12 months.
“We look forward to supporting more businesses across Central and North Queensland.”
