Australia Post is boosting its delivery network in regional South Australia with an investment in four new facilities.
The purpose-built sites, located at Murray Bridge, Kadina, Port Pirie and Tanunda, will increase parcel capacity and improve delivery speed in some of SA’s fastest-growing regional centres.
Each facility is expected to handle between 2,000 to 3,700 parcels per day, improving delivery reliability and helping parcels reach customers sooner.
As part of Australia Post’s commitment to emissions reduction, all sites will be fitted with rooftop solar to maximise local energy generation and support EV chargers for our electric vehicles.
Australia Post Executive General Manager Network Operations, Shane Plant, said the investment demonstrates Australia Post’s long-term commitment to supporting regional communities and their growing needs.
“With 80 per cent of SA households now shopping online, parcel volumes in regional areas continue to grow,” he said.
“These modern facilities are built to handle that growth, setting us up to support our customers into the future.
“We’ve focused on designing sites that improve safety, increase capacity and streamline transport flow, creating more efficient workplaces for our teams so they can get on the road safely and deliver for our customers now and into the future.”
Construction is already underway at all four sites.
The Murray Bridge facility, spanning 1,143 square metres, is expected to be opening in June.
Kadina (1,111 square metres) and Port Pirie (836 square metres) are planned for completion in July.
Australia Post expects the 1,335-square-metre Tanunda site to be operational in August.
