To meet customer demand.
Amazon will open a new fulfilment centre in Moorebank in Sydney’s south west and has started recruiting for a range of roles in operations, support and technical specialists. The company plans to start operations in the second half of the year.
The new 43,000 square metre facility is located in the Goodman Centenary Distribution Centre in Moorebank and provides easy access to the M5 and M7 motorways. The lease of the centre was facilitated by CBRE’s Industrial & Logistics business.
Amazon Australia operations director, Robert Bruce said, “We are thrilled to be establishing our next fulfilment centre in Sydney and working with the local community around Moorebank. Sydney represents another important development for our growth strategy in Australia, following a steady and progressive increase in customer demand.
“This new facility builds on the capabilities of our first centre in Dandenong South, allowing us to continue to fulfil our commitment to fast and reliable deliveries for Australian customers. This investment will benefit both customers and the local economy by generating new jobs and providing small and medium sized Australian businesses that sell on amazon.com.au and use our Fulfilment by Amazon program, with an opportunity to more easily access millions of customers across the country.”
Liverpool Mayor, Wendy Waller commented, “We are pleased to welcome the Amazon fulfilment centre to Moorebank. This is a great win for our local community; the Amazon facility will be a boon for South West Sydney and we look forward to having good jobs for people close to where they live and having a partner involved in the local community. We expect the Sydney fulfilment centre will become a key logistics hub thanks to its strategic position in south west Sydney.”
The new Sydney fulfilment centre, along with the existing building in Melbourne, will allow Amazon to handle current and future customer demand and speed up delivery to customers across the country.
