Australia Post’s needs have changed, and a major part of their business is now Parcel Delivery. This has been fueled by the surge in e-commerce and online shopping over recent years. 
The new facility caters for speedy parcel distribution both within NSW and interstate. The building covers an area of 34,000m2 with an 8,800m2 mezzanine, offices and amenities and a huge hard standing area featuring a 30m wide ‘super awning’.
The building’s lifeblood is an advanced ‘Beumer Group’ sorting system with the capacity to process up to 450,000 parcels per day. 
The judges were impressed with the quality of the building works and its sustainable design elements such as drought resistant landscaping, rainwater harvesting, electric vehicle charging stations and a 1.5 MW solar system. 
The whole project was completed in one year, which is remarkable considering the size of the project and the delaying effects of the Covid crisis and the excessive wet weather which plagued much of 2022.
