Two new distribution hubs in Western Sydney
The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) has announced that two of its corporate members, Qube Holdings and Woolworths Group, plan to invest in two distribution centres at the Moorebank Logistics Park in Western Sydney.
Subject to NSW government planning approvals, the investments will see the construction of a new automated regional distribution centre (RDC) and a semi-automated national distribution centre (NDC) for Woolworths at Moorebank.
Qube will invest AUD 420-460 million in the building of the facilities over the next two years, with Woolworths investing AUD 700-780 million in equipment and technology over the next four years. The project is expected to generate around 1,000 construction jobs.
The NDC is expected to go on stream in 2023 and the RDC in 2024, with both facilities operating at full capacity by 2025. (mw)
