Australia Post to develop major parcel facility on Sunshine Coast
Australia Post will build a multi-million dollar parcel facility on the Sunshine Coast, expected to open in late 2026.
The facility will help the company address the region’s growing parcel demand by processing up to 16,000 parcels per day, and up to 21,000 during peak periods such as Christmas.
The development will feature advanced automation, improve turnaround times, and help address the changing needs of the Sunshine Coast community.
“As one of Queensland’s fastest growing regions, our parcel volumes have increased 10 per cent annually – well above the national average of 6 per cent,” said Rod Barnes, Australia Post’s executive GM of network operations.
“With 164,000 locals shopping online in the past year, and areas like Caloundra, Buderim and Nambour recording above national average e-commerce growth, this new parcel facility will help us respond to that demand and deliver parcels to customers’ doors sooner.”
The facility will include enhanced safety and security features, improving team member safety by reducing touch points and manual handling through the installation of a large parcel sorter.
The plans come after Australia Post’s announcement of major infrastructure investments across NSW, including the development of six greenfield sites across Tumut, Leeton, Casino, Deniliquin, Forbes, and Byron Bay.
