Amazon has announced it will partner with LOGOS to open its second Amazon Robotics fulfilment centre in Melbourne. And at 209,000 square metres –the size of 11 MCGs – it will be Australia’s largest.
Located at the AustralianSuper-owned Craigieburn Logistics Estate, the warehouse will hold up to 25 million items sold on Amazon’s Australian website. It will be equipped with Amazon Robotics, which will streamline the fulfilment process by allowing robots to work alongside humans.
The Craigieburn site will be Amazon’s sixth operations site in Melbourne. It will provide an estimated 2,000 local jobs upon completion, boosting employment options for local Hume City residents.
The Craigieburn Logistics Estate is managed and developed by LOGOS. Darren Searle, LOGOS Head of Australia, expressed the company’s excitement about the partnership:
‘We are proud to partner with Amazon and AustralianSuper to bring to life this specialised, high-tech logistics facility.
‘Amazon’s new fulfilment centre will be the anchor of the 90-hectare Craigieburn Logistics Estate, which is strategically located 23km north of Melbourne’s CBD within a state-significant industrial precinct.‘
Construction is expected to be completed in 2025.
