Amazon Australia has announced the opening of a new logistics site in Western Sydney that is set to serve as a crucial distribution hub for Amazon packages.
The site in Chullora will enable faster and more efficient delivery services throughout Sydney while creating operational jobs and flexible work opportunities for local residents.
The Chullora site, open in time for the upcoming peak shopping season, has the capacity to process up to 50,000 packages daily.
Team members celebrated the opening with a Welcome to Country ceremony performed by local Darug elders, acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land.
The arrival of the logistics site provides new work opportunities for the local area in the lead up to the festive period and beyond, with local operational jobs available, as well as provide opportunities for local entrepreneurs to become an Amazon Delivery Service Partner, or for individuals looking for flexible earning opportunities with Amazon’s delivery service Amazon Flex.
“We’re thrilled to officially open our Chullora logistics site, demonstrating Amazon’s continued commitment to Western Sydney,” Amazon Australia AMZL country leader Paramjot Singh says.
“This investment will not only create valuable employment opportunities but will also significantly enhance our delivery capabilities in one of Sydney’s fastest-growing regions.
“With the site now operational, we can better serve our customers while supporting local economic growth. The site’s location in Chullora provides excellent connectivity to major transport routes, enabling us to optimize our last-mile delivery operations.”
Amazon site operations manager Joe Murray says the team is excited to open the doors to the Chullora community.
“Our team is already working hard to build strong local relationships and deliver exceptional service to our customers in Western Sydney,” Murray says.
This new logistics site is Amazon’s 12th operational facility in Australia and joins existing Sydney operations in supporting the greater metropolitan region.
Packages are shipped to the Chullora site from Amazon fulfilment centres and are then picked up by Amazon Flex delivery partners and Amazon Delivery Service Partners to be delivered directly to customers.
