It also features a 10,000-litre, roof-rainwater harvesting tank that will provide water for toilets and drip-irrigation of the landscaping. Additionally, the main office has a solar-electric hot water system.

“The new Agility Australasia facility is equipped with best-in-class technology for logistics with 30,000 sq m devoted to warehousing and 2,000 sq m for office space,” the company says.

“Agility Australasia offers a complete range of logistics, multimodal transport and distribution services for industrial, service and retail companies operating in the region.
