Construction of a new parcel processing facility in Casino begins early next year at the Reynolds Road Industrial Estate.

Australia Post said the 1350sqm site will be completed by the end of 2026.

Six new sites are planned at Tumut, Leeton, Deniliquin, Forbes, Byron Bay and Casino.

The purpose built facilities will handle between 900 and 2200 parcels a day.

Each of the six new greenfield sites is designed to support rising parcel volumes in regional areas.

Australia Post general manager of Network Development & Support Services Shane Plant said the rise of internet shopping dictated the need for more parcel sorting facilities.

“With 82% of NSW households now shopping online, and regional areas increasingly reliant on eCommerce due to limited retail options, these sites are vital to meeting growing demand,” Mr Plant said.

All new sites will be equipped with 50kW rooftop solar systems, while several will also include EV charging stations and rainwater harvesting capabilities.
