Stockland : Construction begins on 40,000 sqm logistics facility at Yennora Distribution Centre

About this update from Stockland

Link to assets Stockland has started construction on a new logistics facility spanning nearly 40,000 square metres at its Yennora Distribution Centre, one of six intermodal terminals operating in New South Wales. DP World, which has been operating the intermodal terminal since August 2023, will expand its existing operations into the new building, known as Building 2. DP World currently operates the intermodal terminal with a rail service to and from Port Botany and leases a number of warehouses in the estate. Stockland Head of Logistics Development, Craig Lenarduzzi, said Building 2 will meet the needs of advanced logistics operations now and into the future. "Until its recent demolition, the site was occupied by an outdated low clearance warehouse originally constructed in the 1970s. Our vision for the new building will see a modern facility that targets a 5 Star Green Star rating and meets the future freight and warehousing needs of our customers and consumers," Mr Lenarduzzi said. "Yennora Distribution Centre is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere, with access to the Southern Sydney Freight Line, Sydney's major arterial road network, and Port Botany. This is the first step towards a long-term opportunity to modernise a large-scale, well-located industrial estate which supports local jobs and the NSW economy." DP World Oceania APAC Executive Vice President, Nicolaj Noes said Yennora is a critical link in Sydney's rail freight network and this investment is an important step in modernising one of the State's key intermodal hubs. "Expanding this facility helps deepen the integration between our rail, warehousing and landside logistics operations - strengthening end-to-end connectivity between Yennora and Port Botany," Mr Noes said. "This enhanced capability will give our customers greater reliability, smarter freight pathways and a more seamless movement of goods across their supply chains." State Member for Granville, Julia Finn welcomed the start of construction. "The Yennora Distribution Centre has always been a jobs powerhouse for our local community, and this new facility strengthens that legacy. This is the kind of long-term investment that keeps Western Sydney strong,"Ms Finn said. Stockland has appointed builder partner Texco to construct Building 2. As part of Stockland's commitment to circularity approximately 60,000 bricks from the site's demolition will be re-used in the new facility, and Texco will be required to identify opportunities for selecting low-carbon materials during construction. Building 2 is expected to be complete in late 2026.
