Australia, New South Wales, 6 August 2024 – FedEx Australia (“FedEx”) recently opened its new state-of-the-art sortation and distribution facility in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales (NSW). The facility will support economic growth in the region, as well as small and medium businesses looking to expand their domestic and international reach.
The new facility spans over 2,400 square metres and is equipped with advanced material handling and sortation technology to safely and efficiently sort up to 1,300 packages per hour. Strategically located near the highway, the new facility provides easy access for express pick-up and delivery services across Coffs Harbour and surrounding areas including Grafton to the north and Eungai Creek to the south. It also serves as a domestic and international collection point, providing seamless end-to-end transportation services for local importers and exporters.
Coffs Harbour is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic areas within regional NSW. The city boasts a $5 billion Gross Regional Product (GRP), contributing just under 0.7 percent to NSW Gross State Product. With a projected population growth of nearly 29 percent by 2041, Coffs Harbour is poised for continued economic expansion and the new FedEx facility will help support this burgeoning growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“This advanced facility represents a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing our value proposition in Australia, and creating greater access for customers while supporting the ongoing economic growth of regions like Coffs Harbour,” said Peter Langley, Vice President, FedEx Australasia. “By investing in infrastructure enhancements and service improvements in Australia, we enable faster and more efficient freight movement across the country. This expansion will not only strengthen our regional network and overall service offerings, but it also empowers local businesses to retain or even gain market share by providing the best possible last-mile delivery experience for their customers.”
