Australia Post Launches Major Air Parcel Hub at Brisbane Airport

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australia Post has launched its largest air package hub at Brisbane Airport, equipped with an automated sorting system to accelerate parcel delivery across Queensland. The facility covers 840,000 square feet and offers direct ramp access, sorting up to 250,000 parcels per day, supporting Express Post and StarTrack Premium services. StarTrack is a wholly-owned express subsidiary of Australia Post.

Australia Post Group CEO Paul Graham said: "This facility instantly boosts our operational capacity, and its automation is a blueprint for speed and simplification, enabling us to continue addressing current and anticipated e-commerce growth across the state." Last year, Queensland consumers spent AUD 17.8 billion (approximately USD 12.7 billion) online. This facility is the largest industrial project at Brisbane Airport to date, featuring inspection rooms for the Border Force and Department of Agriculture, as well as climate, sound, and light-controlled kennel areas. The air hub is also equipped with a large photovoltaic system and batteries to store electricity and reduce reliance on the grid.

Meanwhile, Australia Post plans to open a 129,000-square-foot sorting facility in Hobart, Tasmania, by the end of 2027. The facility will use advanced automation technology to sort up to 6,000 parcels per hour, reducing manual handling and shortening delivery times. Located near Hobart Airport, the new facility will serve Australia Post's converted Airbus A321 freighters. Online retail spending in Tasmania grew 11% year-on-year in 2025, and management says the new facility will support continued e-commerce growth. Australia Post is also building a 893,000-square-foot parcel super hub near Adelaide Airport, and undertaking upgrades in areas such as the Sunshine Coast.
