Amazon starts construction on giant robotics warehouse in Melbourne

 Amazon is boosting its fully automated warehousing capabilities in Australia after starting construction of its second robotics fulfilment centre at Melbourne to complement its existing facility in Sydney.

The new centre, located at Craigieburn in Melbourne’s north, will span 209,000sqm across four levels and top the size of its existing Sydney facility by about 9,000sqm with the company describing it as the largest warehouse ever built in Australia.

The size of the warehouse compares with the Myer Holdings’ (ASX: MYR) 40,000sqm automated warehouse facility completed last year at Dexus Property Group’s (ASX: DXS) Horizon 3023 industrial estate in Ravenhall.

The Melbourne warehouse will be the sixth facility established by Amazon in Melbourne since it entered the domestic market in 2017.

The robotics fulfilment centre is being developed at the AustralianSuper-owned Craigieburn Logistics Estate and is expected to be completed in 2025.

The facility will store up to 25 million smaller items sold on Amazon.com.au and it will be serviced by advanced Amazon Robotics technology to move inventory for delivery to customers.
