Monday’s announcement of a multi-million investment across multiple communities included relocating the current Deniliquin delivery centre to a new greenfield site.
Australia Post has confirmed this will not affect other postal services, which will continue to be available in the Deniliquin CBD.
The new facilities at Deniliquin, Tumut, Leeton, Casino, Forbes and Byron Bay are designed to bolster capacity to support parcel volume growth and improve service across rural and regional communities.
The purpose-built facilities are designed to boost parcel processing capability and enhance service across rural and regional communities, as well as improving operational safety and efficiency.
With a focus on sustainability, each will feature 50kW rooftop solar power generation. Some will also invest in rainwater harvesting and EV charging capability.
The Deniliquin facility will have the capacity to handle up to 1,200 parcels per day.
Construction will begin on the site in early 2026, with an expected opening towards the end of that year.
Australia Post has said land at the corner of Macauley and Ochtertyre Sts has been earmarked for the project.
