DHL Supply Chain Australia has begun construction on a new state-of-the-art transport and warehousing facility at Edinburgh Park, South Australia.
Due for completion in the third quarter of 2026, the development represents a significant investment in the state’s logistics capacity, delivering 20,000 square metres of additional warehouse and office space.
The facility will consolidate DHL’s three existing South Australian depots into one sustainable hub, serving customers across retail, technology, consumer, life sciences and healthcare sectors. Designed with both operational scale and sustainability in mind, the site will incorporate electric vehicle charging for DHL’s expanding fleet of trucks and vans, a rooftop solar array, LED lighting, solar hot water and an intelligent building management system to optimise energy use.
Steve Thompsett, CEO of DHL Supply Chain Australia and New Zealand, says the project reflects the company’s national growth strategy. “DHL offers 100 per cent network coverage across Australia, and we are investing in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth to expand services for our customers in these areas,” he explains. “This multi-sector, carbon-neutral warehouse will support a wide range of customers with their business requirements as well as sustainable supply chain goals. I’m particularly pleased that under the aegis of DHL Health Logistics, we’re bringing the highest quality Life Sciences and Healthcare storage and transport solutions to Adelaide.”
The site will also act as DHL’s South Australian Transport Hub, enabling expanded domestic freight services through both dedicated fleets and shared national networks for cartons, pallets, skids and more.
Senior Vice President Transport, Bill Rolfe, highlights the broader benefits: “We’re excited to bring a cutting-edge facility that will meet the evolving needs of our customers and create new job opportunities. The investment underscores our commitment to industry development, workforce empowerment and enhanced service capabilities.”
Construction is being undertaken by Australian firm FDC, with handover scheduled for late 2026.
