A $50 million logistics hub is set to be constructed in Truganina.
Transport company Secon Freight Logistics will build the hub and will lease an adjacent logistics warehouse building from Berton Investments, which is based at the Triwest Industrial Estate on Dohertys Road.
The logistics hub will be partially owned by Secon and partially retained by Berton under a long-term lease with Secon.
Property and supply chain business TM Insight will design and deliver the new facility, which will measure 21,000 square metres.
The development will feature areas of heavy-duty container pavement, head office, separate warehouses to accommodate contract logistics and cross-docking operations and workshop areas for equipment repair and maintenance.
Secon chief executive Steve Nailer said the company had secured approval to use super-B and A-double HPFV vehicles at the site.
TM Insight property director Nathan Bingham said the Truganina logistics centre would be “a landmark operation in the centre of Australia’s fastest growing industrial market”.
“Additionally, Truganina was selected as the preferred location for this development due to the proximity to Secon’s current and future customers and the area’s investment in road infrastructure,” he said.
The new facility in Truganina is expected to become operational later this year.
