Nippon Express commit to $30 million distribution centre in Melbourne

Vaughan Constructions has won the contract to build Australia’s largest distribution centre for key German supermarket player Kaufland.
The Melbourne facility will have more than 117,000 sqm of building area and will be built over two stages.
Stage one will comprise 98,700 sqm of building area and 107,210 sqm of concrete hardstand, along with 168 recessed loading docks and substantial temperature control areas.
The facility has a total projected investment of $255 million and will create 600 new jobs in Mickleham, around 30 kilometres north of the Melbourne CBD.
"Kaufland were very mindful that the European climate, construction and building materials can be very different than those in Australia and were thus keen to partner with a builder with a sound track record in delivering quality facilities along with the requisite experience building state-of-the-art temperature control areas,’’ Vaughan’s senior development manager Chris Telley said.

He said a detailed Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process had assisted in delivering substantial savings and design improvements for Kaufland.
"Our team worked very closely with the Kaufland team to overcome key supply chain issues and meet strict budget expectations.
"Through the ECI we were able to jointly explore a number of design options and put in place a detailed value management process,’’ Telley said.
The buildings will sit next to the Vaughan Constructions-built award-winning Dulux paint manufacturing facility next door.
Vaughan have previously built complexes for Aldi, Coca Cola, Coles, PFD, Kraft, Made Group, Ferguson Plarre, and Murray Goulburn.
In March Kaufland Australia announced the approval of it’s first three stores in Victoria in Dandenong, Epping and Chirnside Park.
Kaufland Australia has also received planning approval for two sites in South Australia.

Amazon takes Moorebank warehouse space in first South West Sydney lease 

<html><body>
Amazon's arrival in the Australian retail market has been pinpointed as likely given suggestions it has secured its first distribution centre in Melbourne's outer south eastern suburbs.
Amazon has agreed to lease the 24,387 square metre former Bunnings distribution centre at 29 National Drive in Dandenong (above) within the M2 Industry Park, owned by Melbourne's wealthy Pellicano family, according to the AFR.
The vacant A-Grade warehouse, which stands on a large 7.7 hectare site, could potentially be doubled in size to suit Amazon's needs. 
It has been available for lease since October 2014 with an asking rent of $75 per square metre (or $1.8 million per annum).
The online giant, founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, has been scouting for logistics hubs in Sydney and Melbourne since revealing its ambitions earlier this year to offer it full retail offering in Australia,
In Sydney, it is understood there's a deal looming between Amazon and industrial developer Goodman Group on a large fulfillment facility in the west, rumoured to be the Oakdale Industrial Estate, on Old Wallgrove Road, at Eastern Creek.

Beaumont Tiles has opened a 13,000 sqm tile distribution centre at Rochedale in Brisbane’s south.
Beaumont has a 19-year lease on the Goodman’s Rochedale Motorway Estate (1 Brickworks Place), an industrial precinct. The facility is 60 percent larger than Beaumont's sites at Archerfield. The new facilities allow the retailer to run 16 hours a day.
The state-of-the-art 13,287 sqm head office and warehouse employs 75 people and will service Beaumont’s network of 28 stores in Queensland and stores and customers in northern NSW, said a media release.
The Rochdale opening is part of a $20 million dollar investment into Queensland by Beaumont. The retailer also recently launched its new 730 sqm design studio in Montpelier Road, Fortitude Valley.
Beaumont Tiles managing director Bob Beaumont said the company had increased its national footprint by 25 percent in Queensland in the last five years and he expected turnover to increase to $100 million a year from $60 million in five years.
“We’ve designed the facility to suit our unique needs for stock holding and to vastly improve our heavy-vehicle and customer traffic management. This means customers can get what they want, when they want it and we can maintain market leading price points,” Beaumont said.
The Rochedale centre takes Beaumont's national distribution centre holdings to 50,000 sqm across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide with the same footprint again in its 106-store network.
