DHL Global Forwarding will deploy green technologies at the new international cold chain facility that it is building at Brisbane Airport.

"A lot of thought went into the design of the new warehouse. It is a best-in-class facility that will serve our customers more efficiently. It is also a green building with sustainable practices to reduce carbon emissions and help our customers achieve a greener supply chain," said George Lawson, managing director, DHL Global Forwarding Australia.

The company broke ground today of the site where the 4,880-sqm facility will rise to meet Brisbane’s growing demand  for international cold chain services. The facility will also support the growth of general cargo in Queensland.

Lawson said: “The expansion of our facilities at Brisbane airport reflects the tremendous growth in perishables export and a growing south east Queensland population that is expected to rise by 31 per cent over the next 20 years. Brisbane's economy is predicted to surge by 2031 and with the new facility, we are ready to support our customers for future growth."

Set to be ready by early 2023,  DHL Global Forwarding is investing AU$17 million over ten years for  the new facility.

Strategically located at Brisbane airport, the facility offers air side access, the first and only freight forwarder to have such exclusive access, and is close to the Port of Brisbane within 20 km or 18 minutes’ drive.

The new facility is a five green star rating according to the Green Building Council of Australia, featuring solar panels, reusable batteries to power most of the warehouse operations, rainwater harvesting and EV charging stations. Plans are also in the works to introduce carbon offsetting and insetting for a carbon neutral supply chain for customers.

The facility is also designed to be a great working space to support a mobile and hybrid workforce and to enhance safety. "We want this new facility to also be a great space for our employees. Interactive screens are in place to facilitate virtual and physical collaboration, while new technologies will be implemented to enhance safety," Lawson said.
