Amazon.com, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Australia unit on Wednesday disclosed a massive $750 million investment in a new robotics fulfillment center in Queensland.

Details

The fulfillment center is set to be one of the largest warehouses in the region.

The new center will span 150,000 square meters across four levels, roughly the size of 18 rugby fields.

The facility will be Amazon’s second fulfillment center in Queensland.

This complements its Lytton site and logistics facilities in Heathwood and Arundel (Gold Coast), further expanding capacity for faster delivery and broader product selection.

The facility will hold up to 15 million small items sold on Amazon.com.au, including pantry goods, beauty products, electronics, and toys.

At full capacity, the company expects the fulfillment center to process over 125 million packages annually. This includes products from Queensland-based small and medium businesses selling through Amazon across Australia.

It’s designed to support small and medium-sized businesses in Queensland by improving their access to Amazon’s vast customer base, thereby boosting the local economy and job market.

The company has begun construction on the fulfillment center at Charter Hall’s Flagstone Logistics Estate.
