Northline announces plans for Redbank, Brisbane facility

National transport and logistics firm Northline has today announced plans for a $21 million transport and logistics facility at Redbank in Brisbane’s South.

The new 25,000 square metre Brisbane distribution facility will replace the current Northline facility at Pinkenba and will be located within the Goodman Group’s $350 million Redbank Motorway Estate.

The Monash Road facility will provide more than 12,500 square metres of warehousing and undercover freight operations space and will be home to the company’s Queensland state office.

Northline chief executive Craige Whitton said the new Brisbane facility represents the second multi-million dollar investment by the company in just over a year in enhancing its national distribution network. It undertook a $24 million investment in a new custom built Sydney facility at Smithfield which became fully operational in January.

“The improved efficiencies of the site will broaden access to our supply chain partners and reduce turnaround times of freight coming into and departing the facility", he added.

The facility is due to open mid-September 2014.
