Coles Starts Construction on Third Mega Automated Distribution Centre

Coles Group has begun construction of its next new Automated Distribution Centre (ADC) in Truganina.

The milestone, in December last year, followed the opening of ADCs in Redbank, Queensland and in Kemps Creek, New South Wales. It will deliver full automation of Coles’ ambient distribution centre network across the eastern seaboard of Australia.

The Victorian ADC is expected service all stores in Victoria and Tasmania and will also integrate into Coles’ existing supply chain in South Australia and Western Australia, enabling improved availability for our customers in those states.

“This new automated distribution centre in Victoria will complement our existing sites in Queensland and New South Wales, enabling us to drive productivity and further capitalize on the advantages of world-leading automation technology,” Coles Group CEO Leah Weckert said.

TMX Transform is partnering with Charter Hall, WITRON Group, and Qanstruct to deliver the facility, with TMX providing end-to-end project management.

The $880M facility is expected to go live in 2029.
