Construction to commence on 65,700 sqm development on 11 hectare site in Truganina
Facility registered under the Green Star Buildings rating tool
Prime location in Australia’s largest industrial market

One of Australia and New Zealand’s largest retailers, Super Retail Group, owner of Supercheap Auto, rebel, BCF and Macpac, has signed an agreement with Goodman to build an automated distribution centre at RBR Hub in Truganina, Victoria.

The new distribution centre will be built to five-star Green Star rating system standards, and will replace two older distribution centres, helping the company to drive greater supply chain efficiencies from its new Melbourne base.

The long-term lease contains green leasing provisions – meaning Super Retail Group will endeavour to reduce electricity consumption, purchase renewable electricity, minimise operational waste, consider sustainable fitout materials and opportunities for waste recovery. The Goodman development includes sustainable design features such as 1.5 MW of solar, EV charging bays, and rainwater storage, to support Super Retail group in achieving its sustainability targets.

Jason Little, CEO Australia, Goodman Group said “This property for Super Retail Group is a great example of Goodman partnering with our customers to create a high-quality facility with automation to improve productivity and meet its sustainability goals. RBR Hub’s close proximity to large consumer populations will also help Super Retail Group meet rising delivery and service expectations, while providing greater resilience for its supply chains and opportunities to be more sustainable.”

Construction of the 65,700 sqm facility will start in December 2023, and is expected to complete in 2025. “This facility is testament to the investment that Super Retail Group is making in its future supply network to support our business growth. It will enhance not just our ability to service our stores and customers, but will also improve the experience of our team members,” said Patrick Fountain, General Manager Supply Chain Strategy.

Super Retail Group will join Metcash (115,000 sqm), Provincial Home Living and speculative development (40,000 sqm) on Goodman’s super-sized RBR Hub site which is strategically located in Victoria’s Western Urban Growth Zone.

With an estimated population of 3.7 million people within a one hour drivetime*, Truganina is an attractive location for Super Retail Group and other customers seeking strong connectivity to consumers and the availability of a skilled workforce.

Construction cost of the Super Retail Group facility is estimated to be more than $275 million, and will create approximately 850 jobs during the construction phase.
