Chep to build sustainable QLD service centre
Packaging solutions provider, CHEP, has begun construction on a new purpose built Service Centre Facility in Queensland.
The new 6,870sqm is located at Rochedale Motorway Estate in Brisbane's south.
The new purpose-built warehouse will allow CHEP to service customer requirements for foldable crates, plastic pallets, bins, and intermediate bulk containers from a single location, and market leading washing facility.
Designed with environmental performance in mind, the CHEP facility is earmarked to be Goodman’s most sustainable development in Queensland. Environmental features include a 450kw solar system, which is anticipated to generate approximately 700MWh per annum. In addition, the property will have LED lighting in the office and warehouse, rainwater reticulation, fully integrated wastewater treatment plant, solar hot water, and movement sensor lighting.
Jason Collins, Regional Operations Director Queensland at CHEP, said “We identified Rochedale as an ideal site due to its strategic location and excellent road connectivity for our customers and employees, as well as the sustainability benefits we gain from a greenfield build.
“Sustainability is embedded into our culture at CHEP and is a part of our global strategy. Creating a more environmentally efficient supply chain benefits our customers, the community and our business,” said Mr Collins.
The Industrial Estate is due for completion in February 2022.
