A four-level robotics facility in Logan that spans 150,000 square meters and processes more than 125 million packages annually. Construction has already started in North Maclean- home to Amazon’s largest robotics fulfilment centre in Australia.
The scale is staggering: Capacity to house 15 million smaller items sold on amazon.com.au, from pantry basics to electronics. Plans to deploy advanced automation including Hercules autonomous mobile robots that move 500-kilogram shelving units and Sparrow robotic arms for precise item handling.
The $750 million investment creates roughly 2,000 construction and fit-out jobs through 2028, then 1,000 permanent positions once operations begin. Those operational roles range from entry-level warehouse positions to specialized robotics technicians, IT professionals, and management staff—reflecting the technical complexity of modern fulfillment operations.
The robotics integration distinguishes this facility from traditional warehouses. Amazon’s automation suite handles the heavy physical work—moving shelves to ergonomic workstations, sorting packages at high speed, optimizing storage density. Human workers focus on tasks requiring judgment, problem-solving, and flexibility that robots still handle poorly.
