Woodhead continues work with retail distribution facilities throughout Australia.
Woodhead has been designing retail distribution facilities in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria for over a decade. The most recently completed Victorian distribution facility located in Dandenong, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Woodhead assisted in identifying an appropriate location for such a site, and then with the design of a distribution centre totalling 55,000sqm and including an ambient warehouse, major cool-house facilities, offices and ancillary functions.
Key issues that needed to be resolved in the design of the facility included:
- Local flooding and storm water detention
- Construction of new link roads by authorities
- Existing infrastructure on site including sewer lines
- Retention of indigenous archaeological features including aboriginal scar trees, and
- Provision of onsite bio-filtration ponds.
