Amazon Opens New Delivery Hub In West Gosford

Team members celebrate opening of new site, which will further enhance the delivery experience for Central Coast residents

24 April 2023 - Amazon Australia today announced the opening of its new logistics site located in West Gosford, New South Wales. The new site will serve as a distribution point for Amazon packages, enabling the seamless delivery of customer orders in-and-around the Central Coast.

New team members from the logistics site celebrated the opening with an Indigenous Smoking Ceremony, conducted by a local Darkinjung elder. The arrival of the new site has created local operational jobs, as well as flexible earning opportunities with Amazon’s innovative delivery service Amazon Flex.   

Amazon Australia Director of Operations, Mindy Epsidio-Garcia said, “We’re pleased to contribute to the local economy through the creation of jobs and flexible earning opportunities for people in the area, and we look forward to delivering what our customers need and being an active member of the community.”

Site Lead, James Montecillo started his career at Amazon at the Kemps Creek Fulfilment Centre and has since gone on to lead Amazon Logistics sites in Bella Vista, Newcastle and now West Gosford. “I was very excited to be given the opportunity to launch the West Gosford site; it’s a great community and team to be part of! What I love the most about this role is being able to see the delivery process from end to end and delighting customers with our delivery promises.”

Amazon logistics sites power the ‘last mile’ of the order process and help to improve the delivery experience for Amazon customers in the surrounding areas. Packages are shipped to the West Gosford  site from Amazon fulfilment centres, and are then picked up by Amazon Flex delivery partners to be delivered directly to customers.

Espidio-Garcia explains, “The opening of our logistics site in West Gosford will enable us to provide an enhanced delivery experience for customers in the Central Coast. Building infrastructure closer to where our customers live enables us to deliver to them more efficiently, as well as creating exciting job opportunities for locals in a safe and positive work environment.”

For Australians who want to supplement their existing income, they can sign up to Amazon Flex and deliver Amazon packages to customers using their own vehicle. Amazon Flex provides drivers the opportunity to work when it suits them and earn extra money in their free time. Visit flex.amazon.com.au for more details.

The West Gosford site will be Amazon’s 11th Amazon Logistics site in Australia, joining the Mayfield West  site in Newcastle to support the greater Central Coast and Hunter Region.
