BackgroundNew Zealand Post’s Auckland Mail Centre, Express Couriers, Contract Logistics and Datamail were located at different locations some of which they had outgrown.

New Zealand Post’s ObjectivesTo gain operational efficiencies by amalgamating four facilities. Emphasise a leading business profile and to provide a high level of amenity to employees who often work extended hours. Be in close proximity to motorways,

employee base and Airport. Build to Green Star rating principles.

The Goodman SolutionThroughout the design and construction process, New Zealand Post had direct input into the quality, financial and design aspects of its new facilities. A very large 16,450 sqm site allowing for water solar heating, occupancy sensors, zoned lighting and extensive glazing to reduce power consumption. The premises have been future proofed with the option of increasing stud height and allowing additional staff amenities and car parking to be added.
