Fabcot Files Plans for Macquarie Park Warehouse

Nettleton Tribe Architects' render for Fabcot's next Woolworths distribution and customer fulfillment centre at 144 Wicks Road in Macquarie Park in Sydney.

Woolworths’ property arm, Fabcot, has filed plans with the City of Ryde Council for a warehouse project at Macquarie Park, eight years after it acquired the site.

The distribution and customer fulfilment centre is proposed for a 1.4ha section of the 5.9ha site at 144 Wicks Road in the suburb 17km north-west of Sydney’s centre.

With a cost of more than $30 million, the proposal has been designated a State Significant Development. It is on exhibition.

The Nettleton Tribe Architects-designed building would have 32,402sq m of gross floor area and associated infrastructure. 

The proposal includes demolition and earthworks to make way for 28,762sq m of warehouse space and 1345sq m of ancillary office space.

Epping and Waterloo roads border the site that is 350m from the Macquarie Park Metro station—the northern section of the site is atop the Metro rail tunnel.

Fabcot acquired the 5.9ha site from Hydrox Nominees in August of 2017 for $33.5 million, according to CoreLogic property records. 

The warehouse would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week under the proposal. A scoping report for the project estimates a cost of $132.6 million.
