Bridgestone, the market-leading tyre brand, has officially opened its new, state-of-the-art Queensland Distribution Centre at the Port West Industrial Estate (Stage 2) in Lytton, Port of Brisbane. The purpose-built facility is designed to support the company’s ongoing growth and improve logistics for its retail and wholesale network across Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Developed by Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) with McNab as the principal contractor, the facility spans a 5.16-hectare site and includes a 23,340 sqm warehouse, a 350 sqm dock office, 20,340 sqm of concrete hardstand, and nearly 3,800 sqm of car parking. The new centre represents a major step forward in Bridgestone’s logistics strategy, offering significant efficiency improvements in wharf-to-warehouse operations.
Sustainability has been a central focus in the design and construction of the facility. It draws 100% of its operational energy from renewable sources via PBPL’s embedded energy network and includes a 1MW rooftop solar system and a 1MW Battery Energy Storage System. Water-efficient fittings, shared fire services, and the use of low-carbon concrete and recycled materials in civil works further highlight the project’s environmental credentials.
Construction began in August 2024 and was completed by April 2025. The new facility forms part of Port West Industrial Estate Stage 2, which spans approximately 26.8 hectares and is being progressively developed to meet industrial demand. The estate is also home to Electrolux Group and adjoins Stage 1, which houses 11 global and national businesses, including Bunnings, Steelforce, and Fisher & Paykel.
