Postal push partial success at centre

A COMMUNITY push to establish a post office at Aspendale Gardens has failed to deliver the hoped for outcome but Australia Post has installed an Express Post box at the shopping centre.

The Aspendale Gardens Residents Association led the lobbying effort since the nearest post office is just over 4 kilometres away at Chelsea (‘Post office plan ‘under review’, The News 25/6/14).

The community group has all but admitted defeat in its bid to convince Australia Post to open a full post office at the Aspendale Gardens shopping centre at Narelle Drive but is pleased that locals can now conveniently send items in the mail by Express Post.

Express Post envelopes and satchels can be bought at the Aspendale Gardens newsagency within the shopping centre.

An Australia Post spokesperson said the new post box was installed last week (on Thursday 18 June).

“Aspendale residents have access to the Aspendale Gardens Post Point and a number of other nearby post offices, which are a short distance from the shopping centre.

“We are satisfied that our existing spread of outlets adequately meets the communities needs but will continue to monitor the growth in the area and the evolving needs of our customers.”

Earlier this month Australia Post CEO Ahmed Fahour announced 900 “managerial and support positions” would be lost as part of a restructure.

The federal government owned company faces rising losses as fewer people post letters despite the increase in parcels being posted due to online purchases by consumers.
