A NEW parcel locker will be installed in Frankston to accommodate online shoppers.
Australia Post estimates that online shopping spending is up 13 percent from the year prior, and is installing nine new parcel lockers across the state to meet demand. Australia Post head of Last Mile Victoria, Theresa Smith, said “what we’re seeing in Victoria is a growing demand for more flexible and secure delivery options. Our latest Annual eCommerce Report shows online spending in Victoria reached $20 billion in 2025.”
“The report highlights how delivery preferences are evolving alongside this growth. More customers are seeking greater choice, with 69 percent wanting a wider range of delivery options, while security and ease of use are also key drivers of parcel locker adoption. Once customers are aware of parcel lockers, the majority say they would consider using them, reflecting a strong appetite for convenient, out-of-home delivery solutions,” Smith said.
“Expanding our parcel locker network in Victoria is a direct response to these changing behaviours, giving Victorians greater choice and control over where and when they collect their parcels. Whether it’s after hours, on the commute, or closer to home, it’s a practical way to meet changing expectations across both metropolitan and regional communities.”
Posting options in Frankston have been more limited since the 54-58 Wells Street post office closed in 2024.
