IKEA will build a vast new distribution centre as part of an expansion in Australia that will include an online presence.


Swedish behemoth IKEA has flagged the rollout of more stores and an online presence in Australia as it prepares to build one of the country's biggest furniture distribution centres.

The retailer has announced it will build a 70,000 square metre supply and logistics centre in Marsden Park in Sydney's west. IKEA said the new centre will provide an additional 50 jobs, employing than 150 workers in total.

There are eight IKEA stores in Australia, including one owned by a franchisee, and a ninth is set to open in North Lakes, north of Brisbane, by the end of 2016.
