Scoop

Hello, im looking at emigrating to Australia in June next year with my Australian Girlfriend on a De-Facto relationship Visa.
I am currently a Stock Control/Inventory Supervisor in a large Distribution Centre for major Supermarket retailer here in the UK. Does anybody know the locations in Sydney of the large Distribution centre's of the leading supermarket retailers i.e Coles, Woolworths? my early research is leading me to believe these are around the North west of Sydney.

I have also been looking at possible districts to move too, and the areas around the Northern Districts of Sydney look very appealing - Carlingford, Beecroft. Could anyone give me more info on these areas?.. are they just Suburbs away from the City, or can you easily socialise in the Northern Districts?, good pubs/bars, shopping etc..

I don't know where the distribution centres are - but Woolworths offices are currently at Yennora, Strathfield and Town Hall. They will be moving to a new head office at Norwest business park (past Castle Hill, near Bella Vista Waters), but I don't know when that'll be exactly.

Beecroft is a "leafy suburb" on the train line to the city (about 45 mins), it's probably more expensive than Carlingford. It has good schools in the area apparently.

If it's of any use, try some of the logistics companies.
I believe Toll handle some of the warehousing for Coles.
And P&O Cold Logistics do some for Woolies.
