Works have started on a 16,500 square-metre warehouse, office and showroom for Toyota Material Handling Australia in Dandenong South.
The facility, based on a 30,000 square-metre lot in Discovery Road, will assemble, sell, hire and service forklifts, scissor lifts, skid steer loaders, sweepers and scrubbers, pallet jacks, elevated work platforms and automatic-guided vehicles.
It includes nearly 4000 square metres of offices, and a demonstration area to showcase excavators.
Vaughan Constructions and Keystone Property & Project Management were appointed to deliver the project.
“Toyota Material Handling Australia has a peerless reputation for its pursuit of quality, perfection and reliability and we at Vaughan are delighted to again be associated with that brand,” Vaughan director Mark Byrne said.
“The features of this build really exemplify the workplace philosophy and culture of the Toyota
company and its recognition that its staff is its most important asset.
“To that end the overall design has an undeniable emphasis on workplace amenity including a
large office area of nearly 4,000 square metres, a high quality fitout and features such as
expansive breakout areas and extensive landscaping including integrated courtyards.’’
Toyota Material Handling Australia was unable to comment by deadline.
The project is due for completion in February 2023.
