Yatala Freight Services

Yatala sits on the M1 Pacific Motorway roughly halfway between the Brisbane CBD and the Gold Coast — about 40 minutes to either. That dual-capital position makes the Yatala Enterprise Area the natural base for FMCG, beverage and retail DCs that need to supply both markets from a single footprint. Coca-Cola Amatil, Costco, Aldi, Liquorland and Toll are among the major tenants using Yatala for this reason.

M1 Pacific Motorway is the primary artery — ~40 km north to Brisbane CBD, ~30 km south to the Gold Coast. Both runs are under an hour off-peak, but the M1 is Australia's busiest urban motorway and peak-period transit can double. QFM books loads around peak windows where receiver access permits.

Pacific Motorway south into the Pacific Highway is the standard — Brisbane-Sydney via Pacific takes 12-13 hours road, 1-2 business days general freight. From Yatala the M1 heads directly to the NSW border crossing at Tweed Heads, so Yatala DCs are already on the right corridor without needing to transit Brisbane first.

High-volume beverage and packaged-goods freight is a common Yatala use case — we coordinate scheduled semi and B-Double departures, pallet exchange on CHEP and Loscam lanes, and dedicated pickup slots.

Yes. Yatala sits roughly 60 km south of the Bruce Highway's southern entry point at Brisbane — outbound loads heading to Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns transit through Brisbane and onto the Bruce, with typical Yatala-to-Cairns transit of 4-5 business days on general freight.
