When Coles was considering potential sites for its Victorian Distribution Centre, Council provided assurances that the planning process would be seamless and trouble free. This was a significant factor in choosing our preferred location. Securing a workforce of some 700 team members was daunting, but it was soon proven that there are many capable people in the region available to work.
