Overview/brief

Family owned and operated and founded in 1993, Direct Freight Express (DFE) is one of Australia’s leading road freight companies with over 60 depots currently forming the DFE operation across Australia.

Challenges

Overcoming Site Constraints

Given the large area dedicated to external hardstand and swales, site access and manoeuvrability proved challenging throughout the project. The limited space for amenities and laydown required careful coordination to ensure safe and efficient construction while maintaining functionality for heavy vehicle movement.

Solution

A Seamless Partnership in Delivery

As a repeat client, Direct Freight Express and AUSPAN Group already shared a strong working relationship — a foundation that enabled open communication and seamless collaboration from concept through completion.

AUSPAN’s integrated design and project management approach focused on maximising usable hardstand area for truck and trailer parking while optimising traffic flow and site efficiency. Through early involvement in feasibility, budgeting, and design development, AUSPAN ensured the new facility would meet DFE’s immediate operational needs while supporting long-term growth.

At AUSPAN, we’re proud to have delivered another successful project for Direct Freight Express. From feasibility to final handover, the collaboration between our team and theirs was seamless. This facility in Kenwick reflects our shared commitment to practical design, build quality, and long-term performance.
