Summary
Secure and Growing Business in a Prime Retail Location.
Potential
Exceptional Lease and Future Flexibility
The existing lease is highly favourable - very low rent, CPI reviews only, and no renovation clause - providing long term cost certainty and peace of mind.
Importantly, the owner has also received ongoing interest from a nearby shopping centre, which has sought to bring the post office back for more than a decade. In 2022, the shopping centre made a formal offer to provide a fully renovated 120 sqm premises, including around 500 PO boxes, at their cost (it was valued at approximately $300,000).
Skills
No previous experience necessary. You need to be confident in your ability to run a small business. Full training, support and handover will be provided by Australia Post (5 weeks training) and the current owner
Lease
Strategic advantage to either negotiate another favourable lease at the current site or explore relocation.
Reason for Sale
New business interest
About the Business
Consistent Growth and Strong Financials
This well established post office demonstrates year on year growth and robust profitability.
Australia Post commissions have steadily increased over the past four financial years:
FY2022: $213,851
FY2023: $230,876
FY2024: $251,900

Excellent Location in a Busy Shopping Centre
The post office occupies a high visibility position within a thriving retail hub that includes a Coles supermarket and a wide range of specialty stores. The shopping centre attracts strong daily foot traffic, ensuring a steady flow of customers and parcel business throughout the year.
Operated Under Management - Ideal for an Owner Operator

Proven Performance and Growth Potential
Having traded successfully for many years under the current ownership, the post office has shown impressive resilience even during challenging economic conditions. The surrounding area’s population has been expanding rapidly over the past two years, further strengthening the customer base and future growth outlook.
The business is well positioned for continued growth through:
- Active, owner driven management
- Improved customer service and community engagement
- Retail product expansion and promotional opportunities
- Enhanced parcel and banking services
