my local po, page-18

Thanks Tony. There are some interesting stats there.

Although I think that an initial roll-out with the mystery client of TZ's will be small; any notable increase in online ordering to the trialed postcodes will surely lead to a national roll-out over future years, where the offering will have to cover most of the population in urban areas.

They will probably be at petrol stations and supermarkets, allowing access to the lockers all day, every day, bypassing Australia Post's pick-up system.

Petrol Stations

2006: There are currently 8,000 service stations in Australia


Supermarkets

Total: 834 + 741 = 1,575 Coles and Woolies locations

Rail stations (as mentioned in THIS interview)

Sydney - 307 stations
Melbourne - 200 stations
Perth - 69 Station
etc

Of course, the above is all a best case scenario. However I think that the situation with e-retailing has reached a point where a success has to be made of this offering, even if it means significant capital outlay. The winners will be those that innovate and offer on a grand scale.
