Whilst residents in the Yarramalong Valley get regular mail deliveries to their letterboxes and can post letters at the “Red Box” in Yarramalong village, larger parcels need to be posted or picked up at Kulnura LPO or Wyong PO.
Australia Post offers a Parcel Locker service that would reduce travelling and provide an improves service for Yarramalong Valley residents.
Australia Post 24/7 Parcel Lockers allow you to securely collect your parcels anytime. When your package arrives at your chosen locker you will receive an SMS and email with a 6-digit PIN or a QR code. To collect your parcel, simply enter your unique 6-digit access code or scan the QR code from the AusPost phone app.
Lockers are completely free to use. To start using them, sign up for a MyPost account to find and select a locker location near you as your delivery address.
The Yarramalong Pharmacy site has been considered a possible location for Parcel Lockers and Mena is supportive but will need agreement by Australia Post. Once Australia Post is contacted they will assess the site.
Availability is subject to site suitability and approvals.
Australia Post covers site assessment, installation and ongoing maintenance. Electricity costs are excluded.
Alan Smedley has done some research on this so maybe a discussion on the Yarramalong FB page could gauge support for this and get Australia Post interested.
