Brisbane Warehouse Boom Raises Efficiency Standards

Brisbane’s industrial sector saw record investment in 2025, with 155,000 sq m of warehouse space delivered early in 2026 and leased immediately. Australia’s NABERS Energy ratings now benchmark warehouse efficiency, while equipment rental models — like those offered by All Lift Forklifts — cut emissions by one-third through shared utilization. Space heating consumes 39% of warehouse energy; lighting accounts for 15%. Adelaide and Perth more than doubled investment volumes in 2025. To meet national targets, resource productivity must rise 30% by 2030.
