Artarmon Post Office Closure

The decision by Australia Post to close the Artarmon Post Shop is deeply disappointing and will negatively impact residents and businesses who rely on having this essential service locally available.

 

The Member for Willoughby, Tim James, has urged Australia Post to investigate relocating the shop within Artarmon.

 

“The closure of the Artarmon Post Shop will significantly impact local businesses and residents who rely on its services,” Mr James said.

 

“I understand the shop is at the end of its lease and the location is intended for a new development, but the solution is finding a new location within Artarmon shops.”

 

“Artarmon’s local population and industry continues to grow and I cannot accept that it is the right decision for Australia Post to leave.”

 

“This post office provides essential postal and financial services that support businesses and the personal needs of the local community.”

 

“This is a hammer blow for Hampden Road after significant disruptions from the streetscape upgrade project.”

 

Mr James is engaging with Australia Post, community groups, and local council to ensure Australia Post remains in Artarmon beyond the planned closure on the 12th of March 2025.

 

“Alternate post shops outlined by Australia Post are not within walking distance for many residents and have little or no parking in close proximity to the shop as is currently the case in Artarmon,” Mr James added.
