Keep Your Parcels Safe This Holiday Season

As we approach the busy shopping and delivery period into the holiday season, we want to help residents in the City of Kwinana make sure their parcels arrive safely and aren’t left vulnerable on the front doorstep.

Why it matters

  • More deliveries = more opportunity for parcels to be left unattended.
  • Packages left on porches are at risk of being damaged, stolen, or forgotten.
  • Choosing safer delivery options means fewer worries and more peace of mind for you and your neighbours.

Safer delivery options you can use

Here are three practical options to consider for receiving your parcels safely:

  1. Apply for the Parcel Mailbox Subsidy
  2. Use a trusted neighbour or family member:
    Talk to a neighbour you know and trust, and arrange for your parcel to be delivered to their address. This can help if no one is home when the delivery arrives. Building stronger neighbour-to-neighbour relationships can benefit us all, not just for parcel deliveries, but for general community safety.
  3. Get you parcel delivered straight to your local Post Office
  4. Request a signature to receive your parcel
  5. Use a 24/7 Parcel Locker with Australia Post (free, easy & secure):
    Instead of having parcels left on your doorstep, you can select a Parcel Locker as your delivery address.
  • Parcel Lockers are free to use for receiving parcels.
  • Accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Convenient local location: Kwinana Marketplace Parcel Locker, 4 Chisham Ave, Kwinana Town Centre WA 6167.

How it works:

  1. Create a MyPost account with Australia Post
  2. In your MyPost account, choose the Parcel Locker as your delivery address.
  3. Shop online, enter the locker address at checkout.
  4. Once your parcel arrives in the locker you’ll be notified and you can pick it up when it suits you.
  5. Note: Parcels must be under 16 kg and no larger than 35 × 44 × 61 cm.


Already received a "Sorry We Missed You" card?

If you receive a card to collect your parcel, did you know you can pick up your parcels from theKwinana Marketplace Australia Post back door between 7:30 am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday?

This provides an easy and secure option for collection — no need to wait in long queues or worry about parcels being left outside. Simply take your collection card and valid ID and ring the bell at the back door located near 24/7 parcel lockers.
