Gympie

Total parcels for the first half of calendar year 2023 (26 weeks) - 107,595

Total parcels for the first half of calendar year 2024 (26 weeks) - 126,861

This is an increase of 17.9% year on year.

This means the second half of last year wasn't nearly as busy as the second half of the year before. However, this year's first half is busier than last year's period.

Last week was the busiest week since the second week of November last year.

Baringa

Total parcels Financial year ending 2023 (52 weeks) - 311,671

Total parcels Financial year ending 2024 (52 weeks) - 338,714

This is an increase of 8.68% year on year.

Total parcels for the first half of calendar year 2023 (26 weeks) - 145,467

Total parcels for the first half of calendar year 2024 (26 weeks) - 161,803

This is an increase of 11.23% year on year.

Yes, it has been a busier start to 2024, but it is not a massive jump compared to the last 12 months overall. Still, 11% growth is well above what I expected, and Australia Post is currently seeing.

The last three weeks are the first time we have had three consecutive weeks above 7,000 parcels since the end of November last year.
