The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question:

(1) Australia Post constantly monitors its network of more than 4,000 outlets for changes to customer numbers, local community/business needs and leasing agreements to ensure the network matches demand.

(2) There are no definitive plans at this stage to close any outlets in the electorate of Bradfield. Australia Post understands the importance of ensuring that communities have access to local postal services and commits to keeping customers and all other stakeholders fully informed when it is considering any changes.
