Overview

Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Agency and Transport Services (NATS) was established in Perth in 1984 to handle the requirements of all Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Community stores and to provide them with a regular bulk delivery service from the NATS Perth warehouse direct to each of the community stores.

NATS is a unit trust-based enterprise, owned by all Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Communities as unit holders. NATS owns a large warehouse complex at 254 Welshpool Road, Welshpool, in Perth, Western Australia. The warehouse stocks a vast range of wholesale items. From its Perth warehouse NATS operates a regular weekly (alternate dry and freezer) bulk truck freight service transporting all kinds of goods and equipment to the Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Community Stores and Warehouses. NATS’ primary function is to provide community stores with high quality, nutritious food at reasonable prices, including fruit, vegetables, dairy products and a full range of grocery items.

The supply of these commodities is a major factor in improving community health standards on the Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Lands. Warehouse mark-ups are around 6%, except there is no mark-up on fruit and vegetables
