Oct. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - self-storage.net.au was launched on the 1st of October 2012 and is a new blog focused on the innovative self storage industry in Australia.

The self storage industry is a huge industry in Australia with turnover exceeding $1.5B per annum with over 1,100 self storage facilities operating in this country. In the United State the self storage generated more than $22 billion in annual revenues (2011).

Increased competition and innovation has been a key driver for expansion of the industry and our new site will be covering all the exciting news in the local market'

New inovations from monitored remote camera security with 24x7 access, green lighting to reduce costs (LED), premium removal services and super convenient mobile self storage where the units are delivered to the customers location are some of the new areas the blog will cover. Growth in the local industry is expected to continue at a fast pace over the next 5 years as technology improves services, lowers costs and new services are implemented.

Consolidation is expected to increase as overseas operators view Australia as a key market with high per capita  income and urbanised populations. Local self storage companies are continuing to expand operations by purchasing regional operators and securing strategic locations in developing urban areas.
