Although the use areas for the two businesses are split approximately 60% industrial business
and 40% garden centre, the Industrial use remains economically the primary use and the garden
centre is associated with and an adjunct to the primary use.
It should also be noted the large scale items for sale makes it difficult for the business to comply
with the 20% retail area permitted under the Planning Scheme for an industrial business.
