 ATTACHMENT 2 – (MCU22/0051) – ACTING COORDINATOR PLANNING REPORT


REPORT
1.    PROPOSAL
This application seeks approval to establish a hardware and trade supplies yard on a vacant area
to the north of the existing Bunnings Warehouse at Noosaville. The applicant advises the trade
yard will provide for timber and trade supplies primarily to professional builders and trades
customers, rather than being targeted to retail customers, and is expected to operate
independently of the existing bunnings store on the southern portion of the site. The applicant
proposes no changes to the existing Bunnings Warehouse store which has an area of 7,592m2.
The proposed built form will comprise 2 levels, set into the site’s slope with parking for 57 cars
provided in an under croft level beneath the enclosed trade yard for ‘walk in’ customers. A short
term parking area (6 light loading bays) for customers collecting large quantities or bulky items is
also proposed to the building’s rear to enable customers to load from the upper level of the building.
A separate entry and exit are proposed to and from Gateway Drive.
The proposed trade yard will have a gross floor area of 1087m2 and has been designed along a
similar theme to the existing bunnings store, with concrete panels, and upper and lower levels
distinguishable through the white and green colour scheme. The proposed building comprises 2
storeys and is 12.125 metres in height measured to the roof pitch. The trade yard is proposed to
operate Monday to Sunday, 6am to 6pm.
