Brunswick locals have reacted angrily to a Bunnings proposal to build a warehouse off Lygon Street with 250 underground parking spaces, in what the hardware giant says would add 50 local jobs.
Local woman Andrea Bunting has organised with around 70 of her neighbours to fight the development, which she said is almost completely surrounded by homes and would overshadow them in winter.Metropol Planning's proposal for a Bunnings Warehouse store on Glenlyon Road in Brunswick.“We can’t find any other Bunnings that’s almost completely surrounded by homes. This is just unprecedented.”
“We're looking to move to a new store with space to offer a wider range of products that would also create around 50 further jobs for locals, in addition to the 50 team members currently employed at the Brunswick store.” She said a Bunnings Warehouse belonged in an industrial area where there were fewer pedestrians and cyclists.
“There is sufficient space for two trucks to queue off-street within the accessway if necessary, to wait for the loading bay to become available [at Pitt Street],” a report said.
