$48m multistorey Bunnings is currently in the pipeline for Adelaide’s east

Applications for a multimillion-dollar, two-storey Bunnings is being assessed as it looks to occupy more than a hectare of land in Adelaide’s east. See the details.

Applications for a new Bunnings store in Adelaide’s east have been submitted as the franchise works with developers to obtain planning and building consent.

Bunnings’ director of property and store development, Andrew Marks, said the store, on the corner of Glynburn Rd and Penna Ave, in Glynde, would create hundreds of jobs.

“The new store, if approved, would represent an investment by Bunnings of more than $48 million,” he said.

“It would also create more than 100 team member jobs in the local community, as well as approximately 130 jobs during construction.”

The store would have two levels of retail and would feature a main warehouse, an outdoor nursery, a timberyard and underground parking for nearly 300 cars.

The subject land is of an irregular shape with a total area of approximately 1.56ha.

“We believe the Glynde site is well positioned for a Bunnings store that will provide residents living in the area with a much wider range of home and lifestyle products,” Mr Marks said.

“We really welcome the recent planning system reform which has given us confidence to pursue the project and we hope it will simplify the development application process for projects such our proposed Glynde Warehouse.”
