Bunnings to be built next to Jimboomba Mitre 10 in Logan

Bunnings has had a development application approved to build a new store right next door to an existing Mitre 10.

Hardware giant Bunnings is officially moving in next door to a locally owned Mitre 10 in rural Logan.

Jimboomba is set to be home to Logan’s fifth Bunnings Warehouse, with a development application recently being approved by Logan City Council.

The Bunnings will be right next door to the locally owned Mitre 10, owned by the Woodmans brothers. They also own the Mitre 10 based at Beenleigh.

After only being open since 2018, Jimboomba Mitre 10 will be facing a fierce competitor.

Just last month a local family announced the devastating closure of the Loganholme Mitre 10, saying they just couldn’t survive when a Bunnings was opened directly across from them.

According to the approved development application the new 15,776 sqm Bunnings will be moving into 22-26 Anders Street Jimboomba.

The development is proposed to operate from 6am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Included on the warehouse site will be; a main warehouse area, main entry, bagged goods canopy, outdoor nursery, timber trade sales area and a cafe.

As part of the development the intersection between Spring Street and Anders Street will have a variety of changes, including the addition of traffic islands.

Bunnings has been contacted for comment. Woodmans Mitre 10 has also been contacted for comment.
