A national hardware and trade tools retailer has expanded its Toowoomba store, after plans were lodged with the council.
Applicant Bayswater Holding Pty Ltd submitted a proposal with the council last week to greatly increase the footprint of the Sydney Tools showroom on Taylor Street in Wilsonton.
The expansion would turn the existing multi-tenancy building into one space for Sydney Tools, along with extending the footprint to cater for two other businesses.
“The applicant, Bayswater Holdings Pty Ltd, is seeking to establish three showrooms over the subject site, by converting the existing building in to a single showroom and constructing two new showrooms, one to the east and one to the west of the refurbished building,” the report by Milford Planning.
“The existing building has been refurbished to form one building as opposed multiple tenancies and Sydney Tools occupy and are operating from the refurbished building.
“In terms of the end users of the two new showrooms, these will be complementary uses to Sydney Tools, for example safety work wear and equipment, so that patrons can conveniently visit multiple businesses during a visit to the site.”
Sydney Tools has more than 60 locations across Australia, specialising in the wholesale and retail of industrial tools, consumables and accessories.
“Sydney Tools’ staff are the most experienced in the business, and our customers can be confident in receiving the right advice and solutions for cordless power tools, generators, compressors, hand tools and accessories,” the website said.
“We provide on-site sales and technical expertise from our business development managers and account management team to ensure we provide technical expertise and service to customers.”
The council has yet to respond to the application.
