The new site will replace the existing Bundaberg warehouse with all staff transferring to the new location. Bunnings has said it will invest about $39 million in the development, fit-out and stock for the new store on the more than 5ha Bundaberg site. It will have a total area of more than 18,000sqm, including the main warehouse, indoor timber trade sales area, building materials and landscape supplies yard and outdoor nursery, as well as an indoor playground, cafe and parking for approximately 380 cars. Bunnings chief operating officer Peter Davis said Bunnings was committed to supporting local communities. "Bunnings' investment in the Bundaberg area will provide great job opportunities for the local community, with over 250 positions expected to be available in the Bunnings team, representing strong employment and on-the-job training opportunities for local residents and school leavers," he said.
