Bulky goods in
business zones
inappropriate
Council has
permitted bulky goods
premises at 461 Victoria
Rd
B5 is the appropriate
zone
Planning Proposal for the site should be submitted to
Council.
Recommendation – No change to DLEP 2011 and that a
planning proposal be lodged with Council for consideration,
rezoning the property B4.
Bulky goods premises is defined as a building used for the
sale , hire or display of bulky goods being of such size or
weight to require a large handling display area and includes
goods such as floor and window supplies , furniture ,
household electrical goods and swimming pools.
The retail nature of bulky goods and its likely impact on
reducing the land available for industrial uses is such that
they should be considered on an individual basis through a
Planning Proposal.
DoPI on 20 June 2012 advised Council of the following;
“Our preference is to exclude bulky goods retail from
industrial zones as an additional use across the zone
because the inclusion of 'bulky goods' is now considered
fundamentally to be a retail use that is likely to reduce the
amount of industrial land
The preference now is to either:
1. cluster permissibility of these uses in a suitable area
(close to commercial is ideal but may not be achievable)
and to give them a B5 zoning or
2. allow the use by a Schedule 1 amendment for the
particular site based on suitability criteria (less preferable
but less damaging to the whole zone)
In either case the PP should assess the proposal against
