The project, designed by SBA Architects, is set to be located at 407 Pumicestone Rd and 6 Eildon St.
The proposed Officeworks will feature a 1800 sqm retail showroom with a total gross floor area of 5600 sqm. The development also includes a three-storey storage facility standing 11.4m high, to be situated on the western boundary of the Big Fish Centre.
“In a wider context, the subject site forms part of the Big Fish Centre, which is a Mixed Industry and Business Centre located south-west of the Bruce Highway and Pumicestone Road junction,” planning documents read.
The plan encompasses 78 parking spaces to serve both the Officeworks and the storage facility. Access to the storage facility will be via Eildon St East.
“The buildings have been architecturally designed with the end user in mind and have substantial articulation, materials and colour to be visually interesting in the context of the centre,” planners noted.
According to the development application, the project aligns with the area’s economic needs and is expected to complement existing businesses in the Big Fish development. While the retail showroom wasn’t initially envisioned in the SunGATE Masterplan, developers argue that its size and scale are consistent with other large-format buildings in the centre.
“The retail showroom is well suited to the premises due to its prominence when viewed from the street and accessibility from the internal access road,” planners stated.
