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.

Plans have been lodged to build a high-quality gym spanning 1,500 square metres at the newly-opened Sungate Business Park in Caboolture.

The fitness facility from Eildon Capital Group is expected to join established businesses that have opened and will also soon open in the new Moreton Bay shopping centre, such as Coles, Bunnings, Chemist Warehouse, PetStock and KFC. The $80-million Sungate Business Park had its grand opening on the 18th of November 2022.

Per DA/2022/4505, the gym will operate 24/7 to offer flexibility for its members and will include facilities like weights, circuit training, cardio functional training, hydrotherapy, massage rooms, total body fitness assessment rooms, as well as change and lockers rooms.

The DA also indicated that the location is part of the SunGATE Masterplan/Caboolture Shire Plan that has received preliminary approval. The gym’s construction will not impact the landscape of the approved precincts.

As a 24/7 facility, an acoustic assessment has been done to ascertain that the gym will have proper noise mitigation measures so as not to disturb surrounding residential areas. The developers also underscored that there is an economic need for a new gym in the area to promote healthy living options for the locals.

“Over the next decade the population of the catchment is expected to grow by nearly 12,000 people, resulting in demand for an additional three gyms in this area,” the DA cited. “As such, with an increasing undersupply there is considered strong demand for a gym on the subject site.”

Moreton Bay Regional Council is still assessing the DA, subject to public notification.
