Bunnings will build a warehouse of 8100sq m and the court said the site was on the Frankton Flats, "the principal gateway to the Queenstown urban area''. Bunnings said the site was ideal to serve the booming Queenstown construction and trade supply market. That would therefore lower the cost of housing in the area, Bunnings argued. The new building would not be the standard Bunnings Warehouse and signage and building orientation had also been changed, the decision said.
