“The site is currently improved by a factory and associated industrial buildings utilised by Hume Masterpanel Pty Ltd for the manufacture of door panels with an Energex electricity substation also located centrally on the site,” the application notes.
“The land forms part of an expanding industrial area and designated for regionally significant business and industrial uses.
“The land is surrounded by industrial estates including Citiswich Estate and the Parkwest Business Park opposite the site to the south in Hume Drive.
“Recently constructed industrial premises, as well as a gym, are located adjoining the site and nearby including along Hoepner Road as well as opposite in Hume Drive with established industrial uses further to the north including aluminium and beverage manufacturing plants.”
