Greenacre. 200th outlet

Bunnings opened its 200th store in Greenacre, with 18 stores under construction, as part of $1,5 billion, 78-store building program over the next three years, in Australia and New Zealand.

Castle Hill. $60 million Bunnings store

Bunnings expects to open a $60 million store in Castle Hill next year. The two-level store will be built on a 1.97-hectare site and will be on two levels on the corner of Victoria Avenue and Salisbury Road. It will provide employment for 270 staff as well as 345 construction jobs. Bunnings hopes the development will strengthen its network in north-west Sydney. It opened a store in Seven Hills this year and will start building a store in Rouse Hill in early 2011.
