BUNNINGS has appealed Stirling city council’s rejection of its retrospective planning application for its Inglewood garden centre.

The Wesfarmers-owned hardware giant has operated a garden centre without planning permission since 1994, infuriating locals who’ve long complained about traffic problems.

Insufficient parking at the store, at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Beaufort Street, means customers frequently clog surrounding streets.

Bunnings is now hoping the unelected but powerful state administrative tribunal will overturn the council’s rejection.
