A significant industrial development has been proposed for Wacol Warehouse Complex, with plans lodged for thirty new units at 440 Progress Road.

The application, designed by HAL Architects, outlines a project to transform the partially cleared 7,835.78 square metre site.
The Wacol Warehouse Complex development envisions a complex of thirty individual warehouse units and accommodation for an on-site caretaker. The proposed structures, with a maximum height of 15 metres, would cover 6,510 square metres of the site, totaling 12,430 square metres of floor area.
This will include 123 car parking spaces and 17 bicycle spaces to accommodate workers and visitors. The plans also show provisions for landscaping along pedestrian pathways, enhancing the site’s visual appeal. Two separate entry and exit points will facilitate vehicle access to the site.

Furthermore, the development has been designed to accommodate Medium Rigid Vehicles (MRVs) and Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs), ensuring smooth operational flow for businesses.
HAL Architects emphasised that the design incorporates measures to minimise the visual impact of the warehouse buildings, utilising various construction materials and colours to break up the facade. The architects also indicated that the development would cater to the needs of nearby residential areas.
The relevant authorities will now assess the application. The project is expected to generate employment opportunities and contribute to the local economy if approved.
