Bunnings’ dream of a new megastore near Bunbury just got crushed — the Western Australian Planning Commission shut it down, calling the proposed Dalyellup site unsuitable for retail since it’s earmarked for housing. Local leaders and businesses are rallying behind the decision, warning it could undermine Bunbury’s regional status and steal land desperately needed for homes. While Bunnings insists the housing impact would be minimal, officials sided with preserving the structure plan — a tough call, but one that prioritizes community needs over commerce. The home improvement giant is now reviewing its options as this showdown underscores the growing battle between retail expansion and housing shortages in Australia’s booming regions.
