Exell Street Multi-Unit Industrial

A multi-unit industrial development on a technically challenging, flood-prone site. Designed for heavy-vehicle access, operational efficiency and long-term resilience. A flexible, functional complex that balances practicality with thoughtful site planning.

Located on a flood-prone zone, this project in Banksmeadow transformed a challenging site into a 14-unit industrial complex with thoughtful design, high function and strong street presence. The design includes:

  • 14 industrial units, each with full truck access
  • A raised site level, so floodwater can flow safely over and through the grounds
  • A sub-floor “tanked” below flood level, with sump and pump-back systems that exceed standard compliance
  • Vehicle paths designed for forward manoeuvring by large rigid vehicles and semi-trailers
  • Parking in the sub-floor, beyond council’s minimum requirements
  • A separate street-facing commercial entry and office area for each unit
  • Established casuarina trees kept at the Exell Street exit – vital habitat for native black cockatoos

Car parking takes up a lot of site area, and the site also had to be raised above flood level. Putting the required parking in the sub-floor did both: it lifted the site, and it freed up the ground for more floor space, making the whole development more efficient.

Interior approach from McPherson Street. Site level is raised as it is a flood vale zone. This allows for water to move over, and through the site.

Each factory unit has a separate commercial entry and office area. All of the established Casuarinas, a vital food source to the local Black Cockatoos, were retained and improved.

This area is below the flood level and is 'tanked' to prevent water ingress. Sump and pump back-up systems were provided in excess of council conditions

High bay doors allow container access with side loading, a very important feature for efficient industrial use. Ceiling heights of 8.5 m give pallet efficiency, as well as comfortable overhead space for the office areas.
