Historic Brunswick shopfront with a new chapter ahead
Steeped in local history and positioned prominently in the heart of Brunswick Junction, 27 Ommaney Road presents a distinctive opportunity to secure a commercial property with recognised heritage significance, genuine character, flexible spaces and a longstanding connection to the local community.
Today, the building retains much of the character that speaks to its past. Its traditional street frontage incorporates two separate retail areas, each with its own entrance and display windows, creating flexibility for businesses seeking individual or complementary commercial spaces.
Internally, the property offers two distinct store areas, each supported by additional rear work and office space. The flexible configuration provides scope for a variety of commercial requirements, with sink facilities and a separate external toilet adding practical functionality.
High ceilings, timber flooring to sections of the property, original architectural details and traditional shopfront proportions contribute to the building's character. For an owner-occupier or investor, the configuration provides an interesting foundation for a range of potential commercial uses, subject to Shire and any other relevant approvals.
Importantly, the building at 27 Ommaney Road is recognised for its heritage significance and is included on the Shire of Harvey's Local Heritage Survey as a Category 2 place.
The heritage significance relates to the building, with development approval generally required for proposed works that have the potential to impact the external appearance of the building, as well as any proposed demolition or redevelopment. Internal works alone generally do not require development approval.
Prospective buyers are encouraged to make their own enquiries directly with the Shire of Harvey regarding the property's heritage status, applicable requirements and any approvals that may be required for their intended use, alterations or future development.
With prominent street frontage, established surroundings and the Brunswick Junction Post Office positioned opposite, the property occupies a highly identifiable position within the town centre.
For those looking beyond a conventional commercial premises, 27 Ommaney Road offers an opportunity to become the next custodian of a property with a documented place in Brunswick Junction's history. Its recognised heritage significance, dual-shop configuration and central position provide the foundations for its next commercial chapter, while respecting the history that has come before.
