In essence, the term 'bulky goods retailing' refers to the merchandising of goods that are bulky.

Bulky goods retail categories include furniture, whitegoods, electrical equipment, bedding and manchester, lighting, automotive parts, camping and outdoor equipment, tools, building materials and DIY and homemaker products.

Membership of the Bulky Goods Retailers Association includes some of the best-known retail names and brands in the country. Retailers like Freedom Furniture, Beacon Lighting, Spotlight, Supercheap Auto, Fantastic Furniture, Barbeques Galore, Harvey Norman, Forty Winks, OZ Design and Bunnings.

And we’re supported by leading bulky goods property developers, investors and agents including Valad Property Group, Charter Hall Group, CB Richard Ellis and The Belgrave Group of Companies.

Uncertainty surrounding the location of bulky goods premises is the key concern for BGRA members because it threatens the future growth of bulky goods retailing in Australia.

The uncertainty stems from two factors: the recognition of bulky goods zones identified in planning policy, and the varied approach by state governments towards the definition of what constitutes bulky goods premises.
