SAAS Aus Pty Ltd trading as Synergy Access and Scaffolds(SAAS) is proposing an industrial sub-division at 2 and 10 Bowman Rd, Moss Vale. As part of the development, three modern and sustainable industrial buildings are proposed, which will be used for scaffolding storage and distribution to support the building sector across the Southern Highlands, Illawarra and the Sydney region.

The industrial buildings will include staff and truck parking, office spaces, staff amenities and training rooms for staff.

The Site is located within the southern section of the MossVale Enterprise Corridor, an area declared as suitable for industrial and commercial development. The development aims to provide much-needed space for storage and distribution of scaffolding materials for the SAAS business.

The development will assist in creating jobs and boost economic growth within Southern Highlands Region. The project will inject about $27.5 million during construction and will create 60 construction jobs over a two-year period, and 120 ongoing jobs once operational.

The design of the development proposes several sustainability initiatives to protect the local environment. These are:

• Plant selection for landscaping will be from the SouthernHighlands Shale Woodlands in the Sydney Basin Bioregion’sendangered ecological community;
• Rainwater harvesting systems installed at each industrial buildings will provide water for irrigation, toilet flushing, and other on-site uses to reduce the use of potable water;
• All stormwater runoff from hardstand areas, roadways and car parks will be intercepted by Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) to reduce sediment, nutrient and pollutants in runoff;
• Belowground on-site detention (OSD) systems with discharge controls to manage water quality and quantity exiting the Site;
• Isolation valves fitted to prevent firewater discharging from the Site in the unlikely event of a fire;
• Regular sweeping and cleaning schedules to keep the local area clean;
• Use of materials containing recycled content in construction; and
• Large solar panels arrays will be installed on the roof of each warehouse to meet energy requirements.

Neighbour and community feedback is being sought on the proposal. More information can be found in:
