Bundaberg Brewed Drinks

Bundaberg | Queensland | Australia

Bundaberg Brewed Drinks has been producing premium soft drinks for more than 50 years. With growing popularity for the product within Australia and worldwide, it was time for a major factory upgrade.

A ‘Master Brewery’ was built by Hutchinson Builders to cater to the escalating demand for production and export. Located in Bundaberg’s southern suburbs this new facility combines production, warehousing, logistics and more, under one roof. It also features modern office spaces designed for collaborative work and private refreshment, ensuring staff can work efficiently and comfortably.

The aim of the landscape was to blend the new brewery seamlessly into its surroundings, while creating a notable destination for tourists. A striking entry statement, complete with signage walls and iconic trees marks the site as a place to visit.

Timber elements throughout the landscape pay homage to the original factory now known as ‘The Bundaberg Barrel,’ which remains open for tastings and tours.

The landscape design addresses the site’s location on the interface between industrial buildings and farmland, with large trees and tiered understory planting creating a natural visual buffer along the road frontages.

Native vegetation maintains consistency between the site and surrounding environment, while ensuring a hardy and drought resistant landscape suited to its locality.

Stormwater swales and bio-filtration basins mitigated the overland flow challenges presented by the site’s scale and typography. Designing these to be organically shaped and integrated seamlessly within the landscape, added aesthetic appeal to their practical function.

With the ‘Master Brewery’, Bundaberg Brewed Drinks boosts production while balancing its traditional heritage with innovative practices and environmental stewardship, ensuring it remains a beloved brand for generations to come.
