The table below consolidates the key facts about the new Bunnings Mount Barker location.

Is the new Bunnings at Mount Barker open yet?

Yes, the new Bunnings Mount Barker is open and trading. The store has moved from its previous location to a larger site at the corner of Prices Highway and Mount Barker Road in Littlehampton. Bunnings Australia confirmed the move on Facebook, stating the store is now in a “bigger and better” space (Bunnings Australia Facebook).

When did the new Bunnings Mount Barker open?

The exact opening date has not been publicly disclosed by Bunnings or Wesfarmers. The Facebook announcement does not carry a specific day, and the official store page lists only the current address and phone number (Bunnings official store page). What is clear is that the transition from the old Mount Barker store to the new Littlehampton site has already taken place.

What is the exact opening date of Bunnings Mount Barker?

At this time, no confirmed date is available in public sources. The store is operating, but the precise grand-opening milestone remains unannounced. Shoppers can visit the site now; the store is listed as open on Waze live map listing with weekday hours from 06:30 to 21:00.

The pattern: Bunnings let the store opening speak for itself rather than staging a publicised grand-opening date.

How big is the new Mt Barker Bunnings?

Bunnings has not released official square footage for the Mount Barker store. The Facebook announcement describes it as “bigger and better,” and local shoppers have noted the expanded layout compared to the previous site. For context, the largest Bunnings in South Australia is Edwardstown (Wikipedia – Bunnings Warehouse).

What is the square footage of the new Bunnings Mount Barker?

No public record of the floor area exists in the provided sources. The store is a Garden Center format, which typically ranges between 3,000 and 5,000 square metres for Bunnings, but this is speculative.

How does the size compare to the previous store?

The old Mount Barker store occupied a smaller footprint in the town centre. The new location, on a main road at Littlehampton, offers more space for garden supplies, timber, and parking. Without exact figures, the “bigger” claim rests on the company’s own social media statement.

The implication: Bunnings is prioritising space and range over publishing precise specifications.

“New Full-Line Supermarket Right On Your Doorstep”

Peet Limited (Peet news release)

For Mount Barker residents and Adelaide Hills tradies, the new Bunnings delivers on its promise of more space and a better range — but the lack of a confirmed opening date and official hours means a phone call before the trip is still wise. For the shopper who values certainty, the online ordering system offers a fallback: check stock, reserve, and pick up without circling the car park. Shoppers who can wait may benefit from the larger retail precinct maturing, with the supermarket and other tenants filling in the gaps.

For those looking for a broader range of retail options, the Kmart Mt Barker store offers a convenient alternative for general merchandise in the same area.
