Spotlight on... Kirrawee

History KSS Kirrawee is located deep in the heart of Sutherland Shire. (Known to the locals as “The Shire”). Just 18kms south of Sydney Airport, 8kms to Cronulla and the beaches and 3kms to the Royal National Park, the second oldest national park in the world. The Shire is at the end of the Southern Suburbs of Sydney and the gateway to Illawara South Coast and Wollongong. Kirrawee is a green and leafy suburb and we are privileged to be surrounded by large native trees of all kinds. We are located in an industrial/residential area. The premises in Bath Road was previously a frozen fruit and vegetable business known as Chefs Pride. Kennards acquired this property and it was converted to storage in stages from October 1993. A further 156 units were added in 2003 giving over 4,200 square metres of storage space.

The Team The Team comprises of Myself, Mike Howard as Centre Manager since July 1997 and David Courtney (Assistant Manger) who moved from Camperdown KSS in June 2008. We are proud to be a training hub for new entrants to KSS and help provide them with a sound start to their new careers.

the addition of some new neighbours like an Auto Carwash and Truck Rental business we are now on a busy road. Bunnings are also erecting one of their largest hardware sites on our corner. Site Features We have an occupancy of 92% and have maintained a high occupancy for years, with our customers enjoying great features like our store presentation, 24 hour access, large loading areas and our tea and coffee lounge.

We have one competitor only in the area. We have a friendly mix of both commercial and domestic customers here. The high number of commercial customers sees us very busy with receipt and dispatch every day. We are also kept on our toes with a daily regime of cleaning/maintenance to keep up the high standard of presentation.
