Business Storage Braeside & Seaford | Melbourne SE Storage Units

Quick Answer:

StorHub operates two Melbourne south-east facilities: Braeside at 316 Governor Road (inside the Braeside Industrial Estate) and Seaford at 1 Compass Court. Both offer drive-up units, Micro Warehouses (25–50 m²), the free Business Hub, and month-to-month terms with no lock-in. 24/7 keyless SmartLock access. No bond. No fit out required.

Running a business in Melbourne's south-east means dealing with real space pressures. The Braeside Industrial Estate is one of Victoria's busiest commercial precincts. The Mornington Peninsula corridor from Seaford to Frankston is home to a growing mix of tradies, hospitality operators, and lifestyle businesses. A commercial warehouse lease in this corridor can cost $800–$1,500 per month for 50–100 m² and typically requires a 2–5-year commitment, a substantial bond, and significant fit out costs before you can move in.

StorHub's Braeside and Seaford facilities offer the practical alternative: drive-up storage, Micro Warehouses, a free Business Hub, and flexible month-to-month terms built around how Melbourne businesses actually operate.

What businesses actually store at Braeside and Seaford

The storage challenge is broadly consistent across trade types: high-value, high-replacement-cost equipment and stock that needs to be secure, organised, and accessible at short notice. At Braeside, the client mix reflects the Industrial Estate builders, fabricators, wholesalers, and mechanical trades. At Seaford, the mix leans toward the Peninsula economy: tradies, marine operators, hospitality businesses, and lifestyle service providers.

StoreProtect: cover for goods in storage

Standard home or vehicle cover typically does not extend to goods held in a commercial storage unit. StoreProtect provides contents cover specifically for stored goods, particularly useful for businesses holding stock, tools, or equipment with significant replacement value.

A note on storage costs and tax

Business storage costs are generally deductible as a business expense under Australian tax law, provided the unit is used for income-producing purposes. The ATO's small business deductions guidance covers relevant deductions. Confirm the position with your accountant; this is general information, not tax advice.
