READ NOWIssues raised included concerns from Tony’s Lunch Bar owner about how the fast food outlet would affect his business, located 100m away and serving about 30 people a day.
The report said commercial competition was not a valid planning consideration.
Other concerns related to increased vehicle movements and traffic hazards.
The report said the increase from 2000 to 4700 vehicles a day would be safe given the road should be able to accommodate 7000 vehicles a day.
The City forwarded the amendment to the WA Planning Commission for its consideration.
