McDonald's development controversy

In July 2008, McDonald's Australia applied to have a store opened in Minyama. Sunshine Coast Regional Council rejected the development.[2]

Local member of federal parliament Peter Slipper has said that any new development be given serious and honest consideration to the various potential impacts on the community.[2]

Despite the fact that residents who live in adjoining properties protested the development,[3] McDonald's plans to fight the rejection in court.[2]

The McDonald's restaurant was built, but it is not 24 hours, it now closes at 11 o'clock each night and opens at 5 o'clock every morning.
