Joono, even the local council rejected it there so it was taken to VCAT who pass everything residents don't want basically.

they are a panel of judges or ex judges who don't live in the areas concerned and pretty much pass every development based purely on legality. with no care or thought to residents or anything else

Good on them (the protesters). I think there are a lot of tourist/daytrippers in that area Mr Grizz.. they may buy food from McDonald's even if the locals don't.

p.s. There is no Mac in McDonald's.

Thanks Am.  Shows how much I know about McDonalds.

I don't know Mugssy!!  It doesn't look two storey yet if it is going to be.  

look on the bright side, it will provide local employment for youth.

Then there is the not so bright side... any locally owned and operated  food businesses that are there already will lose custom, mightn't earn enough to stay open, litter from McDonalds (although their staff do collect dropped litter from their restaraunts, I don't think they go outside their carpark to  do that), possible child obesity problems for local children/adults, visually unattractive building....

Tecoma is a little town in the Dandenong, little of shops a couple of take away shops that have been there forever, and a petrol station that closes at 9pm.

Infact all the shops are shut by 9pm.

You can drive throught Tecoma any time after 9pm and there are no people around, just a few cars on the highway............so McDonads when and if they open are going to be 24/7 drive through..................

Who is going to go there, not the people of Tecoma or any of the people that live in the Dandenongs. The people said no, the council said no.

VCAT said yes, they have not taken what the people want or the council want, The Dandenongs is no place for McDonalds, especially when there is one 10 minutes away.

To those of us that live in The Dandenongs and Melbourne, we should have a say in what happens, The Dandenongs is not the place for McDonalds.

You misunderstand me, p h

I understand all of the above.  I know the Dandenongs quite well.

I have a cousin who lives on the Mount.

I am not advocating a Maccas in your area, if you don't want it

I merely thought that the knitting could be used in that fashion, that's all

But that's me - I love yarn bombing
