PDDA-2025-4392 - Proposed Drive-In Takeaway Food Shop (McDonalds) - Lot 9053 (No.32) Meares Avenue KWINANA TOWN CENTRE

The City of Kwinana has received revised development plans for a Drive-In Takeaway Food Shop at the above address.

On 19 November 2025, an application for a McDonalds Restaurant at the above address was refused by the Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel (MODAP) for the following reasons:

1. The built form of the development is inconsistent with the Main Street Precinct design principles of a continuous street edge and activated frontage to Chisham Avenue as set out in the Town Planning Scheme 3 clause 4.5.9.4 and the Kwinana City Centre Master Plan.
   
   
2. The siting of the building is prejudicial to future development in accordance with the Main Street Precinct design principles set out in the Kwinana City Centre Master Plan.

The applicant sought a review of the decision by the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). As part of this review process, the applicant has submitted revised plans for reconsideration by the MODAP.

The new plans propose a building setback closer to Meares Avenue and Chisham Avenue to address the reasons for the earlier refusal of the application. The new plans also show changes to the drive-through and the removal of three existing Eucalypt trees on site rather than one tree as shown in the previous plans.

The proposed Meares Avenue McDonalds is to replace the existing nearby Kwinana McDonalds on Gilmore Avenue.

SUBMISSION PERIOD: Friday 27 March 2026
