DEMOLITION work has started on the site of a new McDonald’s restaurant and service station on the Princes Highway at Nowra.
The $2.9 million complex also features BP service station and convenience store and is planned for the intersection of the highway and Plunkett Street. It will also be bordered by Haigh Avenue.
Work has started on the removal of existing buildings on the site including the former car yard, TLE Electrical business and Kennedy Automotives.
The work will also see the partial demolition of the former Autobarn building, which has relocated next door into the adjoining former Uncle Pete’s Toys building.
The proposal by North Sydney company, RG Property Ten Pty Ltd includes the service station, convenience store, McDonald’s restaurant, car parking, signage and associated works.
The McDonald’s outlet will have drive through facilities and on site seating for 36 patrons, as well as 69 car parks, including one disabled space, two long vehicles/trailers spaces and five motorbike spaces.
The service station will feature four bowsers, a fuel canopy and a 200 square metre convenience store as well as loading/service area.
Modifications will be made to existing vehicle access points in Haigh Avenue and Plunkett Street.
It is proposed to construct a new vehicle exit/entry point on Plunkett Street as far away from the Princes Highway as possible.
The existing driveways on Plunkett Street will be made redundant, while there will only be an entry/exit point at the southern end of Haigh Avenue.
It is proposed the service station and McDonald’s would both have a 24-hour trading hours.
