South Burnett Regional Council will debate an application for a new drive-thru restaurant in Kingaroy at Wednesday’s monthly General Meeting.<\/p>\n

If approved, the restaurant would occupy a 2020sq m block at the corner of Alford and Youngman streets, opposite Kentucky Fried Chicken.<\/p>\n

The proposal to construct the restaurant has been lodged by Town Planning Alliance on behalf of Interstate Locum Service Pty Ltd, which formerly traded as South Burnett Medical Centre.<\/p>\n

What type of food business would operate the restaurant if it is built is not known.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Council officers noted that access to and from the restaurant would be on Alford Street. The single-storey development would be shielded from a neighbouring residential property by a blade wall and edge plantings.<\/p>\n

Pedestrians would be able to access the site from Youngman Street.<\/p>\n

The double block currently houses a former doctor\u2019s surgery complex now occupied by Lives Lived Well, a drug and alcohol counselling service which moved into the premises in October 2018.<\/p>\n

If the development proceeds, the block would be cleared and levelled before construction starts.<\/p>\n

Officers said they found the development complied with all current conditions and would complement the CBD.<\/p>\n

On this basis, they have recommended councillors approve the project.<\/p>\n
