A proposed 24-hour McDonald’s restaurant in Wānaka has sparked substantial opposition, with 339 out of 366 submissions to the Queenstown Lakes District Council opposing the fast-food chain’s arrival.
Local organisations like Wao Aotearoa Charitable Trust and Wastebusters told state media that the restaurant’s placement at a highly visible site near Mount Iron would clash with the natural aesthetics and community’s environmental values.
Concerns extend to waste management, with critics highlighting McDonald’s reliance on single-use packaging, which they say contradicts Wānaka’s commitment to a zero-waste, eco-friendly economy.
Supporters are few but have suggested conditions to address potential disruptions, such as limiting drive-thru hours to reduce traffic and noise. Some locals see a McDonald’s as a convenient addition that enhances food choices in town.
A council meeting set for November 25 will continue the debate as 106 people are booked to voice their opinions.
Lets see if local council is any better than central govt. Do they listen to peoples concerns…..?
McDonald’s is being boycotted on a global basis due to the J3wi$h Zionist handlers of the same in protest over Israel’s genocide and war crimes now happening in several nations in the Middle East.
The West is next on their target list…!
Recent alternative media reports that human DNA has been found in the abbreviated ‘meat’, and the fries contain toxins…!
Besides, no one can afford the ‘Menu’ prices anymore…
