A PlanSA development application reveals Mount Barker is set for a second McDonald’s restaurant near land that has already won approval for a new shopping centre development, as the growing city continues to expand.

If approved by the Mt Barker Council assessment panel, the new restaurant would be on Wellington Road with an access point on Heysen Boulevard.

The new McDonald’s would include a single storey restaurant complete with the McCafé and drive through takeaway facilities.

The proposed building has a floor area of 480-square metres with an eating capacity will of 78 seats, complete with McDonald’s customary play-place area for younger children.

According to the development application, McDonald’s restaurants of the size proposed provide employment opportunities for up to 100 people on a full and part-time basis.
