“It is anticipated that the KFC drive through restaurant will be in full operation by the first quarter of next year, conservatively, with the view to commit an additional drive through restaurant on the remainder of the site frontage and six strata titled warehouses to the rear,’’ director Zac Potter said.

“We are very pleased to have such a high-profile brand as KFC attached to the project.”

The Potter Group bought the former Billabong site for $3.8 million in November.
