McDONALD’S has formally appealed the rejection of a 24-hour Applecross restaurant to the state administrative tribunal.

The two-storey proposal, dubbed “Maccasaurus” by unhappy locals, was given the thumbs-down by Melville council and the state-controlled development application panel.

Sam Langley spearheaded local opposition and says she’s disappointed but not surprised the Golden Arches is seeking SAT intervention.

She says unlike most appeals, locals will get a chance to put in their two-bobs’ worth as several have properties that directly abut the proposed site—including the lawyer who’s been advising her group.
