Drive through to beach

Would Matthew Wales like to explain how a McDonald's at that site would give a boost to other businesses in the area?

Anyone looking at an aerial map of Umina Beach can see that a huge percentage of people will drive down Ocean Beach Rd, go to the McDonald's drive-through or sit inside McDonald's and then head down to the beach, playground or sporting fields and never step foot in West St.

And they'll also see that school children will buy McDonald's on the way to and from school, as it's only a block away.
