Plans have been lodged with Moira Shire Council for the demolition and replacement of the Foodworks Supermarket in Melville St, Numurkah.

The $2 million project includes a new shop, offices and car parking at the rear.

According to the planning application, options to retain and remediate parts of the existing building have been explored; however, due to the extensive amount of demolition required to remove compromised fabric, poorly constructed and non-compliant structure this would be extremely difficult to achieve.

“Coupled with the objective of creating a functional commercial space suitable for use as a modern supermarket, retention of any part of the structure is not physically possible or financially viable,” the report stated.

The application has yet to be considered by council.

In case you couldn’t see the giant golden arches while arriving in or leaving Shepparton at the south Shepparton McDonald’s restaurant, you won’t be able to miss them now.

Macca’s had its giant yellow trademark M replaced with an even bigger one on Friday, June 14.
