The Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel has approved a $9 million project to build an Aldi supermarket and McDonald’s restaurant on Pinjarra Road. The Aldi will include a 1,100 sqm store with a 55 sqm liquor section, while the McDonald’s will feature a drive-through and seating for 46 diners. The Shire of Murray opposed the McDonald’s drive-through, citing traffic congestion, safety risks near two primary schools, and concerns about preserving Pinjarra’s town character. Despite this, the panel voted 3–2 in favour, noting community support (364 submissions, with 330 backing Aldi and 272 supporting McDonald’s). Conditions include a $25,000 contribution to pedestrian infrastructure upgrades. The development is expected to reshape Pinjarra’s retail landscape, though debate continues over its impact on traffic and town planning.
