Ground has been broken on its 1,000th location in Australia nearly 50 years after the global fast food brand launched in the country.
The restaurant will also become the chain’s first sustainable flagship when it opens later in 2020. In addition to using recycled material in the building, infrastructure and furnishings, the restaurant will use 100 per cent renewable energy, included solar energy sourced from rooftop panels.
“As our first sustainability flagship, the Melton South restaurant will play a vital role in allowing us to continue to test, evaluate and implement industry-leading sustainable innovations. McDonald’s Australia has always been committed,” Josh Bannister, McDonald’s Australia’s Senior Director of Development, said in a statement.
“We recognise that the size and reach of our business puts us in a unique position to improve people’s lives and the environment. We want to use our Scale for Good and continue raising the bar on what it means to be a responsible company committed to people and the planet.”
