A DILAPIDATED Dandenong site will soon be home to a petrol station and two restaurants.
Greater Dandenong Council received eight objections to the proposal for the former Mobil service station at Heatherton and Stud roads.
But councillors unanimously supported the development at their Monday 11 April meeting.
The proposal included Oporto and Subway convenience stores to operate from 6am to midnight every day, and the service station to be open 24-hours, seven days.
Objectors raised concerns about car parking and traffic issues, a lack of bicycle parking, oversupply of service station and convenience restaurants, noise, patron behaviour, light spill, construction impacts, and property devaluation.
The site is bounded by homes to the east and south. To the north, across Heatherton Road, is a service station.
To the north-west, across the intersection of Heatherton Road and Stud Road, is another service station with a McDonalds convenience restaurant.
To the west, across Stud Road, is a Red Rooster convenience restaurant.
