flag A Starbucks and Burger King in Tīrau, New Zealand, approved with noise-reducing hours and design limits amid public opposition.

flag A proposed Starbucks and Burger King in Tīrau, New Zealand, has been approved with conditions, including operating hours limited to 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. to reduce noise and social concerns. flag The development, which faced 148 public submissions—mostly opposition—must maintain clear sightlines, restrict lighting and signage, use local-style cladding, avoid construction during school times, and manage waste during off-peak hours. flag Commissioners found the project would have minimal impact on the neighborhood and support local commerce.
