The construction of a service station and Subway on the corner of Percy and Albion Streets began in late January, commencing on the 20th.

However, Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Mayor Vic Pennisi and chief executive officer Dave Burges said they are unaware of its development.

“There could be a planning application in but it’s not council,” Mr Burges said.

“I’m aware of two applications for service stations that are in the system.”

Mr Burges said he will have to look into this further.

JBBK Construction Pty LTD is currently completing the construction, and is set to be finished in May, as confirmed by a site worker.

A spokesperson from the company or the construction site was unavailable to provide further comment at this time.
