There are several issues which should be looked at carefully:
1. Traffic - the whole of Cobra/Palmer/Goode Streets will become one big traffic jam as people try to get in and out of the place.
2. Operating hours - 6am to 10pm Mon-Fri and 7am to 7pm Sat/Sun. This is not acceptable when it borders a large residential area. Palmer Street has always been a quiet area.
