Δ Flavour favourite returns: Maxibon
fans, hold onto your tastebuds because the
wait is finally over! After an eight-year hiatus
and countless pleas from loyal Bon-fans across
Australia, Maxibon Peanut Jams with Butter
is back. It’s a remastered flavour bomb featuring
one of the most iconic duos ever to grace
the planet; peanut butter and jam. “We are so
excited about sharing our revamped creation
with Maxibon fans across Australia. We’ve
had more requests to bring this flavour back
than any other, so at a time when sandwich
delis and ice cream sandwiches are buzzing
across Australia, the timing felt right,” said.
Maxibon Brand Manager, Stephanie Chosich.
Δ Farewell, road trip eats: The Oporto and
Red Rooster restaurants on the M4 Motorway
have now officially closed, bringing to an end
their long reigns at the location. McDonald’s
is also closing, with the site being completely
refurbished and redesigned. Hungry Jacks
will now be on both sides of the motorway.
Δ Shapes go gluten free: Arnott’s has
announced the latest additions to its gluten
free range – Gluten Free Jatz and Gluten Free
Barbecue Shapes. Available nationwide from
early April, the brand-new savoury gluten free
range is made from a carefully crafted gluten
free baking blend, offering the same great
taste and quality that Arnott’s is known for.
Δ Parra ferry arrives in Sydney: The first
new Australian built Parramatta River Class
ferry has just arrived in Sydney after passing
the ultimate sea test, crossing the Bass Strait.
This is the first of seven new Northern Beaches-designed
vessels being built by Hobartbased
ship builder Richardson Devine
Marine. The next ferry in the new Parramatta
River Class fleet is just a few weeks behind
and is expected to commence builder’s
trials in early May. The seven new vessels
will replace the RiverCat and SuperCat
vessels which will be retired after 30 years
of service. Each vessel in the new Parramatta
River Class fleet will have a 200-person
capacity, while using 40 per cent less diesel
and are also future proofed for conversion to
electric propulsion when the technology and
network infrastructure become available.
Δ Have your say: City of Parramatta
is inviting residents to have their say on
proposed changes to planning controls for
263-281 Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford
(formerly known as 263-273 Pennant Hills
Road and 18 Shirley Street). The proposed
changes seek to allow for an increase of 197
units, a 600 square-metre increase in retail
floor space and a new central park. The draft
proposal on exhibition will reconfigure the
existing R4 High Density Residential and RE1
Public Open Space zones. It will also increase
the maximum height of building control
from 11-storeys on the Pennant Hills Road
frontage to 29-storeys and from 9-storeys on
the remainder of the R4 zoned portion of the
site to 18-storeys. To find out more, visit the
Participate Parramatta website. Submissions
close at 5pm on April 24.
