Wānaka's business community doesn't appear to have been fazed by the now unlikely prospect of McDonalds setting up shop in town.  

The fast-food giant has had its resource application to open in the town declined after 90% of submissions opposed the idea.  

Wānaka Business Chamber Chair Jo Learmonth told Mike Hosking there was a variety of opinions in their community survey.  

But she says most indicated they don't see it impacting their business, or the business economy. 

McDonalds has two weeks to appeal the decision.
