The problem is several council planning officers trawl this forum and others to get back-up info. There probably isn't anything you can do about it, they can't actually use this info on here but it does help them to target problem operators.Thanks gus2012! I agree, we don't want this map to be used to target shops. I'm still mulling over how we can strike that balance between being a useful (and accurate) resource for punters but also maintain a level of discretion for business owners. So far, I've only publicised the website on this forum so it's not an immediate concern.
Thanks also to everyone else who has contributed to the website over the past week. It now lists 148 shops from Clarkson down to Pinjarra!
Ultimately, if they don't get a complaint they generally are too busy to bother. But some operators who can flout the law by owning the property outright are known to dob in their fellow locals to beat off the competition using the council as their means.
