Public holiday penalty rates prompted many Perth retailers and restaurants to remain closed on 26 January 2015. Sorrento Restaurant in Northbridge is among those that opted to trade on Australia Day, but proprietor Fiona Dilanzo says this was only due to a 10 per cer surcharge that was imposed on customers. The Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Western Australia favours a single penalty rate for working on public holidays and weekends
