Why on earth would someone buy a heritage house in a heritage area with a heritage overlay then try to demolish it?
The house is solid and has significant embodied energy in its solid brick construction
Renovation would be preferable
This is a very significant property in Boroondara, one that the council should be fighting to save.
It’s time for all Heritage listed properties to be protected from developers and demolition. Renovate yes but nothing else.
These magnificent properties should not be viewed as cash cows for replacement with flats or more McMansions.
Every demolition equals hundreds of tons of unnecessary trash, destroying trees is totally unacceptable; the huge negative environmental impact of demolition should be addressed immediately. Do something Boroondara to address this negative impact on our local area and the environment at large. We did not purchase in Boroondara to be surrounded by flats, constant noise, destruction of neighbourhood, roads, pavements, gardens, lifestyle and our privacy.
