and ask him to revoke C299 (The demolition permit).

Avoid the demolition of a stately home in Hawthorn of architectural significance to be replaced by more box like developments.

We want the demolition permit revoked to allow Heritage Overlays to be passed to preserve this Heritage masterpiece which has historical significance in our suburb.

Melbourne is home to some of Australia’s finest heritage architecture. Too much of this is being lost to developers. High density living has its place and is being catered for in the inner regions already. This block does not need to be part of that. It should be preserved as a fine example of a Hawthorn HOME.

Gracious period detail adorns the double fronted home including soaring ceilings, magnificent open fireplaces and superb return verandah.

Limited car parking in this residential area is already an issue and likely to be worse with any development of this site other than a single dwelling.
