A very alert reader has just sent us the following –
Property Review Weekly June 10, 2011 page 20
Extract from C60 Planning Panel Report – July, 2010
Page 25, Section 3.2.2 – Overlays
“ Two sites near the amendment land are affected by Heritage Overlays. These are No 1 Bond Street and the Caulfield Station.”
Page 131, Section 14.2 – Heritage – Evidence and Discussion
“ 1 Bond Street is a single fronted late Victorian Villa with substantial timber stables located at the rear. The house was built in 1887 and named ‘Grace Darling’ in 1910 after the winner of the 1885 Caulfield Cup. The property ‘Grace Darling’ is considered in the Caulfield Conservation Study to be of regional importance for its stables and pitched laneway;
Caulfield Railway Station Complex was constructed in 1913‐14. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register as a complex of architectural and aesthetic importance as an imposing Federation Free Style complex. The Victorian Heritage Register notes that the retention of the original station detail provides insights into social attitudes and railway practices immediately preceding the First World War and during a boom period in the history of Caulfield.”

Damnation!!! If the developer who buys this property reads this website he will know that a call to Building Inspector Lipshutz will get rid of the pesky heritage listing.

So, can we assume that council is now in the real estate business?

Or…. is the recommendation in the For Sale advertisement to call council directly a statement of frustration from the agents that they can’t find out what is going on with heritage and development in the area!!!!!
