This is a historical area for architecture so how will the demolition works and new addition to an existing old building change the look and feel of this property?
How will the new look impact on the surrounding properties and how the neighbourhood feels?
Council needs to be careful when permitting historical buildings to be altered or demolished.
Don't underestimate how much of an impact these historical architectural buildings have on the beauty and feel of not just the street or neighbourhood but on the whole of Ballarat and how these buildings encourage visitors and people to relocate to Ballarat.
Once these historical buildings are gone, they and their history are gone forever since you cannot replicate history.
The continued fashion of attaching black (monument) metal boxes onto a historical building as an extension has to stop as it's not sympathetic to the architecture or Ballarat and brings zero architectural beauty to the area.
