Demolition of the Munro Site under full swing, by none other than Whelen the Wrecker 😔

All that’s left of the 1927 #TBclinic in #LittleLonsdaleStreet near Queen- we don’t know why this bit still there, perhaps to leave it as a ruin in the plaza ? It was recently recommended for #heritagelisting, but a permit to demolish was issued in 2012 - for a ‘vertical campus’ for @VictoriaUniversity At least they’re keeping the front of the 1919 #VDclinic, but that was only after we made a fuss.

The new #HeffernanLane #substation that replaced the 1930s #heritagelisted one that for practical reasons couldn’t be reused. We negotiated with the architects to get a better design, with more brick detailing, though it was supposed to include a contrast colour of brick - and we would have preferred it was in #laneway #redbrick - but it looks very fine. The projecting bricks have #LEDlighting in them, don’t know what it will look like though, but should be exiting.

Nice to see some more creative #sitehoarding in the CBD for once; this one might be a result of the policy the @cityofmelbourne adopted last year - in this case they’re showing what will be, though that was pretty much what was there before - the 1899 Ball&Welch department store and 1898 Commercial Travellers Ass were facaded in the 1980s and extra floors added, and extra width too, when they were turned into a carpark - now those extra floors and width are coming off, replaced by setback office floors, like it should have been in the first place !
