Historic pub demolished without permit

Talk about lucky! I was contemplating using the same demolition mob to knock down my place couple months ago. Thank goodness he never returned my multiple emails and voice mail.

 

Apparently the demo guys knocked down the wrong house one time. They knocked the house next door, sounds like a bunch of Drunken Barbarians if you ask me!

 

@Big Will i ended up using his mate. Drunken barbarians is a nice way of putting it. Absolutely no communication and a bunch of amateurs. Never told me when he was starting. I drove past the house one night to find it flat as a pancake.

He's asbestos guys literally broke in to do their work. The site had a sign with my details so a quick phone call would have been a lot easier.

Once asbestos guys finished they trashed the place and tagged all the walls.

I just hope they throw the book at this cowboy.

 

They might be ordered to rebuild the pub...

Full restitution - capped at 2 storeys....that would hurt.

 

Asbestos, waste from Carlton pub found at developer's western suburbs property

Reported that they dumped the waste on a suburban block in the Western suburbs.

 

Oh No. This is gunna get expensive.

 

This was so disgusting. I would avoid to purchase any real estate from this developer.

 

Small price to pay when they said the pub if they get away with it turned the site value from ~5M to 8-10M.

Even with 1M in fines they are still doing quite well, although I hope the council makes them either rebuild it brick by brick or that they have to keep the place as a public place for the next 10 years which will eat away at their profits/holding costs.

 

They clearly dont care about due process, laws or people. They demolished while there was a council stop work order in place, then they leave asbestos to blow away from site, then they dump the asbestos on another site.

If the council shuts the site down, they will just start work again. If the site gets locked up, they are the type who will just cut the chains off and keep on working. And while the council takes legal action and imposes a stop work order, they will just tell them to flap off and keep on building.

Revoke their builders license? They will just move the construction contract to another entity they control which has a license.

By the time it works its way through the courts they will have completed the development, sold them all, pocketed the money and moved on.

 

Whatever way it pans out, it is gunna get expensive.

Looks like the authorities are going to throw the book at them. If they don't, more and more people will be tempted to do the same thing.

 

I have used Shaq demoltions in the past. Little did i know the guy had so much wealth!!!!He personally demolished 3 houses for me. The last one was a bit of a disaster. After I finished and sold off my townhouses, i received a letter from the council that no Demolition permit was issued. Luckily i paid by Bank Transfer and had a tax invoice to show that I appointed Shaq demolitions to do the demolition work. If I paid by Cash( Which Shaq was insisting the method of payment), I would be big trouble.

 

They will be required to rebuild the pub: the Planning Minister changed the planning scheme today.

 

Absolutely brilliant outcome. How long until they declare bankruptcy?

 

Yep just wind up and leave a vacant block. Cheaper than rebuilding

 

There you have it. Checkmate.

Rebuild it: Planning Minister Richard Wynne orders developers behind Carlton pub

 

They will probably rebuild it and it comes the new hip "studio 54" with lines out the door each week bringing in more cash than 700 student accommodation rooms.

But in all seriousness, this is a great result! I have no doubt a lot of muscle and intimidation would have been thrown around in the last month and it's refreshing to see no one backing down.

 

All is forgiven, developer says 'sorry'

 

'I hope everyone knows your name': Magistrate blasts developers who dumped asbestos

sorry didnt cut it !

 

Corkman Pub developers hit with $1.3m fine for 'reprehensible' demolition
" Developer Raman Shaqiri and his company 160 Leicester Pty Ltd pleaded guilty in May last year for knocking down the Corkman Irish Pub in Carlton in October 2016 without building or planning approval.
The company's other director, Stefce Kutlesovski, pleaded guilty to charges in January this year. "

not enough in my opinion
