A judge who personally visited the property sided with the company on its appeal against the Brisbane City Council, which had rejected an application to demolish the Norman Park home.
An inner-city character house could soon be demolished by a small Brisbane company, despite the council arguing it would be an “unacceptable loss” to the city’s heritage.
Mafic Investments, and Massimo and Giulia Ficca argued the demolition would not result in “any meaningful or significant loss of traditional building character in the streets or its surrounds”. An expert for the council described the house as a fine example of 1930s Georgian-style traditional building character. It was described as a lowset home with a tiled pyramidal roof on build, on land of 830 square metres.
“As the above analysis reveals, the house makes a nominal contribution to the traditional building character of the street [or area] and does not individually or collectively [with other houses] contribute to the traditional building character or traditional character of the street [or area],” she said in her judgment.
