Queens Road Mansion to get yet another chance ?

Not to take all the credit but it appears that my “complaining” on this blog has been worth it.

After my post about the horrible neglect of the heritage Mansion at 83 Queens Road near St Kilda junction, Realestatesource.com.au reports that yet another new owner has plans for it to be converted into 6 apartments.

Little suprise it got a reaction, as my site stats showed an incredibly large amount of interest in that particular post.

One can only hope this goes ahead and that it equates to completing the restoration that was disgracefully abandoned almost a decade ago ….
