The NSW Treasurer's views on the heritage-listed building are softening, but there are some other Sydney architectural landmarks in his sights | Rabe9 juliepower

"My views are softening ... when you walk through you can see what a fantastic office space this could be," Mr Perrottet said after walking out of the Sydney’s longest-running power station. "The problem is though, for long periods of time no one does anything. This thing was decommissioned when I was born and no one has invested in it, so it rots away in a derelict state.

"[The criticism] started in the 1980s. The building is now over 60 years old and Harry regarded it as one his best and so do I," Mrs Seidler said. Glenn Harper, a member of the Australian Institute of Architects NSW Heritage Committee, said the "Treasurer’s lampooning of the appearance of many culturally significant late-modern buildings is certainly not in the public interest, especially in a city where the current state government pays lip service to built heritage generally."

Rabe9 juliepower Even the State Treasurer concludes that brutalism is garbage, pass it on

Rabe9 juliepower Haha full credit to him, he nails it. There is so much execrable architecture around Sydney. Absolute bane on the beautiful harbour. He forgot one building though: the disgusting Victoria St apartments built by that sleeze who murdered Juanita Nielsen.

Rabe9 juliepower The fact that many will automatically oppose Perrottet & argue Blues Point Tower, Reserve Bank building, Hospital Rd Courthouse & brutalist buildings should be heritage listed proves his point.

Rabe9 juliepower I agree with him about Blues Point Tower..an absolute eyesore

Rabe9 juliepower BLM! Perrottet? That doesn't sound ethnic Anglo like ScoMo. Is he from ethnic French community? Why do they keep on coming here from their shitholes in the West?

Rabe9 juliepower Isn’t the Treasurer being investigated by Icac ?
