1. 595 Kiewa Street- isn’t this a heritage listed property? How can it be removed for units? If it is I object strongly.

2. I believe this property was once the stately Meramie Private Hospital in the grounds of which once stood a massive liquid amber tree, glorious in autumn, sadly removed along with all the other beautiful trees that once lined our streets.

   Kiewa Street was once a particularly beautiful street which showcased stately old homes on spacious blocks but is now, sadly, unrecognisable from the 1970's, along with the majority of Albury.

   I also strongly object to this and hope Council reconsiders this before we lose the last remaining vestiges of our beautiful past, to be replaced by boring monotonous square pre-fab concrete blocks called buildings.

3. I am really disappointed that Albury City Council might be considering approving the demolition of this Historic building in Kiewa Street. Many babies [including my brother in 1941] were born in this establishment from Approximately 1913, It was built in the late 19th century by one of Albury's forefathers who resided there until it became a Private Hospital, Long before this it should have had a heritage assessment and should be preserved. Too many of Albury's buildings of any significance are being replaced with unattractive multi residential structures... I am sure the building could be developed keeping the original structure. It seems to me that Albury City is approving too many developments inappropriate to the asthetic surroundings in which they stand.
