31 Gaerloch Avenue, Tamarama NSW 2026

I object to this proposal because an important part of Sydney's built heritage will be demolished. Lang Syne was listed seven months ago through Forbes’ Ken Jacobs with a $47 million to $52 million guide.
The excuse given in the "heritage impact statement" provided by the applicant is that the new house will not be visible and some landscaping will remain.

'Lang Syne' stands as one of the great land holdings of Sydney. It has been an enduring presence on the very point of Tamarama in Sydney's eastern suburbs for nearly a century, and held by the same family for the past 63 years.

The buyer of Tamarama’s iconic headland property Lang Syne – which has reset Sydney’s coastal price record – has emerged as a global advertising guru.

The New York-based Australian is set to take the keys from current owner Dimity Griffiths, 82, who has lived in the 1920s Californian bungalow for 63 years.

This house has already been reduced to rubble. Demolished before the DA.

The house, which was built in 1924 by bootmaker George Wolf and bought by Harry Griffiths in 1959, was peerless regarding its size and panoramic views.

The property’s Scottish name refers to times gone by – and whether the house endures or is erased, it’s a fitting title for the three generations of the Griffiths family who will fondly remember their happy lang syne.
