1. Please do not demolish this wonderful building. It has history and houses the best restaurant in Perth. My husband and I go there for dinner for our anniversary every year.

   There is a service station directly across the road. There is no need for another.

   If anything, the building needs a face lift which would accentuate the beauty of it and emphasis how important the history of our area is.

2. I'm very sad to see this proposal, another old building that should for historical reason be renovated is in the fireing line for demolishon. How many petrol stations does one intersection need? Absolutely absurd. I'm sure I will soon be hearing the fire engines attending a accidentle fire there any day now!

3. Please take into full consideration that what is proposed is not needed.
   Please also take into full consideration that this building is over 100 years old and represents an opportunity to acknowledge and symbolise the history of the Eastern suburbs, not just Midland. There is anectodal evidence that this is significant in terms of WW1 veterans; Blackboy Hill. There is anecdotal evidence that this is significant owing to the former racetrack across the road.
   Of itself, it is significant.

4. I agree with all of Cath Harnets sentiments, that this hotel has been a vital part of Midland history for more than 100 years and has been a major contributer in Midlands cultural, social development and this should be akknowleged and the hotel retained as a heritage and historical Midland building and council should endeavour to facillitate this outcome

5. Please do not demolish the Darling Range hotel. Too many historical buildings have been demolished in Perth. It's so sad when you see photos of the amazing buildings that could've been standing today but instead have been demolished. We need to hold onto old buildings to give Perth some diversity in its architecture... otherwise all that history is lost.

6. Please consider the advantage of keeping & restoring this historic building & the virtues it offers to the broader community.
   Sadly here in Perth we are light on when it comes to saving our Architectural history .
   Another Coles Express will do nothing towards changing this poor practice & everywhere toward showing our sadly blatant disregard for same .
   Do we really need another ugly insensitively designed corporately owned building on a busy Highway ?

7. Surely that neighbourhood does not need another petrol station.

8. Please don't demolish this historic building, let alone for a third petrol station at the intersection! We have eaten at the restaurant many times and appreciate the history within its walls.

   Thank you for your consideration.

9. I understand this building is heritage listed. If the owners receive approval to demolish it what good is the purpose of having a heritage listing or a heritage council?

10. It's so sad to see another beautiful old piece of history demolished for a service station. Especially considering the area is swamped with servos already.

11. This Hotel is a well known historic landmark and is in need of a makeover but not demolition. It has served the locals for over a century - and continues to do so.
    We are not in need of another service station just 30 seconds from the B.P (which is often quiet and has ample pumps for a much larger population). There is also a mega
    Caltex across the road. What is the point in destroying our local Heritage and a perfectly functioning well patronized popular Pub and Restaurant? How does this serve the local community ... Tripling up on identical services located in the same 500 sq metre block ?
    

12. This hotel should not be demolished as it represents a unique, historic building which was the working man's pub. It has an ANZAC relationship as well as being the hotel across the road from a now gone, racecourse. Bellevue doesn't have any other pubs. There is strong social and cultural reasons for preserving the hotel and bringing it back to it's former appearance. Bellevue was and still is a working-man's suburb. The hotel is beloved, along with two giant moreton bay fig trees in the rear which were at the original stables. It was watering hole for my grandfathers from around 1940 till their deaths. This hotel presents a wonderful opportunity to develop into a museum or cultural centre about the ANZACS. Please do not demolish it.
