Citadines on Bourke ApartHotel: 131-135 Bourke Street, Melbourne

Despite Heritage Victoria not listing the building on the Victorian Heritage Register, it was recommended that the Byzantine styled facade be retained1until planning minister Justin Madden called the project in and controversially approved the demolition in June 2008 and the nature of the swift demolition sparked community uproar.2
