Hi all
I am contemplating the purchase of an apartment in Eureka Tower, Southbank, as my PPOR (which is currently in the CBD). The apartment I am looking at is on a lower level of the building, and currently enjoys views across the boulevard and into the city. Some of these views are interrupted by the existing buildings that are in front of Eureka (i.e. the Exxon Mobile building at 12 Riverside Quay). One of the concerns I have is if these existing buildings – which are relatively new – are redeveloped and their height expanded.
I appreciate that I can not stop progress, and that a right to a view is not recognised in law, and so what I would like to know is whether there is any information available that would be relevant to my decision – i.e. are there any planning rules that would prohibit further expansion to these buildings on the boulevard, has any applications for redevelopment been lodged, etc? Has anyone been through something similar and what steps did you take to satisfy yourself of the likelihood of your view remaining uninterrupted?
Many thanks.
