Hutt Street Villa

In September 2022, the State Commission Assessment Panel granted permission to the YWCA organisation to knock down an 1890s sandstone villa on Hutt Street, to make way for an affordable housing apartment complex.

The dwelling formed part of a row of five villas constructed between 1895 and 1898.

Although the building had been recommended to be put on the Local Heritage Register, it had no protections, meaning that there was nothing standing in the way of its demolition.
