Woollahra

I'm an Eastern Suburbs boy.

I know Woollahra, Paddington very well.

In fact, I used to live there.

We're talking about a tiny, densely populated suburb now, Harriet.

No.

And what we're saying to the premier is we need to take a step back.

Woollahra Council has actually done its own, own alternative approach.

Hmm.

On Saturday, October 23rd, 2004, Melody enjoyed an evening out without Elin.

And she stayed over at another of their friends' houses in Woollahra, which again, if you're not from here, it's the suburb that backs onto Bondi Junction, which is essentially the backpacker capital of Australia, that, that general area.

And as Elin then woke up on the Sunday morning, now October 24th, and realized that Melody hadn't made it home, she sent her a text message to check in, as, as all best friends would.

Minutes later, now 7:30 AM on that Sunday morning, Melody responded, "Hey, I'm still at Edgecliff Road.

Um, and Julie and I were having our wedding, and we took over the whole hotel.

And the wedding took place in my business partner's house in a garden further up Queen Street, Woollahra.

So everything was meticulously organized.

I'd paid everybody, all the food, all the stuff, everything in cash.

The new mayor of New York, Mr. Mendoni, is, is, is a s-- a self-professed socialist.

Uh, David Shoebridge, the new leader of the Greens, who lives in a mansion in Woollahra in Sydney and owns three investment properties with his wife, he is apparently a socialist.

And then we've got this idea.

Now we've, uh, put in a call to the Greens.

Mm.

But they've got a property in Woollahra, right? So the median house price in Woollahra, we're looking at between 4.4 million to 4.9 million.

Then they've got, uh, according to early reports in the Sydney Morning Herald, an apartment in Darlinghurst, which was purchased for 535,000 in 2011.

It is now estimated to be worth approximately $1.5 million today.

Let's call him Mr. 1% from now on.

That's what everyone should refer to him when he gets up in parliament.

Or Mr. Woollahra Mansion.

Mr. Woollahra Mansion.

The reported cost is five hundred and ninety-two thousand dollars in twenty twenty-six, twenty-seven, rising to one point two million dollars in the following year.

Liberal Councillor Sean Carmichael is facing potential party expulsion after publicly breaking ranks with Woollahra Council to back state housing and transport plans, according to the Daily Telegraph.

In a letter to Premier Chris Minns, the former deputy mayor has urged the government to proceed with the proposed Woollahra train station, directly contradicting the council's active campaign against state-led rezoning.

The internal dispute has been linked to an unsuccessful leadership challenge against reelected Mayor Sarah Dixon.

Albury City Council has voted to scale back the redevelopment budget for Lavington Swim Centre to twenty-five million dollars after initial estimates reached forty-five million dollars.

We had a look at it.

We thought that's a great spot on the cusp of Bondi Junction and Woollahra and Centennial Park.

We thought if you build a, a tower here, then it'll capture amazing views of Sydney.

So we had a good look at it, and then there was a, a, a car yard next door that we asked Marcello to approach, and he was also interested in selling, so we had acquired both of those for a site, and then there was another block of six apartments at the back of that on Nelson Street, which also came on board, and we ended up acquiring that, and we amalgamated a pretty big site at pretty much the best spot in, in, I reckon, in the Eastern Suburbs.

We, we ...

When we were building the forum many years earlier, uh, that building went up to 14 stories, so we could already see the, the views that you can get from, from this, uh, ridge or this hill of, of Bondi Junction.

So we, we had an idea that the, the views even closer to the city are gonna be sensational, and being across the road from Woollahra, mostly built to four levels, I think, and it's never really to be built out, so, uh, we knew that it was gonna be just uninterrupted all the way to the city and to the harbor.

Everyone always talks about the harbor views, but what we've learnt is that the views towards the west, towards the city, is really the, the, the most beautiful direction for, for this area.
