The #demolition of a dilapidated 150-year-old #mansion in #Launceston, in #Tasmania's north, has prompted questions about gaps in #heritage protection.
The Victorian-era home was earmarked for heritage listing over two decades ago, but was never placed on the #StateHeritageRegister.
The loss of the property at 180 George Street has sparked anger and disappointment among locals and one heritage advocate who labelled the destruction as "scandalous". #auspol #taspol
