Demolition of Three Heritage Buildings Nos 1-3 Shore Street South

Principal Petitioner: Peter Flynn

Closing Date: 4.30pm, Tuesday 12 August 2025

At 10 signatures, this petition will be considered properly made.

Petition Request:

The demolition of these shops will bring an end to another piece of history that the Cleveland we live in and what brought us and our family to, is to be eradicated and replaced by other ugly run of the mill concrete block, ugly on the eye and landscape. The reason we moved to Cleveland was it had a country town and sea view feel, its already becoming just like any other sprawling mass estates lumps of concrete. Please try to save these buildings and retain them so future generations can appreciate old Cleveland instead of them having to go to the library and see how short sighted this generation have been.
