20.01.2022 Its apparent these Cowboys aren't short on cash...instead of rebuilding Corkman they are buying new Real Estate, SHAME SHAME SHAME. http://www.afr.com//makland-picks-up-prime-box-hill-highri Makland picks up prime Box Hill high-rise site for $13m... Melbourne developer Makland Group has acquired a prime high-rise development site in Box Hill for more than $13 million with a scheme in place for 379 apartments. Box Hill, 14 kilometres east of the city, has rapidly transformed into Melbourne's premier suburban high-rise hub with more than 20 towers under construction or in the pipeline surrounding the train station and shopping precinct. The 1485 square metre Makland site is at 837 Whitehorse Road, in the heart of the developer-friendly Box Hill Activity Centre, was acquired from tyre retailers Paul and Mark Donnellan who paid $1 million for the commercial property in January 2000. CBRE's Sandro Peluso, Ed Wright and Mark Wizel brokered the sale, but declined to comment. Makland Group was founded 16 years ago by Stefce Kutlesovski. The company has undertaken a number of suburban apartment projects across Melbourne as part of Makshaq, a joint venture with another local developer, Shaq Developments. Other projects in Box Hill include the Deague family's $330 million Whitehorse Towers which features more than 500 apartments across two towers, the tallest rising 36 levels. Another project, 34-level Sky One by Jeff Xu's Golden Age Group, which launched a few weeks ago has 438 apartments. Mr Xu bought what was previously a project called Sovereign Square at 545 Station Street, off AXF Group's Richard Gu for just under $40 million in September last year.

20.01.2022 FFS! 2019? Developers who flattened Corkman Hotel escape justice until next year It took a weekend to raze the Corkman Hotel, but developers responsible won't face justice until more than two years after demolition that shocked Melbourne. http://www.theage.com.au//developers-who-flattened-corkman

20.01.2022 And the dummsit justification prize for knocking Corkman goes to our favourite cowboys: "Mr Kutlesovski and Mr Shaqiri have admitted they knowingly knocked down the pub without proper permission, but said their experience on another site where a wall collapse had injured a pedestrian led to them ignoring heritage, building and demolition requirements after the building was damaged in a fire"

19.01.2022 Corkman wreckers getting cold feet on rebuilding the Pub. "The orders that are sought are vague, imprecise and incapable of being complied with," lawyers for the pair wrote. "An order to rebuild would be "oppressive" http://www.theage.com.au//cowboy-developers-thumb-noses-at

18.01.2022 Herald Sun article: March 16, 2018 9:39 am Ed Gardiner Pub demolition may prove very costly... THE developers accused of demolishing the historic Corkman pub face fines of more than $1.2 million after admitting illegally dumping rubbish and breaching a pollution order. Stefce Kutlesovski, Raman Shaqiri and their two companies faced a raft of charges over the illegal demolition of the 1880s hotel in Carlton. Illegal dumping of industrial waste carries a maximum fine of $373,104 per offence, while breaking a pollution order carries a maximum fine of $46,638. The offences faced over the Corkman demolition carry a cumulative maximum penalty of $1.25 million The 159-year-old brick building was torn down without approval in October 2016, an act that outraged the public and prompted legal action from several bodies. An EPA spokesman could not comment on the status of the charges. The Herald Sununderstands the men and their firms will be sentenced in August. The EPA laid 15 charges against Mr Kutlesovski and Mr Shaqiri and their companies, 160 Leicester Pty Ltd and Cairnlea Pty Ltd. The EPA alleged that after the pub was knocked down, demolition waste was illegally dumped in Cairnlea. The Victorian Building Authority and Melbourne City Council are also pursuing the pair over the demolition. The council is finalising a planning scheme amendment that would provide for a total rebuild of the pub and provide heritage protection. The pubs owners initially apologised and promised to rebuild the hotel in the weeks after the demolition. But they soon changed tack, challenging council orders to clean up the site. A spokesman for Planning Minister Richard Wynne said he could not comment while the case was pending. Weve introduced new legislation that provides unprecedented protection of Victorias valued heritage assets, he said. [email protected] @edjgardiner

11.01.2022 In the not too distant future when we look at the wreckage of cheap, shanty high rises that ruin our skyline we will point to this time in our history as where the government failed in sending a clear message to these parasites 'Cowboy developers' have fines slashed for illegally demolishing historic Melbourne pub http://www.abc.net.au//developers-who-demolished-/11486120

09.01.2022 Corkman pub will not be rebuilt. The latest news is that Raman Shaqiri and Stefce Kutlesovski, the developers who illegally demolished the 1856 Corkman Irish pub in Carlton, are removing the debris from the site (which contained asbestos), and are disposing it. They are not keeping any elements, not even the bluestone blocks that formed the window surrounds. These would have been salvageable and able to be reused, even if a bit broken, and would have been an interesting grap...hic reminder of what happened. https://cbdnews.com.au/corkman-will-not-be-rebuilt/

09.01.2022 UN-BELIEVABLE. The developers who unlawfully demolished Carltons Corkman Irish Pub in 2016 have reached a deal with the Andrews government to clear the site and temporarily turn it into a park by the end of November. But the pair stand to profit from knocking down the 158-year-old pub without permission, because under the settlement reached with Planning Minister Richard Wynne and Melbourne City Council, they now have three years to re-develop the site with a tower up to 1...2 levels high. https://www.theage.com.au//push-for-state-to-forcibly-acqu
