New push to end Cliffe saga
Peppermint Grove wants to solve its heritage headache over The Cliffe.
Shire president Brian Kavanagh said he would seek a meeting with the property’s owner, Mark Creasy, and shire CEO Anne Banks-McAllister in the next two weeks.
Mr Kavanagh said he believed a sympathetic new owner was the only way the 1894 Bindaring Parade jarrah homestead could be saved.
He said Mr Creasy could be persuaded to sell the house at the right price.
“The shire doesn’t have the funds for this but we would be willing to work with someone who wanted to buy the house to restore it,” he said.
Last August the shire resolved to back a report that found the property had significant heritage value and should be repaired and restored on site.
Its heritage protection was removed in 2008 after 14 years of lobbying by Mr Creasy.
