The fate of the Melbourne house featured in the cult film The Castle could be decided in court in real life because its owner wants to demolish it and build two townhouses.
“Its connections with the film The Castle are the foremost aspect of its significance, reflecting both social and historical value,” the report states.
Now the owner, Vicky Cosentino, has told News Corp Australia she would engage lawyers to fight any move to heritage list her house.
But experts say the Strathmore house should be heritage-listed because of its social and historical significance.
