Ettamogah

THE developer that has kept Melbourne’s heritage enthusiasts on edge for a year has quietly listed its Brighton headquarters for sale.

Ettamogah Entertainment, which went into voluntary administration last November, is directed by Leigh O’Brien, whose development company, L&D O’Brien Holdings, paid $12 million in 2009 for the prominent 1 Bay Street Brighton mansion once owned by Olympian turned Gold Coast Mayor Ron Clarke.

L&D planned to replace the 1933 square metre site with a high-end apartment complex, after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal approved the historic six-bedroom home on the site (pictured) be demolished.
