Their concerns should elicit sympathy from Ballarat people who take a drive or walk around Lake Wendouree.

Who are the 'authorities' who allowed these concrete and glass mansions to replace beautiful traditional homes in Wendouree Parade?

I know from experience that a nondescript timber home in side streets near Lake Wendouree cannot have its facade altered.

So how can old homes around Lake Wendouree be demolished and replaced by mansions unsympathetic to the facades of homes that have been there for decades?

These 'authorities' should be brought to account and prevented from taking such vandalistic actions.
