The billionaire co-founder of the Chemist Warehouse chain is facing a battle with residents over plans to build a luxurious 16-bed coastal compound with a pool, cinema, two wine cellars and a tennis court.
According to an application filed with Mornington Peninsula Shire, Verrocchi intends to demolish three existing houses on the land to make way for a sprawling set of double-storey buildings that will overlook Port Phillip Bay. It is unclear from the plans if the houses are intended as permanent residences or a holiday getaway.
Another objector said in a written submission that an “entire wish list has been crammed onto the available land”.“The stakeholders who have the misfortune to live adjacent to such a large project ... must endure the construction activity and live with the result afterwards during occupancy.”
