The residents of War Workers Housing Estate in Moorooka have been fighting a temporary heritage listing that was placed over 180 homes in 2022, while council worked to make the overlay permanent.
In September 2022, a letter was placed in the mailbox of 180 homes across Moorooka , in Brisbane's south.
"It essentially makes your home, effective immediately, a heritage home," said Brian Luckins, a Moorooka home owner.Since then, the residents of the estate say they have been in a fight for the right to make their place their own, the right to make a home their castle. "We went and valued all the homes that were affected and that came to $22.7 million worth of house value that we lost just by the TLPI and would stay lost if we make the TLPI permanent."
Scott Bernoth is the proud owner of an eye-catching 1950s home in Moorooka, built outside the War Workers Estate. "There's no straight information, and when you ask for details — like the cost of heritage processes — you seem to get nowhere," he said.It's unique, but it's newer than most of the homes on his street.
