When Chinese billionaire Kuizhang 'Sam' Guo bought a Hunters Hill mansion for $11.4 million in 2014, it didn’t take long for him to make a splash in the neighbourhood.
At the time Mr Hockey slammed the deal - to be undertaken within two years of the purchase date - as “spurious” and “ridiculous”.By July 2015, Mr Guo had lodged revised plans for the guest house, but an advisory panel found they were “substantially” different to those approved and would have “excessive and adverse” impacts on Windermere.
An expert in Aboriginal heritage told the court the cave contained “extensive and relatively well preserved” red-painted Aboriginal artwork and the disturbed remains of an occupation deposit.“I have not seen a more visually spectacular painted art site in the Sydney inner suburbs,” Mary Dallas said, adding that while the art had not been “grossly damaged” it was “critical” no further works occurred.
“The works in their entirety have been undertaken without owner’s consent on Crown land,” Mr Adamson told the court, adding that the character of the Aboriginal rock cave had been “altered dramatically”. Council officers visited the site on multiple occasions, but in each instance were unable to locate Mr Guo, instead finding a worker and a female occupant who didn’t speak English.
