A popular pier-side restaurant and a former fishing co-operative face demolition in the tourism hotspot of Lorne as part of a controversial waterfront redevelopment plan.
The fishing co-operative building dates back to the 1950s, and the redevelopment plan has raised fears a key part of Lorne’s industrial heritage will be lost unless the project is revised.

But the plan’s proponents say the co-operative building, which is now closed apart from the restaurant, has fallen into disrepair and needs major maintenance.
