Builder Christopher Galleb has reached an agreement to partially demolish and reconstruct sections of his $4 million Randall Avenue property in Sydney's Strathfield following a contentious dispute with Strathfield Council [1]. The council had accused Galleb of constructing the mansion without valid approval and of engaging certifiers with conflicts of interest in the project [1].
Under the court-ordered resolution, Galleb will lose less than 3 percent of the building's floor area in remedial works [1]. The required modifications include the removal of walls, deletion of arched columns, and the addition of landscaping and privacy treatments [1]. A Building Information Certificate issued in June 2024 has provided protection for the unauthorized works against demolition for seven years [1].
The dispute has extended beyond planning matters. Galleb faces criminal charges of harassing and intimidating Dylan Porter, the council's former planning and environmental director [1]. Additionally, his startup company Lifesize Plans entered voluntary administration at the end of 2024 [1].
