Federation Square Granted Heritage Listing

 On Tuesday, Melbourne’s Federation Square was granted heritage status after only being built 17 years ago.

Described by some as ugly and appalling when it was opened, the building has now protected for its “historical, aesthetic, technological and social significance”.

To discuss Federation Square’s heritage listing, The Daily’s Stephen Hill was joined by Dr James Lesh, Postdoctoral Research Associate of Architecture, Design and Planning at Sydney University.
