Question, is the lack of Western Wall development due to a security risk being seated next to the Law Courts?

I know they weren't allowed to have windows directly facing into the building but i'm unsure of the legal requirements of windows above the roofline of the law courts.

You can now see this from Flinders Street

I know the Govt (ie Federal Court adjacent) objected to this development but not sure on what grounds.

Go back a few pages, it was discussed at length.

From yesterday.

That's a very good photo, because it lets you visualise that at full height, the top of Kodo will just be visible at the top edge (at double the height of the law courts next door). Can't wait to see the overall skyline impact!

It's also good in that highlights the importance of developments like Bohem - because without it, that sad carpark that was allowed to add a couple of floors on a few years ago (even as the ACC blocked office blocks of similar height in that area) would otherwise be the tallest thing in the background (well, other than the blank wall of Lot 11 or 13 on Coglin St)...

Another core rise today.

Update 13/1/18. 1 more core rise to be taller than the court building. Front and rear views.

Another core rise today. Scaffolding coming off the lower levels and internal fitout commencing.

Great photos Ben! Looking forward to getting my February photo updates in a few weeks now that the scaffolding has been removed from the lower levels.

I did see a glass van out the front, so hoping the external features are not too far away. The quality will make or break this building.

Update from 30/1/18; structure now at level 7.

Update from Friday 2/2/2018. Work starting on level8.
