Childhood Home of AC/DC Founders Demolished by Developers

Developers claim ignorance of the home's cultural significance, sparking outrage from fans and the local community.

The Sydney childhood home of AC/DC founders Angus and Malcolm Young was demolished in late 2024 for a $28.75 million residential project.
The property, located at 4 Burleigh Street in Burwood, was listed on the National Trust Register of Historic Houses in 2013 but lacked enforceable heritage protections.
Developers Burwood Square Pty Ltd apologized, stating they were unaware of the home's cultural importance until after demolition began.
The company plans to salvage materials from the site to create a dedicated space for AC/DC fans to honor the band's legacy.
Fans and community members have expressed outrage over the loss of the site, which played a key role in the formation of one of Australia's most iconic rock bands.
