> Hi, I work in an office across the road from 150 Hereford Street and couldn’t help but notice the building has recently been repainted a very bright yellow across the whole frontage. I was just wondering if Council has any guidelines or approval processes around building colours in the central city, especially when they cover such a large street frontage. From this side of the street it feels quite striking, and I’m curious to know how colour choices like this are considered.
