Merewether residents are seeing red over plans for a massive luxury home in the beachside suburb.
A local businessman plans to partially knock down an existing home in Scenic Drive and build a $7.5 million mansion with 7 bedrooms, 2 swimming pools, maids' quarters with 2 bedrooms, a gym, bar, billiard room and rooftop terrace.
Nearby residents have complained about the size and scope of the development, with some saying it's similar in size to a block of flats and should be assessed as such.
If approved, the mansion would become Newcastle's most expensive home.
Council is due to hand down a decision next week.
