For more information, see: Bate, W., Broome, R., Davis, N., May, A. J., & Stitt, H. (2024). The story of Melbourne’s lanes: Essential but unplanned (pp. 134, 192). ISBN 978-1-875173-12-9.

"By the early 1990s, 10 per cent of the total number of lanes had fallen under the bulldozer. The Becton Corporation had nibbled away Gregory Lane for the 333 Collins Street redevelopment, Melbourne Central (opened 1991) had engrossed eight old laneways, and the Hyatt Hotel had gobbled up another. Critics of such change saw the future as elitist and alienating, with Melbourne in danger of losing a core component of its history. If Irving's lane prints were the wanted poster for rampant development, Bate's book was at once reflective of loss, but in its own way a signal for change." p. 134.
