The problem here Alan is that heritage can go back for many hundreds of years so a buildng like the Con Club not much more than 100 years old if that is pretty low priority. In Oz the heritage doesn't go back more than 200 years (correct me if I'm wrong) so there are probably fewer buildings to think about preserving.
Just looked at the English Heritage listing for the Con Club and it says "interior of little interest" so they wouldn't worry about the ballroom at all.
