A battle over mountain views at an upmarket ski town apartment is not going Rich Lister and Liberal Party heavyweight Andrew Abercrombie's way.

At the centre of the fight is a proposal by the Elliott Group of Companies to build a five-storey apartment building – known as Bella Vista – at Mt Buller on a site directly in front of a building where Mr Abercrombie, and his wife, have their own apartment.

Mr Abercrombie's unit occupies level three of the Alto Villas located on Abominable Way. It was designed to take in views to the Great Dividing Range and the development would, in the words of his lawyers, almost "completely obliterate" those vistas.

The battle has now been through the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Supreme Court of Victoria, with Mr Abercrombie unable to get the desired result on either occasion. It is understood he is mulling taking the case to the Court of Appeal.
