It's not getting demolished and rebuilt. They are just demolishing one wing and restoring the oldest part.
NIMBYism would be not wanting new development here. Sometimes I wonder if people nowadays think heritage is exclusively a NIMBY tactic (outside Parliament and nearby pre-war Government buildings).
Personally, I'm happy to see new development, but not at the expense of heritage.
