Hi there, I really enjoy using your database so I've gone through and gotten the correct heights for many of Australia's tallest buildings which were very wrong. I've provided sources to emporis and CTBUH.
Eureka Tower, Melbourne: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=1152
Listed as 300m to roof
In fact it is 297.28 m to roof

Bourke Place, Melbourne: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=285
Listed as 253.9 m to spire

In fact this is 224 m, thus spire height should be removed, antenna height should be 253.9 m and official height should be 224 m
