## Summary

A judge has ordered radio personality Kyle Sandilands to file a defence in a dispute with luxury builder Alter Build over work on his Glenorie mansion. The case concerns an alleged unpaid bill of $240,000 and adds pressure as Sandilands tries to sell the property.

Alter Build says Sandilands agreed to a contract and payment schedule but did not pay for bathroom, kitchen and laundry work. He says the renovation exceeded his budget and he wants evidence supporting the charges before paying. The six-bedroom, five-bathroom home was bought for $3 million in 2022, listed at up to $5.9 million and later repriced to $4.9 million; a court hearing is scheduled for late November.
