Good Evening @smittyboi
Your design sounds Interesting, would it be possible for a few pictures of the area that you are wanting an idea for? Probarly an overall shot would also help us out as well.
Without seeing it Id jump in and suggest new plaster over the area (remove the old damaged/glues plaster first) unless the existing plaster doesnt have holes? Mmm It might be better for me to wait for a pic or two 
On that note I would also like to offer a warm welcome to the Bunnings community, perfect place to find out about the question you have!

Hello @smittyboi
Allow me to welcome you as well to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your brick wall.
It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Dave-1. However, it would fantastic if you could share a picture or two of your brick walls. This will will give our members a chance to assess the material that's attached to it. We can then make recommendations on what you can do.
It sounds like an interesting kitchen renovation, I'm sure our members would be keen to see the progress you've made with your revamp. Any chance of a photo of your kitchen project would be very much appreciated as well.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

this is the section I’m interested in flushing and having suit the rest of the wall
Hi @smittyboi,
It sounds like the easiest option would be to plaster over the area. If the sheeting at the top is proud of the lower wall section and since the top sheeting would require some preparation work before it's ready to paint, removing them and re-sheeting the entire wall with new plasterboard might be best to achieve your desired level of finish. Remember your PPE, including a face mask, safety glasses and gloves. Also, be aware of asbestos in older homes wall sheeting. If you haven't had it tested or are unsure, it's best to assume it might contain asbestos until otherwise verified.
Here's a helpful guide: Covering a masonry wall Gyprock plasterboard.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Morning @smittyboi
Nice work so far
I would follow @MitchellMc's recomendation and remove the top and bottom (The top looks like the paper has been torn) and make it easier on yourself especially since you are redong the plaster on the walls. Cant really tell what the bottom part of the wall is? It kind of looks like bricks but I think its the left over tile impressions. If so, how did you remove them without punch the plaster!
Thank you for the photos
Dave
Hi @smittyboi,
I think the confusion lies in the fact that just because a wall is double-brick doesn't mean it can't have plaster over it. As you mentioned above, "half of it is flushed with a material I’m unsure of", so I think we presumed that there's a good chance what looks to be sheeting above and possibly below could be plaster. Thanks for clarifying that the lower section is indeed brick.
My advice still stands as above; it is likely best to remove the mystery material above to achieve a flat surface and then sheet the whole wall with plaster. If you don't want to remove the material above, you'll need to check its thickness and sheet the wall below with something of an equivalent thickness. If you can measure the thickness of the top material and let me know, I can have a look for a suitable material to flush it with.
