POLICE and council are fighting against Melbourne’s homeless again after they set up a new camp in the CBD.
After being forced to move on from sleeping outside Flinders Street Station earlier this year, a number of homeless people have set up camp just down the road, on the corner of Flinders Street and Market Street under a bridge. https://www.news.com.au/national/vi...e/news-story/b1987d645644bfaae9235d50aacb89dc
2017 Some of the people lining Flinders Street say they are where they are because they want a safe place to sleep.
“We’re not begging and we’re not hurting anyone. What we need is somewhere decent to live — not to be victimised,” one of the rough sleepers, Tracy, told AAP.
The homeless camp moved to Flinders Street station after they were kicked out of Enterprize Park near the Yarra River in Melbourne’s CBD.
The city’s homeless established a tent village but the council moved them along in the middle of last year. Fairfax Media reported the council slapped eviction notices to their tents in June, telling them they had just hours to move all their camping equipment.
For those sleeping rough, that meant finding a new home somewhere else on the streets of Melbourne. The council told the homeless by law, people weren’t allowed to camp in public places. “They’ve been moved from one area and ended up at Flinders Street in a much more visible position than they were previous to that,” Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville told reporters.
Melbourne’s Lord Mayor has promised to fight for a new bylaw that bans homeless people sleeping on CBD streets.
Robert Doyle says he will take a proposal to the next council meeting, following the large group of homeless people that have set up camp at Flinders Street Station.
“Police already have powers to arrest for obstruction, for drug use, for threatening or aggressive behaviour, and for begging, and I would like to see them make full use of those powers as well,” he told the Herald Sun.
