Stand together

by Cat Macleod, Bellamo and Cat https://www.bellemocat.com/

Stand together to stop the reckless demolition

of Melbourne’s 44 public housing towers.

Join the call to the Victorian Labor government to: Commission and release detailed evaluations of the structural conditions of each one of the towers. If and only if a strong economic, environmental and social case is made for demolition, then build replacement public housing first, nearby or elsewhere on the estate, and relocate the tenants when complete. End all ‘surplus’ public land sales and use that land to build more public housing. Introduce a mandatory component of public housing in new multi-unit developments on private land.
