Yarra Residents Collective
@yarraresidents.bsky.social
Residents & ratepayers in the City of Yarra who want to see the council return to putting us first. A broken council with a broken culture that needs fixing.
A great outcome and win for the residents of Clifton Hill who can sleep well again. It shows the importance of a strong campaign of locals when things seem hopeless.

A great win after a campaign by Clifton Hill residents following Metro "upgrading" the bells to new electronic ones which broadcast across the neighbourhood. (1/6)

The decision by Yarra Council to call for the Medically Supervised injection room to be moved is the correct one and a watershed moment in the History of Yarra. It acknowledges that mistakes have been made and represents the residents who the prior policy had failed. (1/11)

The state government refusing to listen to Clifton Hill locals is cruel and unusual punishment. Solutions exist which will let residents sleep again but the State Government and Metro are stubbornly refusing to budge and compromise.

Noisy machinery 3am in the morning multiple times is just taking the piss a little bit. Every contractor knows this is against noise laws. Residents around Victoria Park in Abbotsford need to be treated with respect.
Now, to fix the Clifton Hill Ramsden St obnoxiously loud bells...

Richmond is going to be included in an expanded congestion levy zone for parking which is clearly just a new tax to revenue raise to pay for the State government's deficit. (1/4)

Good. The MAV is self serving and not in the interests of residents and ratepayers. They are one of a handful of lobby groups which operate in this space.
The MAV has previously supported things like the bin taxes and more recently the state mandated ESV levy.

The entire existince of the MSIR was based on a social contract with locals that it would improve the area. It has not. It made worse. From the article:

You really have to wonder why the last Yarra council was in such a rush to do "ME FIRST" and sign up for glass recycling, which virtually anyone with common sense would have advised to wait and see before signing up for a lot of cost for questionable benefit. (1/2)

It's about celebrating the heritage and intrinsic link between Richmond and the footy. If you go to any other state and mention Richmond, the first thing people think of is the footy.

If the state government wants to introduce new taxes, they should at least own it. Getting councils to do their dirty work at grassroots level is a bit pathetic and spineless.
