CBD Injecting Room

We are humans, we don’t minimise harm by creating harm to others

August 23rd, 2023 – Rafael Camillo

Communities are living organisms that are interconnected and where wellbeing must be considered holistically for successful outcomes. Nowhere is this more evident than in the heart of the city where everything has a greater intensity, vibrancy, and dynamism.

The Bourke Hill Precinct Association has asked the Residents 3000 group to share its petition, please feel free to have your say.  Sign the petition at change.org/NoToInjectingRoom.

The Salvos are in the mix for a CBD injecting room as Lord Mayor, Sally Capp, says government delays “highly damaging

July 26th, 2023 – CBD News

Lord Mayor Sally Capp AO says “ongoing conjecture” about where a safe injecting facility will be located in the CBD was taking a toll, as locals surrounding the Salvation Army headquarters speak out against a “ludicrous” proposal.

To support the Bourke Hill Association’s campaign against a safe injecting facility at the Salvation Army building on Bourke Street, you can add your name to the petition at change.org.

Follow-up of Police Community Sentiment Survey event with the Police Association …

The event had a very good discussion about the Victoria Police Community Sentiment Survey 2023 and a variety of other topics, but the most heated ones were again: safety, and injecting rooms. It’s very clear the CBD community is very frustrated with the current situation. The indignation was very evident.

Thank you to Victoria Police, and The Police Association Victoria for your participation, City of Melbourne, and Bourke Hill Precinct Association for your presence and collaboration.

Thank you also to all of our members, guests, and friends who attended and participated at the event.
