The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show

Residents 3000 continues to lobby for a change of venue for this Show. We have nothing against the MIFGS as an event, just the misuse of this World Heritage site each year.We find it hard to believe that there is no detriment to Carlton Gardens, and moreover, the people of Victoria find themselves deprived of this place of recreational enjoyment for as long as MIFGS takes to set up, host the show, and dismantle the stalls…unless of course they want to pay the entry fee!

We also note that cyclists are ignoring the “No Cycling” signs and thoroughly enjoying the changed conditions while the show is setting up…meandering through on their push bikes or just whizzing…

Are we being unreasonable? Here is our letter to the Minister….MIFGS letter to MinisterRyan Smith-1
