Say NO to 'make room' by City of Melbourne council!

The city council should ask the local residents’ opinions before they made the decision. Australia is a democratic country, that’s the reason we love it. The local government should not make decisions without the concent of the majority of local people. And they are not allowed to use homeless people as an excuse for their own convenience.

I am strongly against the use of the corner of Rose Lane and Little Bourke Street as a homeless shelter by end of July 2021.

Society should help the homeless when it can. The issue here is not only the economy, but the other factors listed. You have chosen to highlight only one of many points described in the petition. Safety and security was repeatedly mentioned in the comments.

My heart goes out to the homeless who are earnestly attempting to rebuild their lives. I have, on multiple occasions, tried to give food and money to some of them, only for them to be rejected saying that "it isn't enough money" or "no thanks, I am not hungry." This suggests that they are well fed, they have choices. Once, I gave some notes to a homeless man near my place of work, next minute I see him walk into a store and come out with a pack of cigarettes.

The homeless people in the CBD are increasingly aggressive. I have lived in the city for more than five years and can confidently say the city's safety is at an all time low. The city is already crowded, there are certainly better places to rehabilitate the homeless than in amongst small children and young families. There are pockets of West Melb CBD that are absolutely unsafe to walk around in at night, it never used to be like this and it is saddening to see! The solution is not to concentrate them next to where 5,000+ are living. This was a decision not thought through.

Businesses aside, let's focus on residents only. The community here is comprised of a variety of people - students, families with children, young and old couples. These residents have contributed to and invested in living a full life here. Why is it that they must sacrifice their security and safety when they have worked hard to obtain a home for themselves? It goes both ways - it's not that the homeless shouldn't receive accommodation, but that it should be elsewhere because their presence causes unrest, uneasiness and stress to passers by. They need mental and emotional support and a job for income. Many of the homeless are rarely sober, they substance abuse and this is not a desirable atmosphere to have at our front door. This is not classist, just simply a matter of safety and security and creating a homely environment.

All Australian know that the government supports the homeless financially. How this money is spent is entirely up to them. Nothing is black and white.

Signing because With proper planning homeless should be situated where land is not at premium , Toorak, Melbourne City council office, race courses , airports next to the Parliament house. These places provide possible employment opportunities.

Worried and scared about my own and neighbourhood safety

Takuma Kohigashi (Melbourne , 2021-07-11)

The location of this proposed shelter is totally inappropriate and in conflict with the planning objective and development over the past 8 years. It will also create further amenity issues.

Al Kennedy (Melbourne, 2021-07-12)

I'm signing because I am an owner/resident of the Madison Tower Complex at 639 Lonsdale street Melbourne. My wife and I are senior citizens and we have had an abundance of problems in the area culminating in many assaults, robberies, owners parking cages being slept in and robbed continuously. Security has been upgraded recently to try and lessen these serious problems. Personally, there were signs that people were sleeping in my cage of which had been cleaned out gradually by thieves over the seven year period that we have lived here, and of which police have been called upon numerous times. No more problems for us please, as we are both in our mid-seventies and wish to have some normality returning in our lives.

We moved to our building looking for a safe environment and looking at rose lane as one of the attractions of nearby areas.
I am totally against getting homeless and junkies around us or around our buildings.
Thank you

I’m signing this because I live close to this Make Room building. I think building a Make Room in the CBS will negatively affect the living condition and public security of nearby resident.

Xulu Huang (Melbourne, 2021-07-12)

This has been done without speaking to residents, owners, businesses within the vicinity and will have a profound affect on Rose Lane.

The concepts are not in line with current and future area needs. More details on demographics of proposed usage is required.

I’m a student who live in this area in the next three years. I totally oppose this project as I’m scared of being assaulted and threatened.

It doesn't solve the root problem and will cause extra problems to CBD residents.

Shijia Yang (Melbourne, 2021-07-13)

I live at this at this location. I feel not safe that the homeless shelter is next to my home and work. I have nothing against homeless shelter, but it shall not be in the dense and busy CBD.

as a woman that living alone I want to be safe that's why I moved to CBD and now the government is doing this? No. :)

Kiki Han (Melbourne, 2021-07-14)

I’m signing because this project has not consulted residents and businesses on Rose Lane to address their concerns and the challenges of the area. This project has excluded the concerns of the greater collective people of the neighbourhood. It is an incomplete structures of case studies that only address the positive, ignoring the negative impacts that this project will impose on the neighbourhood, and ignore the true concerns.

Nick Mac (Melbourne, 2021-07-14)

There are multiple residential buildings here and this will make the area unsafe

It is important that people living in the community are consulted with any decision impacts on closely their life.

ZAI SUN (Corio, 2021-07-18)

#798

I agree with the points in the letter - there are better options to help the homeless and better location to establish the shelters.
Moreover, it is not acceptable that the plan is not being properly consulted with the residents in the affected area.
