This month we talk to Paul Adams about the 1991 Coode Island fire, its legacy and the ongoing risk of it all happening again.
In our second segment, we talk to Kate Breen, affordable housing advocate and founder member of the Reimagining Old Footscray Hospital Community Group about the history of the site, what the community wants from this once in a lifetime opportunity to develop public land as a community asset, and about the State government’s response.
You can find the group on facebook and instagram, and at https://oldfootscrayhospital.org/ or email them at oldfootscrayhospital@gmail.com. If you can beat the deadline, you can respond to the proposed planning ammendment at https://engage.vic.gov.au/draft-maribyrnong-planning-scheme-amendment-c193mari
