Vaping ban divides the community words by Tamara Clark photography by John Tadigiri HEALTH

The City of Melbourne has unanimously passed a ban on e-cigarettes and vaping in selected areas throughout the city. The move comes after councillors voted in favour of a motion to amend council’s local law to align with the Tobacco Act 1987 by including vaping using an e-cigarette at the Future Melbourne Committee meeting on May 5. “The proposed changes aim to strengthen our existing smoke-free initiatives by further protecting children and young people from accessing, using and being exposed to e-ciga- rettes,” Lord Mayor Sally Capp said. “The National Health and Medical Research Council, and the Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy believe that there is insuf- ficient evidence that e-cigarettes have a role as cessation aids, and the Therapeutic Goods Administration has not assessed e-cigarettes for use as a method to withdraw from ▲ A woman enjoys an e-cigareete on Elizabeth St. smoking.” Cr Capp said that the amendment meant using an e-cigarette was now defined as College of Physicians, which have been a leader The council received a number of submis- “smoking” and would be banned in existing in research on this issue, agreed declaring that sions opposing the move, with many asking and future smoke-free areas, such as Bourke so far there is, ‘no direct evidence that passive for scientific proof that vaping is as bad for Street Mall. exposure is likely to cause significant harm’.” you as smoking and questioning whether However, the move by the council has been Associate Professor Colin Mendelsohn ❝ the amendment was “about health or money met with widespread criticism from many from the Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Banning vaping in smoke- making”. in the community, with Reason Party leader Association and School of Public Health and “The City of Melbourne values the health Fiona Patten stating, “vaping isn’t smoking” Community Medicine at University of New free areas sends a message and wellbeing of the community, particularly and that councillors were misinformed about South Wales, also wrote to councillors asking that vaping is as harmful as during and following the current coronavirus vaping. them to postpone the decision until they were pandemic, which is why we are considering

The construction boom in the CBD has been boosted by a state government initiative to use the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis to speed up building and development. The state government has already fast- tracked billions of dollars’ worth of building and development through a taskforce set up to keep the industry running through the crisis. Six huge CBD developments have already been approved. The first to be fast tracked were 555 Collins St and 52-60 Collins St – by Charter Hall and Dexus respectively. The Charter Hall application for a $1.5 billion twin tower project had been lodged in April 2019. The Dexus application for a 26-storey office tower was lodged in August 2019. The proposal had caused some controversy by proposing the partial demolition of the heritage-listed ANU House and raised concerns regarding overshadowing. On May 25 four more CBD developments were added. These were: ▲ 555 Collins St. ▲ 52-60 Collins St. ▲ 640 Bourke St. • A $290 million, 21-storey office building at 140 Lonsdale St, which will become the Melbourne headquarters of the Australian Federal Police (AFP); taskforce would help to “remove barriers to of longer-term projects, including the expan- detailing a series of measures aimed at helping • A 68-storey development at 640 Bourke building and development works” and work sion of social housing options.

The City of Melbourne will install 12 kilometres of pop- up cycling lanes to help the city deal with expected traffic chaos as COVID-19 restrictions ease. Facing reduced public transport capacity and gridlock on the roads, workers are being urged by the council to jump onto two wheels to ease the commuter strain. The temporary lanes will be created by removing on- street parking in busy pedestrian areas, which will also allow for wider footpaths. Details on the locations of the new lanes had not been finalised byCBD News’ deadline, although the state’s peak cycling group Bicycle Network advocated their instal- lation on Exhibition, Elizabeth, Little Collins and Little Bourke streets. The group has recorded a significant increase in numbers on bike paths throughout Melbourne during COVID-19, and said the move should be a permanent one. “Bike rider numbers have boomed in Melbourne so it’s great that something is being done to make sure we can keep riding and maintain physical distancing,” CEO Craig Richards said. “When restrictions begin to lift we won’t be able to use public transport like we used to.

$17 million for local art words by Meg Hill ARTS & CULTURE

The City of Melbourne will invest $17 million in the arts to keep Melburnians connected to our creative sector as the city responds to COVID-19. Lord Mayor Sally Capp said the City of Melbourne’s draft Budget for 2020–21 invested significantly in our arts and cultural sectors. “Melbourne is Australia’s undisputed arts and cultural capital, but these sectors need to be supported due to the severe downturn from COVID-19,” the Lord Mayor said. “Arts and culture are a huge factor in our city’s nation-leading liveability and contribute $31 billion annually to the Victorian economy. “ “Investing in our creative talent now will cement our city’s strengths, while protecting local jobs and supporting billions of dollars in economic activity. More arts and culture in Melbourne means local businesses thrive and more people stay in jobs. “ Arts, Culture and Heritage portfolio Chair Councillor Rohan Leppert said the funding would enable creatives to continue to work through the shutdown by developing new works and online projects. “We will invest $4.6 million for arts programming and artist support across ▲ A previous Test Site workshop held at Federation Square. our ArtPlay children’s space at Birrarung Marr, the Signal creative studio for young people along Flinders Walk and our Arts House contemporary perfor- mance space in North Melbourne,” Cr Leppert said. experience.

METRO TUNNEL SALVOS Putting the relationship first

The massive crack of thunder and the blin- dingly bright flashes of lightening smashed the darkness in my bedroom to smithereens and snapped me from my slumber at 3am in the morning. But the one thing that kept me awake for the rest of the night was the image of the man that had literally positioned himself inside a bridge to sleep. As that man’s mind began to relax and his body slowly began to recuperate from the hours upon hours that he had spent mindlessly wandering the streets of the city, he had need- lessly put his life at risk by sleeping on the very edge of a rapidly and unexpectedly rising Yarra River. People are doing all they can to ensure that the city’s most vulnerable are kept alive. The City Salvos do all they can to not only keep people alive, but to actually give them a life.
