  • Yarra Park Questionnaire Melbourne Candidates
    YARRA PARK QUESTIONNAIRE The following four questions about the Melbourne Football Club proposal to build a training oval and their headquarters at Yarra Park were put to all State election candidates in the seats of Melbourne and Richmond and to relevant candidates in the upper house Northern Metropolitan region, with responses requested by Tuesday 3 November MELBOURNE CANDIDATES: Ellen Sandell, Australian Greens 1. Do you believe that open space in inner Melbourne is precious and should be preserved? Open space in inner Melbourne is very precious. It should not only be preserved and protected, but extended wherever possible. We certainly cannot afford to do anything that will take away public parkland. Open public space is vital for our communities; it keeps us healthy, prepares our urban environment for climate change, and cools our cities. I have worked hard with the community to protect public open space, from stopping the East-West Link from destroying Royal Park to supporting the community campaign for the former Peter Mac site to stay in public hands, with appropriate height restrictions to prevent overshadowing of the Fitzroy Gardens. 2. Do you support Melbourne Football Club’s proposal to build a new administration centre and training oval within Yarra Park? No, I do not support Melbourne Football Club’s proposal to build a new administration centre and training oval adjacent to and within Yarra Park. I love football, but Yarra Park is an important community asset on the Victorian heritage register. Green space in the city is rare, and it should be protected for everyone to use, not carved up for development.
