A Melbourne city councillor has moved a motion opposing a safe-injecting room anywhere in the CBD, arguing such a centre would cause the cityâs âeconomic decimationâ.
Cr Roshena Campbell made the move on Thursday and the council will now vote on Tuesday over whether to fight a proposed second safe-injecting room on the grounds it would thwart the CBDâs post-COVID recovery.
The proposed site of the new safe-injecting room at 248 Flinders Street, Melbourne.
The Age revealed this week that a new service is expected be located opposite Flinders Street Station, near popular al fresco dining laneway Degraves Street.
