Assistance for communities in high-rise towers

Yarra City Council
Yarra high-rise public housing tower

On Wednesday, the Victorian Government released its Housing Statement, committing to retiring all older high-rise towers across Melbourne. In light of this, we would like to direct Yarra residents to the most reliable source of information on this topic.

We understand that many Yarra residents may have concerns or questions about this project, particularly those who live in high-rise public housing towers in Yarra.

We would like to reassure residents that no one will need to move from their homes right now, or even soon. This work is due to commence by 2031 and conclude in 2051, with the first 5 towers slated to be redeveloped sitting outside of Yarra.
