Residents win temporary stay on evictions from Melbourne public housing towers amid planned redevelopment.
Residents of three public housing towers in Flemington and North Melbourne will remain in their homes after the Victorian Court of Appeal granted an injunction blocking Homes Victoria from issuing eviction notices, pending a potential High Court challenge.
The decision halts the state government’s plan to demolish and rebuild 44 public housing sites by 2051, citing the significant disruption eviction would cause.
Residents previously lost their case in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal but are now seeking special leave to appeal to the High Court, with the application expected by Monday.
The Court of Appeal ruled the injunction was necessary to preserve the status quo and ensure fair administration of justice.
The High Court’s review could take months.
