Yarra Park
While Yarra Park undergoes major changes following a change in management, the park remains under the watchful eye of the East Melbourne Group. For many years EMG has lobbied for substantial improvements to the condition of the park while actively campaigning to phase out the practice of car parking on this public space.
Intervention by the former State Government in 2009 secured the future of car parking in Yarra Park. This was met with disappointment by the local community. New managers, the MCG Trust, have made a commitment to radically upgrade the poor condition of the park while offering Yarra Park as a car parking facility for sports events.
The following links give a comprehensive overview of the changes that have occurred since 2009.
