Roads will be built, childcare will be cheaper, new training programs will be supported, aged care is getting a long overdue boost, mental health funding will better meet demand.

A 130-seat luminescent glasshouse – dubbed
The Lighthouse – will be perched on the amphitheatre of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and serve sit-down three-course dinners of freshwater fish and ethically sourced meat from Provenir. I am hell-bent on the idea of a great contemporary restaurant in a festival, it excites me, Moyle says. Why can t we be eating really good food in an environment that isn t where we usually go for meals? Festivals don t have to be all dagwood dogs. Chef David Moyle will have his own pop-up restaurant at Rising Festival.
TRIGGER Food Allergy Awareness
– Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Launceston set to ‘Light It Teal’ For Food Allergy Awareness.
Throughout May, ‘Light It Teal’ will see many buildings and bridges around the world lit up in teal – the colour associated with food allergy awareness. In the United States, New York’s Empire State Building, the JFK Airport Air Traffic Control Tower, Seattle’s Pacific Science Center and Niagara Falls in the Buffalo/Toronto area are all getting ready to glow teal.
In Australia, Light it Teal has partnered with TRIGGER Food Allergy Awareness to light up major landmarks in Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth and Launceston.
Melbourne officials endorse panhandling crackdown, brainstorm homelessness solutions
A list of conceptual goals:
Prevent, reduce, and mitigate the negative impacts of homelessness on citizens, businesses and city operations.
Support and build capacity within the city and community to address homelessness.
Support regulations that increase the safety of roadways and medians for pedestrians and motorists.
Encourage collaboration among city departments, non-profits, businesses and residents to address homelessness.
Retain and increase affordable housing supply. The Parks and Recreation Department has had to make structural changes to facilities to reduce the locations where individuals can hide at night. They have also had to increase cleaning efforts at the parks, park facilities and restrooms, City Manager Shannon Lewis said in a memo distributed prior to the meeting.
