Council to assist boat owners
The City of Melbourne is looking to compensate boat owners at Yarra’s Edge where recent floods have resulted in a massive litter problem and associated clean up bill.
Cr Peter Clarke said it wasn’t fair that users of Marina YE faced the clean up bill when the litter had come from miles away upstream.
He said river currents meant that litter became trapped in the Yarra’s Edge Marina.
Cr Clarke said councillors had determined in principle support for financial compensation and that a report would be prepared for formal consideration.
