The Heat is on high rises!

Wednesday, 27 November 2024 - 5:30pm to 6:00pm

Shane and Fiona talk to Bill McKenzie, public housing resident and HAAG member, talking about his citizen science work at Layfield Court, one of the older persons high rises in Melbourne, and about the issues of heatwaves in high rises, Homes Victoria's communications about the demolitions, and the roll out of the air conditioning program.

Corrections: The undercounting of heatwave deaths was between 2006-2017, not 2006-2009. More information can be found via the ANU Climate Energy and Disaster Solutions

The airconditioners supplied by Vic Govt were 2.9KvA not 3.9KVA 

Dozens of HAAG members and staff stand in front of a quilted banner, their first raised in the air. The banner reads Housing for the Aged Action Group, housing for the aged is a right not a privilege.
Wednesday 5:30pm to 6:00pm
Housing for the Aged Action Group presents a show exploring a range of housing issues.
