■ Yarra City Council has welcomes the announcement about the State Government’s new sobering up centre. “Alcohol use is a complex health issue that can negatively impact on mental, physical and socio-economic wellbeing,” said a Council representative. “We acknowledge the positive impact access to health and wellbeing supports can have for people experiencing social or economic disadvantage, or who have chronic health issues. “The State Government’s health-led model will support people with a combination of harm reduction outreach and the sobering up centre. “Council notes that the health-led model responds to key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and the coronial inquest into the passing of Aunty Tanya Day. “We are committed to supporting positive health and wellbeing outcomes for everyone in our community,’ the Council statement said.
