RESIDENTS RECLAIM INNER CITY

Summary of article in The Age 20/03/2010

- 1/3 of Melbourne's population growth is happening within 15km's of the city
- Inner and middle suburbs are seeing thousands more people on their streets due to infill housing and unit development (good hub locations!)
- Docklands and Southbank housed less than 4000 ppl in 1996. Mid - late 2008 there were over 30,000. This is roughly half of all people living in the CBD
- 6/10 most advantages census districts were new apartment blocks in Docklands, Southbank, Port Melbourne and the CBD

This is great news for us - more people to use our bikes!
