Albion St Eyesore

Melbourne’s City of Moreland, amongst other city councils has the unenviable task of hosting some dodgey suburbs within its infrastructure.

Brunswick West also houses cheap accommodation in the form of housing commission, and flats for low income / people with special needs.

In the never ending quest to upmarket its suburbs, new housing projects are undertaken, and high prices are associated, in order to lure a ‘better’ class of people.

The focus is on a particular project that has been an eyesore for the past two years with zero progress to rectify the incompetence of the individuals involved. An apartment block has been constructed on the corner of Albion St and Meville Rd, Brusnwick West. Irrespective of one’s personal taste, the outside of the dwelling has been covered in bathroom tiles. Over a very short period of time, these titles have slowly been falling apart, in an area where pedestrians walk.

Not only the architect / builder who designed this should be held accountable, but most importantly, the Moreland City Council kindergarten ‘engineer’ who approved this dwelling, should be publicly flogged for such incompetence.

The dwelling has been in this condition for the last two years, with no pregress, creating an eye sore, and most importantly possible dangerous conditions, (which could be open for litigation) for passing pedestrians.
