Carlton Association
The Carlton Association was a community action group that campaigned on behalf of residents of the suburb of Carlton in Melbourne, Australia, between the years 1969 and 1993. The group was involved in protests against some of the most controversial redevelopment plans in the city’s history and was arguably the most politically successful residents’ action group that Melbourne has seen.
==Beginnings==
The Association was formed in March 1969 by residents of Carlton and neighbouring Carlton North, in order to mobilise opposition to the Housing Commission of Victoria's (HCV) plans to redevelop large tracts of the two suburbs under its program of ''slum clearance''.〔David Beauchamp & Frank Strahan, ‘The Carlton Association’, in Peter Yule (ed), Carlton: A History, Melbourne University Press, 2005, pp.156–165.〕 The HCV had long considered much of the housing stock of the inner suburbs of Melbourne to be unfit for habitation.〔For a comprehensive account of the Housing Commission of Victoria, Renate Howe (ed), New houses for old: fifty years of public housing in Victoria 1938–1988, Melbourne: Ministry of Housing and Construction, 1988.〕 The Commission’s modus operandi involved the compulsory acquisition of dwellings in a designated block, the wholesale demolition of these, and construction of high-rise flats of public housing. The ''commission flats'', as they are known to locals, feature prominently in the skyline of Melbourne’s inner suburbs to this day.〔A total of 47 high-rise flats were built by the HCV in the inner suburbs of Melbourne between 1962 and 1974. George Tibbits, “‘The Enemy Within Our Gates’: Slum Clearance and High-Rise Flats”, in Howe, op cit, p.124.〕 The first such complex of high-rise Commission flats in Carlton, announced in 1957, was constructed in the block bordered by Lygon, Rathdowne, Princes and Neill Streets. Despite vocal protests by residents whose houses were ‘reclaimed’ to make way for this development, the response from the Commission to these and other voices of opposition was invariably that ‘broader community goals must take preference over individual interests’.〔Tibbits, op cit, p.155.〕
When additional plans to redevelop of Carlton emerged in the mid-1960s, a group of Carlton traders published a vociferous pamphlet attacking the proposal under the title “HANDS OFF CARLTON”.〔“HANDS OFF CARLTON”, published by the Carlton Business and Property Owners’ Association, 1966.〕 Whilst the long-term goal of the Commission was to redevelop this entire block of land, the Commissioners focused their immediate attention on a smaller parcel of land within this selected area: the block bounded by Lee, Lygon, Princes and Drummond Streets in Carlton North, containing nineteenth century terrace housing. However, this proposal was met with significantly more opposition from locals, who, this time around, were able to organise themselves effectively.
