Description
In 1953, City of Melbourne workers appeared in George Street, East Melbourne and started to chop down the magnificent elm trees which had lined the street for decades. Residents were outraged and soon realised that this was a battle which would not be easily won. They needed to work together to preserve the heritage of the suburb. From The East Melbourne Group was formed, the earliest residential group to take responsibility for protection of their suburb and preserve its heritage and amenity.
