Deadline arrives for homeless to leave campsite

The deadline for homeless individuals to vacate a campsite near Wagga Wagga's CBD has passed, but many continue to face challenges in finding alternative housing. The move-on orders were part of a New South Wales government emergency response following the tragic death of an infant at a nearby campsite. Residents like JJ, who has lived at the site for over a year, express frustration over the lack of available accommodations and ongoing support. NSW Housing and Homelessness Minister Rose Jackson stated that all campers have been offered housing, though not everyone accepts these options. Vickie Burkinshaw from the Wagga Women's Health Centre raised concerns about the suitability of the proposed housing solutions, noting that some individuals have been displaced from temporary accommodations. The situation highlights broader issues of homelessness and the adequacy of support services.
