“Yarra residents are generally healthy, active and feel safe.”
So says the ‘Safer Yarra Plan Discussion Paper ‘ released this month.
The life expectancy for a male born in 2006 was 79 years, and for a female, 84 years, a significant improvement on a child born 30
years earlier. Yarra ranks around the Victorian average for life expectancy which is among the highest levels in the world.
In a 2008 Council survey, 79% of residents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement:”I feel safe in my neighbourhood”, with a further 13%
answering neutral and only 8% disagreeing.
