Yarra Council will decide on Tuesday whether to ban alcohol and entertainment in Edinburgh Gardens on Australia Day, in the wake of a destructive party attended by thousands of New Year’s Eve revellers.

But not all councillors support the proposed bans for the North Fitzroy park.

Ratepayers were left with a $30,000 clean-up bill on January 1, after 20,000 revellers descended on the park for six dance parties with amplified music.

They left it strewn with rubbish and broken glass, and damaged lawns, tennis courts, council properties and a power box, according to a council officers’ report.

Council costs for staffing and contractors for New Year’s Eve amounted to more than $21,000, to be added to the rubbish bill.
