The City of Port Phillip council voted to allow staff to confiscate personal belongings of rough sleepers, including bedding, citing anti-social behaviour concerns in St Kilda. Mayor Alex Makin said the policy aims to create a safer environment, with seized items stored at council centres for free collection. A survey found 76.1 percent of respondents opposed the measure.
