Vulnerable locals who were set to lose their beds today at an inner-city hostel, sheltering homeless people, have been given a three-month reprieve as authorities race to find alternative accommodation.
About 65 residents at Big Bird Backpackers, which started housing people who were sleeping rough during COVID-19, were set to lose their accommodation today after lease negotiations had broken down and the manager had been given until today to find an extra $400,000 a year to keep the doors open.
