A Victorian council is facing backlash from ratepayers who say they feel "ashamed" by its plan to evict long-term campers from a public park.
The City of Greater Bendigo gave residents 14 days' notice on Monday to pack up and leave Huntly Lions Park, saying it would use enforcement action to remove them from Sunday, September 11.
Social justice lawyers have labelled the move a potential breach of the Charter of Human Rights.
