Melbourne is going through an unprecedented time and the city has released evidence showing how the city has changed completely.
Victoria's new normal inside a lockdown bubble is obviously affecting its normally vibrant atmosphere, but new data has shown just how much the city has changed.

City Council Lord Mayor Sally Capp this afternoon revealed that pedestrian sensors show foot traffic in the CBD is down "about 90 per cent" compared to this time last year amid coronavirus restrictions.
"The city hasn't been this empty for this long in living memory," Capp said.
