It opened in 1848 as a ward of the Asylum at Tarban Creek in New South Wales. It was not officially called Yarra Bend Asylum until July 1851 when the <a href="/wiki/Port_Phillip_District" title="Port Phillip District">Port Phillip District</a> separated from the <a href="/wiki/Colony_of_New_South_Wales" title="Colony of New South Wales">Colony of New South Wales</a>. Prior to the establishment of Yarra Bend, lunatic patients had been kept in the District's gaols. Yarra Bend was proclaimed an Asylum under the provisions of the Lunacy Statute 1867 (No.309) in the Government Gazette in October 1867. </p><p>From its establishment until 1905 the institution at Yarra Bend was known as an asylum. This title emphasised its function as a place of refuge rather than a hospital which provided treatment for mentally ill people who could possibly be cured. The Lunacy Act 1903 (No.1873) changed the title of all "asylums" to "hospitals for the insane". This Act came into operation in 1905. Despite the change in designation the function and structure of the agency was unchanged. The title was altered to reflect the community's changing attitude towards mental illness and the Victorian Government's approach to the treatment of mentally disturbed persons. </p><p>An asylum/hospital for the insane was any public building proclaimed by the Governor-in-Council in the Government Gazette as a place for the reception of lunatics. An asylum could also provide wards for the temporary reception of patients as well as long term patients. Patients could not be retained in an asylum without a warrant requesting their admission. Prior to 1867 the warrant was signed by the Governor. After this date the Chief Secretary (VRG 26) was responsible for this function. Under the provisions of the Lunacy Act 1914 (No.2539) patients could also be admitted to a hospital for the insane on a voluntary basis, that is, on the patient's own request for a specified period of time. </p><p>The Yarra Bend Asylum was situated near the junction of <a href="/wiki/Merri_Creek" title="Merri Creek">Merri Creek</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Yarra_River" title="Yarra River">Yarra River</a> near the former site of <a href="/wiki/HM_Prison_Fairlea" title="HM Prison Fairlea">Fairlea Women's Prison</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Decline_and_closure">Decline and closure</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yarra_Bend_Asylum&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Decline and closure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Yarrabendpillar.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Yarrabendpillar.jpg/180px-Yarrabendpillar.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="240" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Yarrabendpillar.jpg/270px-Yarrabendpillar.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Yarrabendpillar.jpg/360px-Yarrabendpillar.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1944" data-file-height="2592" /></a><figcaption>A pillar from the gates of Yarra Bend Asylum. It is the last remaining structure of the asylum and is situated on the west side of Yarra Bend Road, just north of the Eastern Freeway cutting.</figcaption></figure> <p>The Government of Victoria originally intended that Yarra Bend would be closed once <a href="/wiki/Kew_Asylum" title="Kew Asylum">Kew</a>, <a href="/wiki/Aradale_Mental_Hospital" title="Aradale Mental Hospital">Ararat</a> and <a href="/wiki/Beechworth_Asylum" title="Beechworth Asylum">Beechworth</a> asylums were established. However, the gold rush caused a population explosion in the colony, increasing the burden on the new asylums. This was compounded by the practice of housing '<a href="/wiki/Alcoholism" title="Alcoholism">inebriates</a>', '<a href="/wiki/Idiot" title="Idiot">idiots</a>' and '<a href="/wiki/Mental_retardation" class="mw-redirect" title="Mental retardation">imbeciles</a>' at lunatic asylums up until the 1880s. </p><p>Overcrowding, and the primitive living conditions, were problems at Yarra Bend over a long period. The overcrowding was relieved to some extent when new asylums were opened at <a href="/wiki/Royal_Park_Hospital" title="Royal Park Hospital">Royal Park</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mont_Park_Asylum" title="Mont Park Asylum">Mont Park</a> in the metropolitan area, and <a href="/wiki/Sunbury_Asylum" title="Sunbury Asylum">Sunbury</a> outside the metropolitan district. Victorian Premier <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Bent" title="Thomas Bent">Sir Thomas Bent</a> decided in 1905 that no more money was to be spent on Yarra Bend, and the buildings fell further into disrepair. Despite that, the asylum continued to operate until new admissions eventually ceased in 1924, and the institution was finally closed in 1925. All remaining patients were transferred to <a href="/wiki/Mont_Park_Asylum" title="Mont Park Asylum">Mont Park Asylum</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Demolition_and_later_use">Demolition and later use</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yarra_Bend_Asylum&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Demolition and later use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1926 many of the wooden buildings were demolished, leaving the <a href="/wiki/Ha-ha" title="Ha-ha">ha-ha wall</a>, gateway and infirmary building.<sup id="cite_ref-walk_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-walk-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The closure of the asylum saw much of the land released for public use.
