The day includes presentations from two community renewal experts, one international and one local.

Jim Diers (Neighbour Power: building community the Seattle way - http://home.comcast.net/~jimdiers/index.html) is an expert on community working with Government to achieve renewal. His work in Seattle (USA) over many years is now being replicated across many cities in the world. Jim will bring his toolbox of techniques and inspiration to Redfern and Waterloo for this one off special event.

Jim’s presentation is sponsored by Housing NSW and the Redfern Waterloo Authority with the support of Redwatch.

Bruce Judd (UNSW) Following lunch, a well known Sydney urban planner, Bruce Judd will present Urban Design and Masterplanning 101. He has worked with Housing NSW on several of its major renewal projects – Bonnyrigg, Minto and Airds – and has a long history of working with the Redfern and Waterloo communities on renewal and community development.

Future Community Renewal Research: You will also be presented with an overview of contemporary community renewal research, including research being conducted by Housing NSW. This will be followed by a discussion in which you will be asked to help shape a research program for Redfern and Waterloo.

The discussions of contemporary and future community renewal research will be facilitated by Bernie Coates and David Lilley of the Strategic Projects Division, Housing NSW.
