REDWatch Meeting - Eveleigh Heritage Interpretation Strategy Presentation

The RWA has placed The Eveleigh Railway Workshops Draft Interpretation Plan and Implementation Strategy on exhibition on their website at www.redfernwaterloo.nsw.gov.au/community_consultation/heritage.htm. This is an important proposal from the Redfern Waterloo Heritage Taskforce and Eveleigh Steering Committee processes.

A Eveleigh Heritage Interpretation Strategy was a key concern of heritage groups in 2008 when they asked Minister Keneally to establish the Taskforce.

The site needs an overall Heritage Interpretation Plan that helps people in the future to understand the whole site and how it worked. This is important because the former Railyards will have a number of different owners.

With the winding up of the RWA which has facilitated the Redfern Waterloo Heritage Taskforce process there will be no overall government co-ordinating body. One of the unresolved questions is how to ensure ongoing co-ordination of heritage initiatives across the site following the RWA windup.

The Eveleigh Heritage Interpretation Strategy provides a starting point to ensure there is an integrated interpretation strategy across the former rail yards. How ongoing coordination, promotion and development of the heritage potential highlighted in the strategy is achieved remains to be determined.
