REDWatch Submission on Metro Quarter Second Amending Concept SSDA January 2026

This submission covers REDWatch's objections to the proposed removal of community facilities space in the revised proposal and the proposal to only provide childcare facilities when the project scope does not generate the need for additional childcare facilities according to its own Social Impact Assessment (SIA). REDWatch also raises concerns about the SIA not assessing the potential impact of the project on the surrounding public housing community and how that impact might be managed. The submission draws on demographic analysis, the Planning Departments SIA Guidelines and earlier studies to raise concerns about the SIA and the proposal based on it.
