RWA Places BEP 2 on Exhibition Only Until 28th February

What is BEP 2?

Draft BEP 2 is a proposed planning framework to continue the renewal of Housing NSW sites in the Redfern and Waterloo area, including South Eveleigh, over a 20-25 year timeframe. This renewal will provide better residential amenity, public spaces and a more sustainable mix of social, private and affordable housing within the sites to bring long-term benefits for the entire community.

Draft BEP 2 provides the planning controls which will enable Redfern and Waterloo to be redeveloped to provide approximately 7,000 social, affordable and private housing dwellings. The aim is to achieve a mix of 60% private and affordable housing dwellings and 40% social housing.

What benefits will BEP 2 have for the community?

Draft BEP 2 will support development that:

• Provides quality parks, public spaces and built form, integrated with neighbouring areas and the city;
• Provides a safe and sustainable mixed-income community with great urban amenity for all residents;
• Provides good quality homes with modern facilities, suited to the diverse needs of current and future social housing tenants;
• Provides required shops and community facilities for the benefit of the community;
• Maintains and builds on the strengths of the current strong and diverse community;
• Increases the number of new homes built in established urban areas close to public transport, contributing to government targets for additional and more affordable housing; and
• Retains social housing and increases affordable housing in the Local Government Area.
