REDWatch Comparison of BEP2 and CoS Floor Space Recomendations

The City of Sydney engaged consultants HBO+EMTB to undertake an Urban Design Study for Redfern and Waterloo in 2006. This study formed the basis of the controls City of Sydney placed in their proposed LEP which was submitted to the Department of Planning for exhibition approval in 2010. When the council was given approval to exhibit their LEP the department of Planning instructed them to remove the area covered by the RWA's BEP2. The RWA BEP2 study accepted the Councils controls in the Conservation area but proposed increased controls for the concentrated public housing area. Here REDWatch has compares the floor space recommendations of both studies (provided in the BEP2 Report) and shows how the 35% increase in floor space proposed by the RWA BEP2 is made up.
