After reviewing the RWA's heritage strategy heritage interests, local businesses and residents called on the Minister for Redfern Waterloo to establish a committee / round table of government bodies and interested parties to develop a Heritage and Tourism Strategy for Eveleigh. Here you will find information relating to this strategy, starting with the RWA's current two page proposal.

- This is the sum total of the RWA Heritage interpretation Strategy for the Former Eveleigh Railyards as at October 2008. While the HIS was prepared as part of the North Eveleigh preferred Project Proposal it indicates the RWA is considering a wider heritage strategy across the site. The Eveleigh Heritage Meeting of 28 October 2008 called for the formation of a task force / committee of government and non government heritage bodies to develop a comprehensive Heritage Tourism and Interpretation Strategy for Eveleigh. It was widely agreed that the current RWA document was inadequate.
