National Indigenous Development Centre Response to Submissions

In June 2007 the Department of Planning placed on public exhibition the Environmental Assessment documents for the proposed National Indigenous Development Centre (NIDC). The NIDC is to be constructed on the site of the old Redfern Public School on George Street. During the 30-day exhibition period the Department received various submissions from the local community and agencies. The Department summarised the submissions and identified the key issues raised. The Director General of Planning then issued a statement of requirements to the Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC), seeking a formal response to the issues raised in public submissions. The ILC submitted its response in August, and on October 8 the Minister for Planning approved the project. The attached documents proves the ILC's response to some of the issues raised.
