NSW Government
The NSW Government owns about one third of the land area of Redfern Waterloo. The NSW Government is also involed in delivering Human Services into the area inparticular into the areas of high disadvantage. The Premiers Department's Redfern Waterloo Partnership Project operated in the area from 2001 - 2005 attempting to bring the various Government Departments together to address the needs of the Redfern Waterloo communities.

- Morgan Disney Report on Human Services
- Morgan Disney & Associates undertook an Inquiry into Human Services in Redfern Waterloo for the RWPP in early 2004. The report was presented to the Legislative Council Inquiry in to Redfern Waterloo and its key recomenmdations were accepted by the Government as the way forward for Human Services in Redfern Waterloo. The work of the Human Services Advisory Committee and the Cluster Groups in 2005 were part of the implimentation of the morgan Disney report.
- The RED Strategy
- Consultation for the RED Strategy was started in June 2003 by Cox Richardson for the RWPP. When the consultation ended in December 2003 the community was told it would be considered by the NSW Government and then come back for further community consultation before going to the local council for consideration. Instead in late 2004 the NSW Government announced the establishment of the RWA. Neither the Draft RED Stategy nor the reports from the various consultants have been released by the Government despite numerous requests that this information be released to inform community discussion about the RWA and the proposed Redfern Waterloo Plan.
- NSW Cabinet
- The decision to establish the RWA and a number of other decisions flowing from the RED Strategy and RWPP's activities were made by NSW Cabinet. In November 2004 some cabinet documents were leaked to the Sydney Morning Herald and these provided a rare glimpse of the Governments Plans for Redfern Waterloo. In the absence of the RED Strategy consultation reports this is one of the few sources of information about the options considered by the Government.
