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.

- On May 25, a map of Redfern Waterloo was published in the Government Gazette. It showed areas declared state significant within Redfern and Waterloo boundaries and included The Block - land privately owned by the Aboriginal Housing Company. Gazetting means planning and compulsory acquisition powers will now move to the recently established Redfern Waterloo Authority. Government documents show control of The Block was always central to the $5 billion redevelopment plan for the area. SAMANTHA DERRICK reports.
