- Central to Eveleigh – Some REDWatch Concerns
- Prior to the June 2014 UrbanGrowth NSW (UG) focus groups REDWatch raised some concerns about the process proposed with UG. Subsequemtly REDWatch produced the document below to place our concerns in the public domain and to make these concerns available to other groups and stakeholders. The paper below seeks to explain these concerns and put them on record.
- BEP2 on South Eveleigh Public Housing
- BEP2 also covered Public Housing at Eveleigh. This housing was originally zoned by the Redfern Waterloo Authority in their first Built Environment Plan (BEP1) which covered other sites including parts of the South Eveleigh Railyards. In BEP1 the public housing and adjoining open space remained at existing height. BEP2 proposed to introduce new heights and floor space ratios for South Eveleigh. As Government has now included Eveleigh Public Housing in Central to Eveleigh REDWatch has extracted the key details from the Draft BEP2 to provide easy access to known Government thinking about the site.
