Redfern redevelopment plan not about moving Aborigines: Minister - 9 February 2006
Minister
for Redfern-Waterloo Frank Sartor says under the built environment plan there
will be more commercial space to attract jobs and 2,000 new homes in the area.
Mr Sartor
says he hopes the Aboriginal housing company which owns 'the Block' will look
favourably on the plan.
He says it is
not about moving the Aboriginal population from the suburbs.
"There's
nothing in this plan that would displace the existing residents or people in
the area - we are not displacing them - I mean we are wanting to simply provide
more opportunities for them," he said.
