Waterloo Green Action Plan has arrived !

The group was set up in response to significant concerns about safety issues in the popular Waterloo Green space which provides highly valuable recreational and open space to the local residents of the Waterloo public housing estate. The RWA in response, worked with, the Department of Housing and other government agencies to develop an Action Plan to make Waterloo Green a safer and more user-friendly place. The plan also adopted the recommendations of a community safety audit that was undertaken by the action group with assistance of Redfern Police.

Key actions in the plan include:

• Improving public safety and amenity on and around Waterloo Green.

• Reducing anti-social behaviour associated with excessive public drinking.

• Providing more information about services, events and local interest groups.

• Improving access to key human services.

• Making more use of meeting and activities spaces.

• Improving interaction between older residents and young people.

The Action group welcomes the plan as a significant step forward and will be monitoring it’s progress closely to ensure we see some long awaited tangible results.
