New Harbourfront Boss Commits to Redfern

Mr Domm will remain in his role at the RWA until projects such as the Redfern Station upgrade and North Eveleigh development are finalised.

The Foreshore Authority has responsibility for managing The Rocks and Darling Harbour along with sites such as the new Ballast Point Park.

Mr Domm told Central he looked forward to taking up the new role but would not be forgetting the Redfern-Waterloo area.

"I remain committed to the area and will be seeing through a number of major projects such as the renewal of North Eveleigh, the release of the next phase of the Human Services Plan, various initiatives to boost affordable housing in the area and the renewal of public housing," he said.

"There are also a number of projects in the pipeline, such as the new $10 million community health centre."

Planning Minister Frank Sartor said Mr Domm had done an outstanding job at the RWA, and before that as the general manager of Sydney Council. Mr Domm is set to start the new role on July 21.

Geoff Turnbull from community group REDWatch, set up to monitor the activities of the RWA in 2003, said it could be years before Mr Domm left, as many projects were long term items.

"It's quite likely he will stay on until the RWA is wound up and will then retain his position as managing director of the Australian Technology Park," Mr Turnbull said.

Mr Domm takes over from the Authority's current CEO, Dr Robert Lang, who will become general manager of Parramatta Council.
