Summary of the SIA Recommendations for Explorer Street Eveleigh
by REDWatch, last updated: Nov 19, 2023 10:22 PM
This is a searchable PDF of the Section 8 of the Explorer Street, Eveleigh Social Infrastructure and Social Impact Assessment. This section summarises the recommendations from the SIA that are assessed in the earlier section 7. Appendix F deals with the scoping of the issues and Appendix G deals with the assessment of significance against the DPE SIA framework. As the issues or the redevelopment of an existing public housing estate in Eveleigh will be similar to the issues faced on other inner city public housing redevelopments (such as Waterloo) we have extracted the SIA recommendations as they are likely to have a wider audience that Explorer Street.
Towards a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) for Waterloo
by REDWatch, last updated: Nov 19, 2023 10:22 PM
Eight years into the Waterloo redevelopment there has still not been a Social Impact Assessment (SIA), it is not required until the first Development Application (DA) probably in 2025. The Department of Planning undertook a SIA for the rezoning of public housing at Explorer Street Eveleigh in 2023 using the state government’s SIA requirements as part of a joint SIA and Social infrastructure study. As the Eveleigh site has an existing public housing community that will be impacted, the findings of that SIA portion gives us a good starting point to think about what should be covered in a Waterloo SIA. The social infrastructure element of the Eveleigh report is site specific and is not readily comparable to Waterloo.
Explorer Street, Eveleigh Social Infrastructure and Social Impact Assessment (fully searchable PDF)
by REDWatch, last updated: Nov 19, 2023 10:21 PM
This is a copy of the Social Infrastructure and Social Impact Assessment for Explorer Street that is searchable as a PDF. The report on exhibition have pages throughout the report that are not searchable and hence make it difficult for interested people to find all the references that may occur. As the Social Impact Assessment Section of this report is of potential relevance to other public housing redevelopments in the inner city and was undertaken for the Department of Planning and Environment, REDWatch has performed an optical character recognition (OCR) on the non text pages. OCRs are not perfect so users should check the PDF search result against the underlying text. It maybe that some search occurrences may not show up if the OCR has not correctly identified the letters correctly. Users of this document should hence exercise their own judgement in extracting text and check it against the underlying image. Even though the OCR process may create errors this process makes this document much more accessable to users who wish to find parts of the document that might be of interest.

People Power in Cities - Presentation to REDWatch by Kurt Iveson 5 Oct 2023
by REDWatch, last updated: Oct 15, 2023 07:23 PM
This is a recording of a presentation to REDWatch in October 2023 on YouTube. This session was well received by attendees and should be of value for tenants, activists, NGOs and political party members - basically anyone interested in change. Around Australian public housing estates and in the wider civic society there are a range of different approaches to how people bring about change. Kurt Iveson from Sydney University started with asking attendees to explore strategies to get a pedestrian crossing at his local school and then relates this to the ways different communities around the world bring about change. What can we learn from what is happening elsewhere? And how can our communities have a greater say over what happens to them? Kurt’s around the world research with Amanda Tattersall identifies five models people are using to bring about people power and change. They call these 5 approaches playing the game, mobilising, organising, prefigurating and parties and Kurt unpacks the strengths and weaknesses of these different approaches.
