Folder Final SMDA Website by REDWatch, last updated: Jan 29, 2013 10:33 AM
The SMDA website was absorbed into the UrbanGrowth Development Corporation website at the beginning of 2013. REDWatch holds a mirror of the site before UrbanGrowth modified the site but this is not suitable to place on this website. Instead we have collected PDF's of the SMDA website content and as the site changes we will create a series of links from a master document which will allow people to explore the final SMDA site text content. Links to underlying documents do not function but where possible we have advised location of this information.
Folder SMDA Archive by REDWatch, last updated: Jan 29, 2013 10:28 AM
This section of the site will contain historical information about the operations of the SMDA. Areas which transferred from the RWA to the SMDA and on to UrbanGrowth NSW for which UrganGrowth NSW are not in this section. Historical statements by the SMDA remain in the "Government SMDA & RWA Statements". Historical material about areas for which the RWA & SMDA had planning responsibility have again not been moved as those historical plans are integral to understanding new developments. The absorption of the RWA by the SMDA and then Urbangrowth NSW makes it difficult to draw clear lines of demarcation between material of historical interest and current relevance. The SMDA website has been absorbed by UrbanGrowth and as historical material disappears from that site it will be found here.
Folder Government, UG, SMDA & RWA Statements by REDWatch, last updated: Jan 29, 2013 10:15 AM
This is a collection of media statements, newsletters, letters to residents, publications and statements produced by Government, the SMDA or RWA about Redfern Waterloo or Government initiative or responsibilities. This may not be a complete collection of media statements as for the first few years Minister Sartor was unwilling to supply media statements to those like REDWatch who they did not class as media. As some Government statements such as draft plans are covered elsewhere on the site we have not repeated this material here.
Folder UrbanGrowth, SMDA & RWA Plans & Activities by admin, last updated: Jan 29, 2013 10:14 AM
UrbanGrowth NSW absorbed the Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority (SMDA) into UrbanGrowth NSW Development Corporation on 1 January 2013. The SMDA had itself absorbed the Redfern Waterloo Authority (RWA) during 2011. This section has information about the Redfern Waterloo Authority (RWA) which was the NSW Government Authority responsible for the Urban Renewal of the Built Environment, Human Services and Employment and Enterprise in Redfern Waterloo between 2005 - 2011. It also includes information about the SMDA's activities in Redfern-Waterloo from 2011 and UrbanGrowth's activities from 2013. Here you will find information about the UGDC, SMDA & RWA, their statements, plans and community responses to those plans. Many development planning roles simply passed from one authority to the next hence they are together here. You can also find up to date information about what has happened and is planned for the various parts of Redfern Waterloo that the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure has had planning control over since 2005. There is also some information on associated developments, such as the CUB site, in which the RWA has an interest as CUB's affordable housing levy was taken by legislation for the RWA and funds affordable housing at North Eveleigh.

File QLD Tenant Participation Program Review 2011 by REDWatch, last updated: Dec 15, 2012 06:27 PM
In July 2010, the Queensland Department of Communities commenced a review of its Tenant Participation program. This review provided the department with an opportunity to consider the fundamental delivery of Tenant Participation for social housing tenants in Queensland. This is the summary report and recommendations. This report has disappeared from the Department's website since the change of Government and it looks unlikely to be implemented. It is potentially of interest to others outside Queensland with an interest in tenant participation. File is 4MB PDF.
