News Item Sydney Local Health District Statement on Installation by REDWatch, last updated: Feb 06, 2013 02:45 PM
The following statement was released by Dr Teresa Anderson, Chief Executive of Sydney Local Health District (SLHD), on 5 February 2013 to the South Sydney Herald (SSH). SSH requested a statement when the Automatic Syringe Dispensing Machine was installed as this had not been “disclosed at last week’s meeting”. This was the position taken in the print issue of SSH which went to press before the statement below was received. The statement below claims that “the decision to install the machine was announced at a public meeting in Redfern on January 29”. The SSH writer who was at the meeting has subsequently checked with four other meeting attendees with different views on the proposal. They all left with the impression that SLHD looked set to press ahead but none recalled a specific announcement and certainly no reference to an installation date within the week reports South Sydney Herald online on 6 February 2013.

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.
