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.
