File Millers Point Anouncement Media Pack by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 27, 2014 11:02 PM
The NSW Government & Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) the owner of public housing also produced a media pack in addition to the widely available media release from Pru Goward last Wednesday. Unlike the media release the media pack is not available on line. This media pack is attached and provides a good insight into how the NSW Government & LAHC managed the media event at the same time as keeping this information from NGO’s who may have been able to provide alternative perspectives. In part this probably explains the slant of much of the media reporting about the issue. File is 4 MB PDF.

Folder Millers Point - ridding expensive suburbs of Public Housing by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 23, 2014 04:29 PM
Millers Point is not within Redfern Waterloo but aspects of the March 2014 Government decision to remove public housing from Millers Point has implications for all of Sydney's public housing that sits in areas that are in high demand by the private market and Redfern and Waterloo are rapidly becoming part of that club. While some of the Millers Point public housing was heritage others like the Sirius building does not have high maintenance costs and is ideally suited to older tenants. This housing's only problem was that it is public housing in one of the most desirable parts of the city. The logic of the Sirius sale pushes public housing from the desirable areas to the undesirable fringes of the city. With 4,500 public housing units in Redfern Waterloo the Sirius decision sends a shiver down the back of inner city public tenants. This is why REDWatch has set up this section of our website to explore these issues and to support public tenants in Millers Point in their struggle to stay in Millers Point.

File USyd CIP on Community Consultation by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 15, 2014 11:29 AM
While residents were supposed to be consulted in the preperation of Sydney University's Campus Improvement Program under the Planning and Infrastructure requirements residents were unaware of the CIP until it went on exhibition in February 2014. Planning and Infrastructure said "prior to publicly exhibiting the EIS, the agency thoroughly reviewed the submitted EIS, and determined that Section 10 Community Consultation and Appendix N Consultation Outcomes satisfactorily addressed the DGRs for the purposes of exhibiting the EIS." This document contains the two pages from section 10 of the EIS and the two page Appendix N on consultation that the Department considered adequate for the purposes of exhibition when the Director General's requirements instructed the University to "During the preparation of the EIS ... In particular you must consult with ... Local community groups, including but not limited to: REDWatch – Redfern Eveleigh Darlington Waterloo Watch and RAIDD". Have a look yourself and see what you think.
