Folder Community Facilities Review - Cred Community Planning - Now in GHD Social Impact Assessment Scoping by REDWatch, last updated: Jan 23, 2012 05:45 PM
The SMDA appointed Cred Community Planning as consultants to undertake a Redfern Waterloo Community Facilities Review for themselves and Housing NSW for the preparation of a Social Infrastructure Plan. In announcing CRED's appointment to undertake the study in July 2011 the RWA said "Cred Community Planning has discussed community facility needs with a number of residents at three of RWA's BEP 2 Community Information Sessions and at two community barbeques” - These sessions in February and March 2011 were the only opportunities for community input that REDWatch is aware of. Workshops were held with Government and Non Government Agencies in July 2011. In January 2012 we here advised by the SMDA that the community facilities planning process has now been integrated with the Social Impact Assessment process to ensure that the two processes undertake an integrated approach and that as such there is no report, not even in final draft form, as a consequence of this action above.
