Event Monthly REDWatch roundtable on the inequality of climate change – 6 Feb 6pm by REDWatch, last updated: Feb 02, 2020 05:54 PM
We hear a lot about what people who own their own houses can do to help mitigate the impact of climate change. If you do not control the place you live, then solar panels and making buildings more adaptable are not options. What can a renter or someone in social / public housing to do? How do we tackle our response to climate change so it does not increase inequality in our society? We have asked a few people with expertise in this topic to come along and lead a round table on this topic. Join us on Thursday 6pm February 6 at the Factory Community Centre, 67 Raglan Street, Waterloo.
File DRAFT - Waterloo Impact Project Mapping Local Client Referrals and Agency Services Coordination by REDWatch, last updated: Feb 02, 2020 05:49 PM
This is a Draft report and feedback is being requested. The Waterloo Impact Project explored local perceptions to establish what views existed around the local client referral system and coordination between agencies, both government and non-government, and the needs for any improvement. The consultation consisted of interviews and focus groups with residents and agencies. These conversations highlighted a belief that there is a fragmentation of services and a widespread of imprecise understanding of what organisations are funded to deliver. Service users argue this has resulted in poor outcomes for referrals and service delivery. Meanwhile, services highlighted ongoing resource challenges to meet those needs. This is despite of the diversity of service providers in the area by both government and nongovernment service providers.

On August 6th 2019 REDWatch and Reconnect Redfern presented Transport for NSW a Community Option 5 for the Redfern Station southern concourse. These are the notes from that presentation and should be read alongside the option 5 presentation slides. The presentation argues for five major issues to be addressed in designs for a southern concourse. The presentation also makes the case for a bike and pedestrian concourse between North and South Eveleigh which is missing from the options presented by Transport for NSW.

Image Southern Concourse - Option 5 Image - A community option by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 04, 2019 12:38 PM
This is an image from the the community generated option for the Southern Concourse which locals are taking to surrounding institutions and to Transport for NSW (TfNSW). This proposal is a modification on TfNSW's option 4 which even they admit is not viable. If there is to be only one bridge then it has to accommodate cycle and pedestrian movements across the rail corridor and not just provide much needed universal access the platforms. It needs to link people to platforms 11 & 12 and buses as well as to South Eveleigh. It also needs to link to the future developments at North Eveleigh and avoid the problems of Little Eveleigh Street and Marian Street. It also needs to meet Rail's platform limitations and not provide an elevated barrier at the rear of Little Eveleigh properties. The proposal is a concept only and is not fully worked up. For example the community suggested that the pathway could go through the Telecommunications building rather than above it or around it. The representations of this in the proposal is a possible way of doing this, it is to be treated as concept designs only not an indication of a preferred outcome. REDWatch wishes to thank Damien Minton for leading this project between REDWatch and Reconnect Redfern. We also wish to think Architects Cracknell and Lonergan for drawing up the proposal based on the community brief.

File RWA Railway Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge Proposals by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 04, 2019 11:53 AM
The Redfern Waterloo Authority (RWA) included the need for a pedestrian and cycle connection between North Eveleigh and South Eveleigh. Here we have assembled some of the planning work they undertook. Firstly we have drawn from the final version of the RWA Built Environment Plan showing two possible connections across the rail corridor. It also included illustrations of how a bridge from North Eveleigh to South Eveleigh would operate and how pedestrians would move from the north end of the station to the south. This work was reflected in the North Eveleigh Concept plan so we have included some material on how this was expected to work on the North Eveleigh side. Finally in 2008 the RWA prepared a proposal for a bridge across the railway line which they called the "Eveleigh Heritage Walk". These documents and supporting were exhibited but the proposal was withdrawn and not progressed. The technical documents can still be accessed on the Department of planning website at http://majorprojects.planning.nsw.gov.au/index.pl?action=view_job&job_id=1234 - None of these proposals showed how they would connect to the railway platforms however this was expected in the planning documents.
Image Community Suggestions - Philip Thalis Options Analysis by REDWatch, last updated: Jul 06, 2019 12:28 PM
This graphic, produced by Architect and City Councillor Philip Thalis, compares four Southern Concourse options for Redfern Station. The Red option is TfNSW's preferred option linking Marian Street to Little Eveleigh Street. The Blue option is TfNSW's option 2, which goes around the heritage Telecommunications building. The Green option is the more direct route for the blue option. The Black option addresses the lack of footpath at Marian Street and feeds directly into South Eveleigh. It should be noted however that none of these options currently connect to platforms 11&12 and to the buses. These options also do not include the option of a bridge from North Eveleigh to South Eveleigh that connects to a rail concourse that does not discharge into Little Eveleigh street. Of these options the black option seems to be the option supported by many campaigning to for a better Southern Concourse outcome at Redfern Station.
