Groundswell seeks expert input for Waterloo South
by REDWatch, last updated: Apr 06, 2022 07:19 AM
The Groundswell agencies have written to academics and planning specialists asking them to support public housing tenants by making expert comment on the Waterloo Planning proposal. While public tenants bring their expertise from living and knowing a location, academics and specialists often know the finer detail that is import for planning authorities to consider. Both kinds of input are important for Waterloo. This letter has been sent out by the Groundswell agencies to their contacts and they are encouraging everyone to make a submission and share it if possible.

Vigilanti Waterloo South Planning Proposal Presentation
by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 28, 2022 04:18 PM
Eddie Ma and his team at Vigilanti has been working with public housing tenants sharing his Architectural expertise during the Waterloo South consultations. Eddie has reviewed the planning proposal documents published by DPIE and prepared a summary of his findings from the documents in simple English with graphics so the community has all the information they need to make their submission by Friday 29th April, and to have their say on the proposal. He has tried to provide some answers and context to the questions and concerns raised during the consultation process. In agreement with Eddie Ma, REDWatch is happy to make the presentation as accessible as possible through its website as a useful resource in understanding and responding to the proposal.

Overshadowing Drawings for Waterloo (South) Planning Proposal
by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 13, 2022 06:24 PM
The Overshadowing Drawings for the Waterloo (South) Planning Proposal are only found in the Appendix B of the Addendum to urban design report by Hassell. To enable easy access to these drawings that give information of the shadows at different times of the day mid winter and mid summer and at the Equinox, we have extracted them and placed them on the REDWatch website for download.
Land Use Zones Proposed for Waterloo South
by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 13, 2022 05:20 PM
The Waterloo South planning proposal proposes changing land uses the existing residential R1 and 2b zones to RE1, and business zones B2 and B4 for the area. The B4 zone is mitigated by applying in the LEP a Restricted Retail Development over this area which limits shops to 1,000 square metres. The LEP also incudes an active street frontage map where uses that will activate the public domain are required. Below we have provided the LEP Zone definitions from the Sydney Local Environment Plan 2012 that would apply to the site. The definitions set out the objectives of each zone, what is permitted with and without consent and what is prohibited. While the planning proposal sets out proposed uses, the land use zones set out what a land owner or developer may also be able to do on that land which may be quite different. We have also supplied the Restricted Retail Development and Active Street frontages map for completeness.

by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 13, 2022 04:37 PM

Solar Access for buildings in the Waterloo South Project Proposal
by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 07, 2022 06:08 PM
This diagram illustrates the percentage of solar access to the internal and external perimeter of the building facades for each development block in the Waterloo (South) planning proposal between 9am and 3pm mid winter. Yellow shows greater than 2 hours sun and blue shows less than 2 hours sun. It it from page 114 of the Addendum to the urban design report prepared by Hassel. Apart from section 4.7 (page 123-126) in the same report on the impact of the 4th tower there are no solar access diagrams in the planning proposal that relate to the planning proposal on exhibition. None of the maps in the urban design report for solar access to streets, open spaces, communal open space or deep soil zones that showing how many hours of sunlight different areas get for the preferred plan receives have been done for the exhibited proposal.
REDWatch Easy Access Waterloo South LEP
by REDWatch, last updated: Mar 07, 2022 10:53 AM
REDWatch has created this easy access version of Waterloo South planning proposal maps. For each of the draft controls to go into the City of Sydney Local environment Plan there are two pages because the join between two of the pages runs through the north western tip of Waterloo South. REDWatch has created this pdf from the sheets in the draft maps covering the bulk of the estate. The only major omission is that the active street frontage on wellington Street continues around the corner into Cope Street.

Clover Moore to REDWatch regarding Council Community Centres
by REDWatch, last updated: Feb 24, 2022 06:51 PM
In February 2022 REDWatch became aware of questions circulating about the future of Council's Community Centres and facilities. REDWatch wrote to Council about what we had heard and asking for assurances that Redfern Community Centre and Waterloo Library would continue to service our local communities. The attached response from Lord Mayor Clover Moore provides these assurances and responds to some misinformation that is circulating. REDWatch is making the letter public so people have access to Council assurances regarding the future of council provided services in our area. REDWatch has run an optical character recognition (OCR) program across this letter so people can easily extract quotes from the letter however please check the copy against the visual text as errors can occur with OCR.
