Redfern Brand
A Redfern Brand was launched on 5th February 2011 by the NSW Premier Kristina Keneally and Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore. The brand had been developed by Frost for the Roll Up Redfern Group made up of the City of Sydney Council, The Redfern Waterloo Authority, The South Sydney Business Chamber (formally Redfern Waterloo Chamber of Commerce), REDWatch and South Sydney Rabbitohs. While REDWatch has concerns about the Brand engagement process, REDWatch has collected material about the Brand and the process used to develop it so it is readily available to the community.
- REDWatch involvement with Redfern Brand
- REDWatch is a member of the Roll Up Redfern Group which as one of its activities has developed the Redfern Brand. While REDWatch is a member of Roll Up Redfern, REDWatch has deferred use of the Redfern Brand on this website and elsewhere until there is greater community understanding of the need for the brand and community support for the new brand. This may happen as the result of a communications strategy which is being developed. REDWatch has argued unsuccessfully for much greater community involvement in the development of the brand and in testing the results within the community before the brand was adopted. Some of REDWatch's concerns were expressed in an email to the Roll Up Redfern Group on 7 July 2010. An excerpt of the email is provided below. For balance we have also supplied an extract of the RWA response. The community statement requested in the email was never produced. We provide this explanation in response to a number of questions and expressions of concern about REDWatch's association with the Brand project.

Frost Presentation on Brand Development
- This is a presentation given by design company Frost on 27 July 2010 to a group of local people who had previously met with Frost to help identify some of the characteristics of the local area. This was after the desk research and meetings with local people and after the survey of 300 people within a 10km radius. All this fed into Frost’s identification of the brand values and the core brand idea of Welcoming Spirit before they developed the Redfern smile logo. We have made this presentation available as it shows the process that Frost went through to identify the underlying brand values. File is 1.1Mb PDF.

Redfern Precinct Business Study
- In 2008 the City of Sydney engaged Environmetrics to undertake a study of the Redfern Business Precinct. This is the final report from that study. Concern about Council proposing to note the study rather than follow up the issues lead to pressure on Council to address some of the issues raised.
