RWA & SMDA register interest in working with Groundswell

The RWA and SMDA welcome all community involvement in the planning for the future of the Redfern Waterloo area.  We believe this is very important to help build the best possible consensus towards lasting positive improvements for the area.

To this end we believe that the groundswell proposal will assist this process accordingly.  Whilst I note that the proposed membership is aimed at non-government organisations at this time, I would like to register the RWA's and SMDA's interest in being actively engaged with this group.  As was evident in the excellent presentations provided by Jim Dier, successful community planning can only really be achieved through effective engagement between government and non-government organizations and community members alike.  We are committed to this outcome. 

As you are aware, with BEP 2 we are preparing for our further rounds of consultation and I am aware that representatives if the RWA and SMDA will meeting with you ... shortly to discuss this.  This will be an excellent opportunity to explore how we can make the next round of consultation all the more effective.  We will also be consulting with other community organisations on this as well.

Again thank you for passing this information on to us. It is greatly appreciated and we look forward to continuing to work with you and Groundswell in the future.

Kind Regards,

CEO RWA
