The time has come to review the progress of this new framework and celebrate the successes, and look at the lessons learnt and plan together for the framework which will take us through the next two years. So we invite all Residents and Agencies to come along and hear the reports of the action groups and help us to set the vision for the coming two years. Lunch provided This has included groups that looked at Tenant Participation and Maintenance, Learning and Employment Training, Community Safety, and Health. The groups ran a number of initiatives, from community events (such as Summer on the Green, and the Older Wiser Festival), overseeing the Waterloo Green Action plan and facilitating partnership based training courses for local young people.

These groups consisting of local residents and agencies from across sectors meeting regularly and who formed their own action plan to address community priorities set by local residents.

MEETING FOR RESIDENTS AND SUPPORTERS

MONDAY 5 JULY, 5.15pm - 7.15pm

DARLINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOL

(cnr Abercrombie St and Golden Grove, entrance in Abercrombie St)

On 4 June the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Railcorp is considering resuming and demolishing a block of historic houses in North Newtown to make way for a controversial new CityRail ''relief line''.  We have confirmed that this is a real and imminent threat involving all of Leamington Ave and several properties at the bottom of Pine and Holdsworth Streets.  Up to 34 families  face the heartache of  losing their homes and the amenity of the adjoining streets would be destroyed.  Leamington Ave, along with Pine, Randle and Holdsworth Streets, forms part of the historic Pines Estate Heritage Conservation Area.

  •      Our homes are at risk.
  •      Our community is at risk.
  •      Our neighbourhood heritage is at risk.

Transport NSW will decide on its 'preferred rail alignment' in the coming months.  We have a narrow window of opportunity to defeat this proposal. 

Please join us for a meeting with:

  • Carmel Tebbutt, MP, Deputy Premier and Member for Marrickville
  • Kirsty Ruddock, Environmental Defenders Office
  • Brian Watters and Chris Meale, Project Manager for City Relief Line, Transport NSW (invited)
  • Representative from Sydney City Council (invited)

This will be an opportunity for community people to ask Jim their Questions and have a community focused discussion. Jim is the author of “Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way”. You can use these links to find out more about Neighbor Power and see some extracts on Google Books at Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way. The Book can be borrowed from City of Sydney Libraries. Jim has had considerable experience both as a community organiser and then working in Government working with Communities. His experience with dealing with community building, community based planning, shutters on shops, running a Department of Neighbourhoods etc highlight the benefits for both government and communities of working together and have relevance to Redfern Waterloo. Jim has previously done some work with the City of Sydney Council.

REDWatch has previously had a presentation about Jim's work in Seatlle and how it might apply to Redfern Waterloo from Councillor Marcelle Hoff as a result of earlier work done by Jim with the City of Sydney. Jim has also previously spoken at a CoS session for Community Groups in the City of Sydney and there was considerable support for trying some of the initiative he used in Seatlle.

No publisher REDWatch Meeting 2010-06-02T00:55:00Z Event REDWatch Monthly Meeting - Housing NSW - Planning Mixed Development in Redfern Waterloo http://www.redwatch.org.au/Events/100803redw At this months meeting we will be joined by Housing NSW for an update on their proposal for the Master Planning for the redevelopment of Redfern and Waterloo public housing. This will be followed by a discussion of what issues have been encountered in other mixed housing developments and what will need to be done to avoid such problkems here. Our Guests at the REDWatch meeting on Thursday will be Bernie Coates and David Lilley from Housing NSW. They will be giving us an update on how HNSW propose to implement the Federally funded Master Planning for the Redevelopment of Public Housing Estates in Redfern and Waterloo.

We have also asked that in addition to the update that we start to get into some of the issues. As the Shelter Conference speakers identified some of the problems that have resulted from mixed housing regeneration in other places we thought this would be a good place to start. We have asked HNSW start off looking at the issues that have been identified elsewhere that will need to be addressed in Redfern Waterloo if such shortcomings are not to be repeated here. This will hopefully focus people on some of the challenges that will need to be addressed. David Lilley is collecting the research evidence relating to the project and is following the debates about social mix within HNSW.

Ross Smith has pulled together some extracts from the Shelter Conference and some other material including some of his Rimfire Review contributions and we have add these to a new section on the REDWatch website called  Social Mix - Will it solve the problems? at www.redwatch.org.au/issues/public-housing/redevelopment/mix. If you have other suggestions as to material that should be added then please let me know. Please have try and have a quick look at some of the material prior to the REDWatch meeting so you are aware of some of the issues to be discussed.

We have also had a bit of a reorganisation of the public housing section of the REDWatch site and there is now a tab on the top of the REDWatch website that leads to at www.redwatch.org.au/issues/public-housing. It is not our intention to cover everything to do with public housing but we do want to focus on Redfern & Waterloo and the issues that need to be addressed in our area. If you want all things public housing I suggest you add yourself to Garry Mallards Tenant Support Network email list and watch your email box fill up. Garry can be contacted at TSN@thenexus.org.au.

Given the interest of the RWA in the public housing issue through BEP2 RWA CEO Roy Wakelin-King may also be in attendance. He is also happy to answer any questions about the Redfern Waterloo Branding Project being undertaken by Roll Up Redfern. The REDWatch Co-ord Group have requested a community statement be issued that explains what the Branding is about.

I hope to see you at the meeting at The Factory Community Centre 67 Raglan Street Waterloo at 6pm Thursday 5 August 2010.

Geoffrey Turnbull
