His work in Seattle (USA) over many years is now being replicated across many cities in the world.

Graffiti Action Day Sunday 2 May 2010
How to become involved:
1. Register. Send an email to graffitiactionday@kabnsw.org.au and advise of your location. You will be assigned a group to join as a volunteer.
2. Confirm the site co-ordinator. The site co-ordinator will usually be from your Local Council. However, if there is not a group in your area Keep Australia Beautiful may ask you to be a site co-ordinator and will send you a site co-ordinator form which needs to be completed before any work can begin. It involves your product requirements, risk assessment of the site and type of surface material you will be cleaning.
3. Get your graffiti kit. Once the site co-ordinator form is processed you will be directed how to pick up your free graffiti clean up kit.
4. Rally volunteers. If you are a site co-ordinator you will need to rally volunteers. This could be done through community groups, sporting clubs or schools. You will be supplied a poster in a pdf format which you can print locally and place in popular venues where appropriate. You will be emailed a media release that you can use to contact your local press and radio. Please encourage them to visit your group on Sunday 2 May.
5. Report. Once the day is over, email a brief summary of how the day went, what interest it attracted and any improvements you might suggest.
A poster will be displayed in our common areas in the Redfern Waterloo areas from this week. We are keen to promote civic and community ownership within public housing areas through this initiative.
We are hoping that with your support and involvement, more sites across the Inner City Area can be nominated. There are many ways that you can support us and our residents, including but not limited to:
Please talk to Tuyen Duong, Project Officer, Strategic Projects Division, Housing NSW
(ph: 9268 3492 or mob: 0434 148 921) or email us on tuyen.duong@housing.nsw.gov.au to let us know of your idea and support for this initiative or other sites that should be nominated. Your support would be acknowledged as part of the promotion and any feedback and media about the event.

Frasers has lodged a modified concept with the Department of Planning for the former Broadway brewery site. The modified concept plan will soon be on exhibition, and with the technical documents, available to the public (Frasers will publish the documents relating to the modified concept plan on their website at the first opportunity). Frasers say they are keen to give high quality information to the community in order to inform any public submissions.
At 6:30pm there will be presentations to highlight the proposed modifications to the Concept Plan as well as the design excellence process. The international and Australian design team will be available to showcase their preliminary designs for the site.
Fraser’s realise that this community information session is being held during the school holidays which is not ideal but say they are unfortunately subject to the Department of Planning approval process.
Fraser’s intend to have an additional static display (in addition to the required display at the DoP) that will run during the exhibition process. Details of the location and timing will be made available as soon as the DoP provides its advice.

RSVP: mail@scapestrategy.com.auWe welcome your opinions regarding the proposal redevelopment

Information about the preliminary project applications and future infommation about the project can be found on the department of Planning website at - MP09_0039 - Mixed Use Development, Redfern RSL, Gibbons Street, Redfern
The proposed building is to contain:

· new club premises for Redfern RSL at the 1st floor level
· commercial office space at the 2nd and 3rd floor levels
· apartments at the upper floor levels of the building.
The proposal will involve significant improvements to the public domain in terms of enhancing pedestrian linkages along Redfern Street between the Redfern Railway Station and the Redfern Town Centre on the eastern side of Regent Street by:
· eliminating vehicular access and vehicle/pedestrian conflict in Redfern Street
· establishing an attractive, vibrant and active street frontage
· providing shade and shelter for people using the link
· casual surveillance of the public domain over extended hours by virtue of the use and operation of the proposed shops, offices, club and apartments.
The developer is particularly interested in feed back on the public domain surrounding the building.
