The Australian prison population has increased by nearly 50 per cent over the past ten years (ABS 2003). More alarming is the reported 110 per cent increase in the female prisoner population, the 8 per cent increase in the unsentenced prison population, and the 5 per cent increase in the Indigenous prisoner population over the same period.

“The advice to me is we have still got 500 cells empty. I don’t mind if we fill them up, and if we fill them up and have to build another jail, we’ll build another jail” (Premier Nathan Rees).

“As a Labor party activist in the inner city, and a branch secretary for more than 20 years, if this State Government goes any further down the track of privatisation of prisons, I could not in good conscience vote Labor in 2012 – and it hurts me to say that” (Trevor Davies, Co-Convenor, Social Justice Task Group, Sydney Presbytery of the Uniting Church). 

“It’s all too easy to treat people in poverty or with mental health and addiction problems as criminals, but what does it achieve? It’s time to admit the high cost, in human and financial terms, of the failed policies of successive State governments, and to rethink our approach to criminal corrections” (Rev. Andrew Collis, Managing Editor, The South Sydney Herald).

Presented by the South Sydney Herald  & the Social Justice Task Group of the Sydney Presbytery of the Uniting Church in Australia.

This community meeting will be an opportunity for the Vice Chancellor to inform the community of the University's proposals in its recently produced "Green Paper" about its future. Included in the paper is the statement that “We believe that a coordinated strategy for engagement with the local community should be devised and implemented as a matter of priority.” You can download the paper from: www.usyd.edu.au/about/strategy/green_paper/index.shtml

REDWatch has arranged this meeting with Sydney University to begin discussions with Darlington, Redfern and Waterloo residents about how the community and the University can work together for mutual benefit.

While it is expected there will be some discussion about the University's interest in the North Eveleigh site, their proposal to develop the Abercrombie St - Codrington St - Darlington St block and eventually redevelop much of the existing Darlington campus these will not be the main focus of this meeting.

A further meeting, organised by Sydney University, will be held at Track B - Carriage Works on Wednesday, 28 April 2010 from 6.30-8.00pm to start a discussion with the community about North Eveleigh, including the University’s interest in renewing the site.  This meeting will provide opportunities for the community and interested politicians to have their say about North Eveleigh.

A planning system focussed on the public interest. A planning system that places people and their choices at the heart of planning decisions about their future. On 14 July 2012, the NSW Government released A New Planning System for New South Wales – Green Paper, a bold step in the development of a new planning system for the State. The Green Paper outlines major changes in five key areas of the planning system, these are: * involving the community early in guiding planning decisions that will shape the growth and future of our cities, towns, and neighbourhoods; * placing much more emphasis on preparing good policies upfront to guide growth and development; * reducing red tape and delay for the assessment of development applications for all types of proposals; * ensuring that infrastructure is planned and delivered to support new and existing communities; * promoting a ‘can do’ culture in the planning system and ensuring that councils and the government are accountable for delivering the results they have committed to; and * providing greater access to information about planning policies, planning decisions, and your rights in the planning process.
