Re: Your
views invited on community advisory structure
As you
know, the NSW Government has set up a Redfern-Waterloo Authority (RWA) to
manage public infrastructure and achieve sustainable social and physical
improvements.
The RWA
will be established on January 17. I am now considering community advisory
committees to consult on particular issues affecting Redfern-Waterloo –
starting work from March 2005.
The current
thinking is for three advisory committees of about 15 members each, comprising
residents and State and local government, covering such areas as Human
Services, Employment and the Built Environment.
I am also
considering public forums for residents or representatives of community
organisations, as well as working groups on specific projects.
In
addition, the Redfern Waterloo Plan, which will probably be prepared in phases,
will be subject to public exhibition and input at each stage.
What I, and
the Authority, will be seeking is constructive input towards positive outcomes
for the area. On this basis, we will be consulting extensively.
If you have
suggestions for consultation and these committees, please write to me -GPO Box 5341, Sydney
NSW 2001 (att: Owen Torpy) or 9228 4700. To allow time to consider submissions,
please post by 31 January 2005.
I took
forward to hearing from you.
Yours
sincerely
Frank
