Parliament House
Macquarie Street
Sydney
Dear Minister
Sartor
It is with
pleasure that I forward you the inaugural Annual Report for the Redfern-Waterloo
Authority for the period January – June 2005.
This report has
been prepared in accordance with NSW Annual Report legislation and the
Redfern-Waterloo Act 2004 No 107.
Yours Sincerely
Robert
Domm
Chief Executive
Officer
Redfern-Waterloo
Authority
Statement
from the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer
We
have great pleasure in welcoming you to the first Annual Report for the Redfern-Waterloo
Authority 2004/05.
We
are extremely pleased with the progress we have made since commencing
operation, and while it may be early days, the staff at the new
Redfern-Waterloo Authority are working hard to revitalise the Redfern-Waterloo
area.
The
RWA opened its doors on January 17 this year and it has a big job to do. Its
tasks include generating jobs for the people of the area, improving delivery of
services to the community and promoting urban renewal that respects and strengthens
the rich heritage that makes this community unique in Sydney. Many activities are already well and
truly underway, particularly in the area of job creation schemes for local
unemployed, with a particular emphasis on the Indigenous community.
We
are also developing a Human Services Plan that will improve the delivery of
social services to the community. The Redfern-Waterloo Plan, of which human
services is a part, will also facilitate urban renewal and heritage restoration
opportunities at North Eveleigh and other surplus government lands, seek a
sustainable solution for the Block and its environs and implement a community
consultation strategy that will include regular newsletters to residents
providing news of latest events and activities, setting up an interactive
website, quarterly community forums and smaller community meetings on specific
issues.
The
Redfern-Waterloo Plan is being developed in stages, with priority being given
to economic revitalisation, human services and job creation. A draft of Stage
One of the Redfern-Waterloo Plan concerning the first three years of the RWA’s
operations, is expected to be released for further community consultation
before the end of the year and will centre on a number of sites declared to be
State Significant Developments.
The
Redfern-Waterloo Authority is also investigating essential developments for an
accessible, efficient railway station. A Station with steep steps and no easy
access for elderly or disabled people and parents with young children, it’s the
eighth busiest Station in the NSW network – a role which will increase in
activity as the population grows.
Redevelopment
will improve access to and the efficiency of RailCorp operations and include
commercial activity.
We
have also announced the finalisation of appointments to the three Ministerial
Advisory Committees set up to advise the Minister responsible for
Redfern-Waterloo on matters relating to built environment, employment and
enterprise and the delivery of social services in the area.
We
look forward to continuing to build the RWA to meet the challenges and
opportunities now faced by the Redfern-Waterloo area and its community.

State
Significant Development
Australian Technology Park
The
Redfern-Waterloo Authority Act also provides for the Minister for
Redfern-Waterloo and the RWA to be delegated as the consent authority for any
development within its area of operation declared to be State Significant
Development.
Australian
Technology Park (ATP) at the former railway workshops at Eveleigh falls under
this jurisdiction.
Ownership of ATP
was transferred from the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) to the RWA
in January, 2005 with planned development on the ATP site over the next two to
three years expected to create 2,000 new jobs – a 10 percent employment
increase for the Redfern-Waterloo area.
New ATP Building
The new
NICTA/DSTO building is the first in a new development phase for the ATP.
The ATP Master
Plan includes provision for six new sites and up to 14 low-rise buildings (two
to seven storeys) over the next decade. Designed by Cox Richardson
Architects, the NICTA/DSTO building will be located on the eastern edge of the
ATP with frontages to Garden
Street and Mitchell Way.
It will occupy a
site of around 3,000sqm and provide just over 11,000sqm of tenantable floor
space with 66 secure parking spaces.
The building
will also have a 4.5 Star rating under the Australian Building Greenhouse
Rating scheme (ABGR). Construction will be in accordance with the RWA’s Jobs
Compact, employing local indigenous people and new apprentices as a key
element. It will bring 600 jobs to Redfern.

Independent
Audit Report
To
Members of the New South Wales
Parliament
Audit Opinion
In
my opinion, the financial report of the Redfern-Waterloo Authority:
(a)
presents fairly the Authority’s and the consolidated entity’s financial
position as at 30 June 2005 financial performance and cash flows for the period
ended on that date, in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and other
mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and
(b)
complies with section 41B of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the Act).
My
opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.
The Board’s Role
The
financial report is the responsibility of the members of the Board. It consists
of the statements of financial position, the statements of financial
performance, the statements of cash flows and the accompanying notes for the
Authority and the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity comprises the
Authority and the entities controlled at the year’s end or during the financial
period.
Auditor’s Role and the Audit Scope
As
required by the Act, I carried out an independent audit to enable me to express
an opinion on the financial report.
My
audit provides reasonable assurance to Members of the New South Wales
Parliament that the financial report is free of material misstatement.
My
audit accorded with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards and statutory
requirements, and I:
•
evaluated the accounting policies and significant accounting estimates used by
the Board in preparing
the
financial report, and
•
examined a sample of the evidence that supports the amounts and other
disclosures in the financial report.
An
audit does not guarantee that every amount and disclosure in the financial
report is error free. The terms ‘reasonable assurance’ and ‘material’ recognise
that an audit does not examine all evidence and transactions. However, the
audit procedures used should identify errors or omissions significant enough to
adversely affect decisions made by users of the financial report or indicate
that Board members had not fulfilled their reporting obligations.
My
opinion does not provide assurance:
•
about the future viability of the Authority or its controlled entities,
•
that they have carried out their activities effectively, efficiently and
economically, or
•
about the effectiveness of their internal controls.
Audit Independence
The
Audit Office complies with all applicable independence requirements of
Australian professional ethical pronouncements.
The
Act further promotes independence by:
•
providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an
Auditor-General, and
•
mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies but
precluding the provision of non-audit services, thus ensuring the
Auditor-General and the Audit Office are not compromised in their role by the
possibility of losing clients or income.
