Draft Built
Environment Plan Phase 2 (BEP2) on Public Housing Estates
This section of the website deals with the BEP2 Exhibition
and REDWatch’s analysis of the plan. It also covers submissions from
individuals and organisations and news reports. The Community has never seen
the document prepared from this consultation nor that which was prepared by the
government Architect about the subsequent proposals.
SMDA BEP2 & Urban Renewal Studies
The Sydney Metropolitian Development Authority undertook a range of studies and analysis to support the appropriate future controls for the draft BEP 2 sites. This formed part of a urban renewal study for the Redfern-Waterloo Precinct with priority for the draft BEP 2 sites. When complete, these studies and draft planning controls were to have been exhibited. None of the studies detailed here or the community input have been released to date.
HNSW
Preliminary Master Plan
Undertaken with Federal funding and running in parallel with
BEP2 Housing NSW put together a Draft Master Plan arguing it could not be
finalised until the planning controls were decided. Despite extensive community
engagement and promises that everything would be released these plans also have
not been made public.
Public
Housing
During the extensive discussion around BEP2 and the HNSW
Master Plan there was considerable research undertaken by the community into
research on “social mix” and other issues related to public housing
redevelopment. You will find much of this material in this section of REDWatch
website.
