HNSW’s just-released
“Community Engagement Action Plan for the Redfern and Waterloo Preliminary Masterplan”
says “each workshop will be a hands-on planning process, in which residents,
planners, stakeholders, landowners and others will collaborate on ideas for the
preliminary masterplan.”
In trying to get further information
for the SSH readers we were told arrangements are not finalised. HNSW is
relying on flyers posted to tenants just before events and is not leafleting the
broader community which will also be impacted. HNSW has no website for such information
and REDWatch is posting details on its website as soon as it finds out about
them.
In a recent statement HNSW
said: “The total budget for Redfern Waterloo preliminary master plan for the redevelopment
of Housing NSW major sites in Redfern Waterloo is $3.355 million including GST.
Approximately $750,000 of this was spent in 2010-11, and $2.605 million is
expected to be spent in 2011-12.” Is it too much to expect that some of that
money could be spent on getting the relevant information to both public and
private residents in a timely manner? S
