Presents a Community Forum on
the
Redfern
Waterloo Social
Impact Assessment
What is it? Why is it being
done? Who is doing it? Why care? What Can Go Wrong?
Including a Presentation by
the
Sydney Metropolitan
Development Authority (SMDA)
The Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority is a Government Authority
which will undertake a number of studies in Redfern and Waterloo under the
Growth Centre’s Act initially connected to BEP2. It absorbed the RWA. SMDA will
introduce the Authority and the Studies it is doing before focusing on the Redfern
Waterloo Social Impact Assessment (SIA) with GHD, the consultants doing the SIA
study. The SMDA has recently advised that the Social Impact Assessment will now
also include the Facilities Review which was not completed in 2011.
Consultations for the SIA start in February.
This will be followed by a
Presentation by
Dr Alison Ziller
A social planner & lecturer on Social Impact
Assessments at UWS and Macquarie Uni
REDWatch has asked Alison Ziller to attend as an independent expert to
explain what Social Impact Assessment is
about, how it works, what the problems are when using Social Impact Assessments
in long term, multi-stage projects like that being proposed for Redfern
Waterloo. This should enable members of the community to better understand,
participate and monitor the SMDA & Housing NSW processes.
