LAHC post zoning planning.

This Guide to social impact assessment is for communities concerned about the social consequences of a proposed project or development. The redevelopment of Waterloo South will need a social impact assessment. This guide explains when a social impact assessment (the process) is required, what a SIA (the document) is expected to include, and when and how decision making takes place. The Guide sets out what communities should look out for, when they may provide a response, for example in a submission raising concerns about a proposed development or project, and the timelines affecting these steps.

In October 2023 LAHC held a People and Place workshop. This is the outcomes report from that workshop - it covered relocations and human services for which People and Place Reports have not yet been released and hence points to some of LAHC's approach to these parts of its People and Place approach. It is important to note that this report reflects what people said off the top of their heads in the workshop. It was not possible to comment on all material in the short time allowed and LAHC declined to allow attendees to make considered contributions after the workshop. Unlike the Waterloo Human Services Collaborative where there is discussions about different actions and a consensus reached the comments made at the session recorded have not been tested. This outcomes report was released to the Waterloo Human Services Collaborative and Groundswell and will appear on the Waterloo Redevelopment website with the other studies.

This is a draft proposal from OFFICE that was shown to people on 5th April at the BBQ held by OFFICE of how the Waterloo high-rises could be refurbished and in-fill buildings included around them to meet the Waterloo redevelopment goals stated for Central and Northern areas of Waterloo Estate. You can provide feedback on this proposal to hello@OFFICE.org.au - The RRR project is independent from Homes NSW and separate to the redevelopment plans for Waterloo South. Homes NSW say that it will be many years before they develop this area and 10 years before people have to relocate.
