The round table discussion will
be assisted with some input about Place Management in different places and
forms from:
- Lesley Unsworth, the Fairfield Council’s Place Manager for Bonnyrigg
- John Maynard from Sydney Council
- Dom Grenot will talk about his experience at Northcott in Surry
Hills and - Glen Atkins will talk about The Mercy Arms experience co-ordinating
services in a place.
There has been a lot of interest in this session as it would
appear that there are discussions going on within council and government
bodies. There is strong interest in a follow up session from some who are unable to attend this discussion so REDWatch is treating this discussion as a preliminary discussion.
There have already been place based initiatives in Redfern and Waterloo
which have not met expectations and thought is going into new initiatives. What
is Place Management? Has it worked elsewhere? Do Place managers get real power
to fix problems? Can it help deal with the complex issues of Redfern and
Waterloo? Can it help address antisocial behaviour? These are some of the
questions we hope to discuss.
You can download an introductory sheet,
recommended by David Lilley from HNSW/DFS on Place Management from The
Smith Family for some pre-discussion reading.
