Later this month the GSC will release their district plans.
Questions were raised at the last REDWatch meeting about the GSC and its powers
we hope to be able to answer some of these questions. We know that the District
plan will deal with the Central to Eveleigh corridor and from media reports it
will deal with targets for affordable housing – if the media is to believed the
targets are between 5-10% which is a vast improvement on what currently exists
but which is very low, especially on government land, compared to many overseas
cities with affordability problems.
We have invited the GSC, Council and the Better Planning
Network to the REDWatch meeting. We are still waiting for the GSC to advise who
will be attending. The City will be represented by Andrew Thomas the Executive
Manager for Strategic Planning & Urban Design and BPN will be represented
by Jeanette Brokman. The idea is to provide a range of perspectives on the GSC.
Our area falls into the Central GSC district and it goes
from the Eastern Suburbs to Strathfield (LGAs of Botany Bay, Burwood, Canada
Bay, Inner West, Randwick, Strathfield, Sydney (City of), Waverley, &
Woollahra). After the plans are released around 21 November the drop in session
for our region will be held at Redfern Town Hall on Saturday 26 November 10am –
1pm. Given it is in the neighbourhood we would encourage REDWatch members to
put it in their organiser and drop in and have their say.
