Housing NSW Masterplan takes Shape

Separate reports for Redfern and
Waterloo include an “Ideas for Improvement” summary and map which shows what Housing
NSW believe the community wants. The reports are available to view at the
Factory Community Centre or on the REDWatch website and will be available at
later workshops.

 Housing NSW’s February focus is on Building
design with a bus trip for people who want to learn more followed by a Workshop
on March 10 at Redfern oval.  In March
Housing NSW is also organising walks through Redfern and Waterloo to explore
ideas for the final Community Design Workshops with the urban planners in late
March.  To book contact Martin Clark on
92683443.

It is worrying that no exhibition of a
Draft Preliminary Masterplan and its background studies is planned before it is
finalised in June 2012 for reporting to the Federal funders. Housing NSW is
only saying that the Preliminary Masterplan will be presented to the community
in the second half of 2012. An exhibition of the Draft document is essential
before it is used as the basis for future decision making.
