Plan Stage 2 (BEP 2) Update
Stakeholder Engagement Report
The
Redfern-Waterloo Authority (RWA) has released the Stakeholder Engagement Report
for the Built Environment Plan 2 (BEP 2). Undertaken by an independent
consultant, Mediate Today, the report outlines the community feedback on the
draft BEP 2, a planning framework for the renewal of social housing sites in
Redfern-Waterloo and South Eveleigh over a 20-25 year timeframe.
The report concludes that a large number of respondents (across all stakeholder groups) generally support the potential changes that BEP 2 outlines. Key findings from the feedback forms are: residents want a safe environment; development caters for the needs of specific groups; and open space encompasses areas for vegetation and recreational facilities.
The Stakeholder Engagement Report will be used in preparation for further studies of the Redfern-Waterloo area and will consider the issues raised in the BEP 2 submissions about providing more detail on the design and allocation of open space and the social impacts of the changes and how these will be supported in the future. The RWA recognises the need to have a far reaching consultative process during this process.
Community Facilities Report
The
Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority (SMDA) and Housing NSW have appointed
Cred Community Planning to prepare a report considering future community
facility needs in the Redfern-Waterloo area. To date, Cred Community Planning
has discussed community facility needs with a number of residents at three
of RWA's BEP 2 Community Information Sessions and at two community
barbeques. Workshops with non-government and government agencies have also been
held. Additional consultation regarding community facilities will continue.
Future community engagement
SMDA and Housing NSW recognise that
community engagement and capacity building are integral to future planning. As
part of its commitment, Housing NSW has initiated a Master Plan Expo to inform
the community regarding the Preliminary Master Plan for Redfern and Waterloo
