How these items will be accessible and used to tell the story of the processes, people and social history of the site is as crucial as how the DA deals with the heritage building fabric. This information needs to be on table before a final assessment is made to avoid the possibility that the difficulties of dealing with the machinery collection would see them sidelined in the push for commercialisation of the space they may otherwise occupy. It is already likely that some material will be put into storage rather than displayed all the time at the site – this was a concern raised when the site was sold.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo7'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>4)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]><b>How does the proposal deal with the heritage space in Bays 1 & 2 which are available to tell the story of Eveleigh?</b> While the active area seems safe in the short term the balance of Bays 1 & 2 has been set aside for a loading bay to service the site and the supermarket and for two retail spaces. This leaves little space to tell the Eveleigh heritage story and to create a heritage drawcard. A heritage centre above the loading bay seems inadequate compensation for the accessible space taken by the loading bay. While the heritage story should be told across the site it is not an alternative to a dedicated heritage space in Bays 1 & 2.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo7'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>5)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]><b>How does the proposal deal with the social and labour heritage of the site?</b> For some time we have been arguing that there needs to be a centre at Eveleigh which can act as a repository for worker and social history for Eveleigh. There is an indication that this might be possible in this proposal but there is no real detail. Like an exhibition space its success will depend on ongoing resourcing to ensure that it is viable rather than just another heritage plan for Eveleigh that looks good on paper but never gets implemented.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><b>This DA will determine the future of Heritage at the Locomotive Workshop.</b> It will determine if the Heritage potential is tapped so people with a heritage interest will want to come to the site for its heritage interpretation or if the heritage becomes primarily the ‘public art’ sculpture backdrop for the new commercial and retail precinct. There is much more at stake here than in the redevelopment of a heritage building, here there is active heritage, the machinery and a heritage dedicated space that need to be also appropriately handled in the DA. The question for us all is – Has this DA done that or does the balance between commercialising space and the heritage deliverables need to be adjusted. REDWatch is arguing that the heritage aspects need to be strengthened. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>There are other DA issues that are likely to be of concern to local residents however here we have just concentrated on the wider heritage issues that might otherwise escape attention. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><b>At 5pm on Thursday December 7<sup>th</sup> at Club Redfern (opposite Redfern Railway Station) we have called a meeting about the Mirvac ATP DA for the Locomotive Workshop.</b> This DA closes the following week. Along with Roger Jowett from the retired RTBU members, we are inviting people with a particular interest in this heritage site to discuss the key issues. If you are considering a submission or have particular concerns then this meeting could be useful in helping people crystallise the issues. This meeting precedes REDWatch’s end of year get together so you are welcome to stick around and mix with some of the locals after the meeting if you wish.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Script MT Bold";color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Geoff</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Geoffrey Turnbull<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>REDWatch Co-Spokesperson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Ph Wk: (02) 8004 1490 Mob: 0418 457 392</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>email: <a href="mailto:mail@redwatch.org.au"><span style='color:blue'>mail@redwatch.org.au</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>web: <a href="http://www.redwatch.org.au/" title="blocked::http://www.redwatch.org.au/"><span style='color:blue'>www.redwatch.org.au</span></a> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
