One of those requirements was that a <b>Stage 2 Heritage Interpretation Plan (HIP) </b>was required prior to a Construction Certificate being issued. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><b>Mirvac is now fast tracking the Stage 2 HIP and we need people with a heritage interest in Eveleigh to input into the process ASAP and to make sure we get the best possible Heritage Interpretation plan rather than the fastest! Given the importance of the site to the Labour Movement it is particularly concerning that the consultation happens around the election weekend when many people will be committed elsewhere.</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">Below are the details we have received from Mirvac:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>Mirvac has recently received planning approval for the adaptive reuse of the Locomotive Workshop at South Eveleigh for mixed use purposes. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>An important part of this approval is the preparation of the Stage 2 Heritage Interpretation Plan which will address interpretation for the whole of the Locomotive Workshop, including commercial and retail. This follows the Stage 1 Heritage Interpretation Strategy which guides heritage interpretation across the whole of South Eveleigh and was approved in February 2017 following consultation. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>Mirvac is now preparing the Stage 2 Heritage Interpretation Plan for the Locomotive Workshop. This Plan will guide the way that the unique heritage and stories associated with the Locomotive Workshop will be celebrated and interpreted using key concepts and design elements.</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>We invite you to have your say and learn more about the Stage 2 Heritage Interpretation Plan for the Locomotive Workshop during one of three interactive Community Workshops. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>See below for workshops options:</i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Community Workshop 1 Date: Thursday, 21 March 2019 Time: 5:30-8:30pm</i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Community Workshop 2 Date: Saturday, 23 March 2019 Time: 10:00am-1:00pm</i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Community Workshop 3 Date: Monday, 25 March 2019 Time: 5:30 – 8:30pm</i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>Location for all workshops</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>Mirvac Site Office (new location), Level 1, 2 Davy Road, South Eveleigh. Food will be provided. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>We hope you will be able to join us for one of these workshops. Registration is essential as numbers are limited. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>Please RSVP at <a href="https://mirvac_southeveleigh.eventbrite.com.au">https://mirvac_southeveleigh.eventbrite.com.au</a> </i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><i>We would also appreciate if you could share details on the community workshops with your networks and have attached the postcard which is being distributed to local residents.

The media release, along with the factsheet, made specific reference to the Large Erecting Shop (LES) at Eveleigh as being "adapted for new uses". We have been told that the ATP sale to Mirvac contained a provision which allows Mirvac rights to the LES if it is not required by Transport for NSW. REDWatch missed the sale document when it was made public for a month after the sale and subsequent requests to UrbanGrowth for a copy have not been successful. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">The media statement also makes reference to the Paint Shop at Eveleigh but it is not referenced as being "adapted for new uses". The text of the statement and the fact sheet can be found on the REDWatch website at - <a href="http://www.redwatch.org.au/RWA/heritage/large2/181130tfnsw">A new centre for heritage transport at Chullora - Eveleigh Implications</a><b> </b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">In 2006 the LES was zoned by the Redfern Waterloo Authority (RWA) for a 12 storey building. REDWatch fought that decision and one of the last acts of the RWA was to remove that zoning and to return it to existing height with uses compatible for operation as a heritage railway centre. When 3801 Ltd, who had the licence to operate out of the LES, were asked to vacate the space it was still supposed to be used for heritage rail uses. Large Erecting Shop (1898-1906) is a part of the State Heritage Listing Eveleigh Railway Workshops. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">The announcement of funding for a heritage transport centre at Chullora looks like it spells the end of an operational LES.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Regards,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Script MT Bold";color:navy">Geoff</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Geoffrey Turnbull</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">REDWatch Co-Spokesperson</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Ph Wk: (02) 8004 1490 Mob: 0418 457 392</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">email: <a href="mailto:spokesperson@redwatch.org.au"><span style="color:blue">spokesperson@redwatch.org.au</span></a> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">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></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">FB: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RedfernEveleighDarlingtonWaterlooWatch/"><span style="color:blue">www.facebook.com/RedfernEveleighDarlingtonWaterlooWatch/</span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
