The <a href="http://www.redwatch.org.au/RWA/heritage/large2/181130tfnsw">media release and factsheet</a>, made specific reference to the Large Erecting Shop (LES) at Eveleigh as being "adapted for new uses". The Australian Technology Park sale to Mirvac contained a provision which allows Mirvac first right of refusal to the LES if not required by Transport for NSW. The Mirvac South Eveleigh information sessions are about what Mirvac wants to do with the LES. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">One of the last things the Redfern Waterloo Authority did, at our urging was to remove the 12 storey high-rise controls that they had placed over the LES. This pushed was helped at the time by 3801 Ltd commissioning an independent report that showed the building was sound and not about to fall down as the RWA claimed. The current controls are for the existing height and we note the 2018 TfNSW media release states: “the Government is committed to the preservation of important buildings including the Large Erecting Shop and Broadmeadow Roundhouse which will be adapted for new uses.” The most likely outcome is hence a Mirvac proposal similar to that being put in place for the Locomotive Workshops. You can find out more about the LES on the REDWatch website section on <a href="http://www.redwatch.org.au/RWA/heritage/large2">The Large Erecting Shop</a>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">While the attached flyer makes no reference to the LES In a recent email to locals Mirvac South Eveleigh said: </span><span style="color:#1f497d">“The Locomotive Workshop is now nearing completion and we would like to use this forum to outline Mirvac’s vision for future development within the precinct. This includes potential opportunity for the adaptive reuse and restoration of the Large Erecting Shed (LES), which is the subject of early discussions with its current owners Transport for NSW. Please note that this project is currently considered commercial in confidence. … this upcoming meeting will introduce the LES project, introduce you to the project team and provide an opportunity to ask any questions.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Finally, we have been advised by TfNSW that we should expect the planning proposal for the Paint Shop Precinct for Redfern North Eveleigh to go on exhibition in the next month or two.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Given the number of volunteers that have worked at the LES up until relatively recently we are emailing the heritage list to let people know about these information sessions.
