Flyers and adds in local newspapers are expected on this in the next week or two. You may recall in my last email after the May UG C2E session I sent around details of the North Eveleigh presentation given by UG that foreshadowed North Eveleigh as the first precinct to be looked at.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>At this stage there looks like there will only be one meeting for community people to hear the presentation and have their say before plans for the western end of North Eveleigh are lodged with the Department of Planning (the finalised plans will formally be exhibited next year) – so it is pretty important if you have an interest in this site that you attend the workshop and let your neighbours also know. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Below are the details that I am currently aware of. I have included also broader information on UrbanGrowth from a Council Report released last week and being reported to Council this coming week. Both these items are taken from a REDWatch update currently being prepared.<o:p></o:p></p><h1 align=left style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:left'>UrbanGrowth Plans for North Eveleigh – Workshop 12<sup>th</sup> November<o:p></o:p></h1><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><b>UrbanGrowth Central to Eveleigh will be consulting in October and November </b>over how the vision and design principles they have developed for the Central to Eveleigh Urban Transformation and Transport Program have been translated into <b>plans for the Newtown end of North Eveleigh</b>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>With the relocation of underground electrical cabling and pre-existing consultation on an earlier plan and park, UrbanGrowth see this site is able to commence redevelopment reasonably quickly and also act as a case study to demonstrate how the design principles they have been working on for the C2E corridor over the last year will work in a specific precinct. This will be reflected through a combination of new buildings, parks, community facilities, public art and heritage interpretation to create the first new neighbourhood delivered under the program. UrbanGrowth will also provide an update on the proposed approach to the designs and arrangement of new buildings.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><b>Consultation will focus on:<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:25.5pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-25.5pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>potential long term community and retail uses for the Clothing Store building<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:25.5pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-25.5pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>the use, design and features of a new public park to be located next to the Clothing Store and a pocket park in Wilson Street<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:25.5pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-25.5pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>possible approaches to heritage interpretation and public art<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpLast style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:25.5pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-25.5pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>the design and arrangement of new buildings.</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Feedback received from the consultations will help UrbanGrowth finalise a <b>proposal which will be lodged with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment early next year</b>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>We understand that there will be a number of variations from the earlier approved concept plan.

You can download this document from Councils Sydney your say site section on <a href="http://sydneyyoursay.com.au/central-to-eveleigh">Central to Eveleigh</a>, which also contains the council MOU and other documents. Among other recommendations Council is pushing UG C2E to adopt housing policy with diversity targets -including an average target of 21 to 24 per cent for affordable rental housing across all UrbanGrowth NSW’s inner city projects. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Council have also detailed some issues they are taking up with the Government regarding the ATP sale. Offers to buy the ATP are currently with government and a decision is expected in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully when this is announced we will get a clearer idea of how a privately owned ATP will fit with the Premier’s announced a Silicon Valley type centre for the White Bay precinct.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>The Council report also mentions the UG report on the May consultation <a href="http://engage.centraltoeveleigh.com.au/city_thinking_home/documents/25522/download" target="_blank">Report: Community Workshop.

While I will still be actively involved and will remain the contact point for REDWatch initially, in the future you will hopefully hear more from REDWatch’s new Spokesperson Alice Anderson. Alice along with Emma Bacon (one of our Co-convenors) and Jenni Sams (our Secretary) all come from Darlington or North Eveleigh so I am sure they will be taking an active interest in what happens on North Eveleigh.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><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-ord Group Member<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>
