<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The May 7 REDWatch meeting will do an initial unpack of the Waterloo South Concept Plan for tenants and the community. As It looks like the exhibition
will only be for 28 days and REDWatch will only have one scheduled meeting in the exhibition period, we are looking at this meeting potentially being a two-hour meeting dealing with both the built environment proposal as well as with the Social Impact Assessment
(SIA). The SIA looks at the people impacts from the redevelopment as part of the exhibition and this information was not available during the pre-exhibition consultations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">As this email goes out, the formal exhibition of the Waterloo South Concept plan is imminent. Stockland has agreed to attend the REDWatch meeting
to speak to the Concept Plan after the exhibition starts. In line with informing tenants first, Information about the exhibition has already been disseminated to all Waterloo tenants and is on the Homes NSW Waterloo renewal project site. This confirms the
exhibition will be underway by the REDWatch meeting. So come and find out more about the proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Stockland have undertaken pre-lodgement consultation with tenants showing what it was considering so there should be few major surprises in the
key elements of the exhibited plan for those that were involved in the earlier consultation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The exhibition will show how the heights and floorspace distribution changes proposed differ from the approved 2022 controls. It will also include
as other information such as the distribution of different types of housing, staging etc. The plan will have lots of technical studies that provide detailed information that people will not have not yet seen – for example on shadowing. The plan will also have
a reference scheme that shows that it is possible to fit the amount of floor space and unit breakdown into the proposed planning controls. This reference scheme is still not what will be built. Consultations on the design of buildings in Stage 1 are expected
to start after the Concept exhibition ends.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The April issue of the South Sydney Herald carried the story
<a href="https://southsydneyherald.com.au/tenants-in-proposed-waterloo-park-get-relocation-notices/" title="Tenants in proposed Waterloo Park get relocation notices">
<span style="color:#0563C1">Tenants in proposed Waterloo Park get relocation notices</span></a> by REDWatch Spokesperson Geoff Turnbull. This article was based on questions raised by Evelyn Morris, an 86-year-old Waterloo resident and active tenant representative
for many years, who has lived in Cooper Street for 27 years and received her 6 months’ notice of relocation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Evelyn wanted to know why she is being relocated from the area that will become a future park when construction has not yet started in stage one
to deliver the promised new social housing units for existing tenants like her to move into.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Following on from this article it might be helpful to provide a bit more clarification on the complex issues that make getting an answer to Evelyn’s
question difficult in the short term. At the start it is probably useful to point out that Homes NSW is using the term “Phase” for relocations to distinguish relocations from the redevelopment “Stage”, as these may differ.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Firstly, there is currently no estimate public as to when the first Social Housing will be delivered by the redevelopment. As we saw in the case
of the Redfern PCYC site, it can take a while to get through the planning stage, so until that is finished it is difficult for the developer to set a start point and time-frame. Stockland is trying to speed the process up, but it is dependent on what comes
out of the exhibitions and the Department of Planning. The only estimate that was made public was when the consortium was announced. Managing Director and CEO of Stockland, Tarun Gupta said then he expected construction to start in 2027 and to start delivering
new homes in 2031.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The timeframe for the park in the agreement between Homes NSW and Council is about 4 years. Two years’ notice to Council is required before the
development application so Council can prepare concept plans to be lodged by the developer. The park development then needs to follow within two years. The park has to be delivered before half the floorspace in the development is ready for occupation. Stockland
argues that any other part of the site in addition to the blocks it is starting on will take it over 50% of the site so the park needs to be delivered earlier rather than later – hence the relocations on part of the park site. There is a time difference here
between when development is started (Stockland’s argument) and when a building has to be ready for occupation (in the Voluntary Planning Agreement) which remains unexplained.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The second part of this puzzle is how long it might take to relocate the people who live in the area of the new park. Homes NSW has been saying
little publicly about relocations and how it is going – falling back on the argument that this is between an individual tenant and the Homes NSW relocation team. You can see information on relocations on the
<a href="https://www.nsw.gov.au/about-nsw/housing-and-infrastructure-projects/social-building-projects/waterloo-renewal-project">
<span style="color:#0563C1">Homes NSW Waterloo South</span></a> site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The Homes NSW statement to the SSH said “Relocation of Phase 2 tenants has commenced to ensure Homes NSW has sufficient time to support tenants
through this period of change and to identify suitable housing that meets each tenant’s individual needs. As many residents as possible will be relocated into newly developed homes, including new housing within Waterloo, as well as surrounding areas such as
Redfern and Glebe”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The notices tenants receive give them 6 months’ notice before tenants have to consider relocations. The first step in the process is for a housing
needs assessment where Homes NSW determines with the tenant what housing the tenant needs and where the tenant wants to go. The next step is to match that tenant’s housing needs with homes that become available.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Homes NSW faces a number of problems, unlike in the Phase 1 relocations it has no new building on the Waterloo Metro site to move people into.
This means that tenants who want to stay in the area will have to move into existing housing as units become vacant or into one of the new developments in surrounding suburbs. This is not helped by delays in the delivery of housing on the Redfern PCYC site.
This will be a much slower process than for Phase 1. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">In addition, the Waterloo walk-up area is where many people are housed who do not want to be in high-rise. So, it will not be possible to move
some of those people into high-rise and Homes NSW will have to find low-rise locations for them. For others, once a suitable home is found, Homes NSW will need to have home modifications made for the home to meet the person’s needs and that also blows out
the time needed to move. Based on an earlier Waterloo Human Services Collaborative survey a large number will want to move out of the area and the speed of their move will depend on housing becoming available in the desired location to which they want to move,
as some areas have little housing availability and long wait times. A relocating tenant can also request a second offer if they are not happy with the first offer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">So the Homes NSW argument is that it might take a long time to move people out of the 99 units on the part of the park next to the Metro Station
and then a long time to move the occupants of the 109 units on the east side of the park. There is little transparency about relocations at the moment, so it ends up with general statements like that supplied to the SSH, rather than more transparent explanations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The more detailed answer to Evelyn’s question is that Stockland do not yet know when it will have new stock built for those who want to move into
it and in the absence of enough suitable places to relocate people, Homes NSW expects it to take a long time to move people so it has started early.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">At least now there is a Homes NSW
<a href="https://www.nsw.gov.au/departments-and-agencies/homes-nsw/housing-reforms-and-initiatives/meanwhile-use-policy">
<span style="color:#0563C1">Meanwhile Use Policy</span></a>, that would see vacated homes, like one block in Stage 1, used for supported accommodation if people are moved out quicker than expected. Those who want to know when they can move directly into the
newly built housing, they thought they were promised, will need to wait a bit longer for Stockland to provide estimates on when it expects homes to be available and for Bridge Housing’s delayed Redfern former PCYC site to be built.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Council has received a lot of submissions to work through from this exhibition and residents in Alexandria and Erskineville are also asking questions
about how the proposed change might compound issues with other road changes being considered in their areas.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">Stockland advised the Waterloo Redevelopment Group that it asked its consultants to do a technical traffic analysis of the proposed change. It
found that the most significant impact of the proposal would be on the intersection of Wellington Street and Botany Road. Even without the renewal (under current conditions), if the Raglan Street closure went ahead this intersection would experience impacts
in relation to delay times and queuing. Stockland will continue engaging with the City of Sydney Council to understand whether Council intends to progress with this proposal in its current form, or whether based on community feedback it is going to re-think
the Raglan Street component.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

planning. This discussion paper is a useful place to understand the different sorts of housing that Sydney needs and how it might be delivered. Feedback on the Housing for All discussion paper will feed into an update of the Council’s planning strategies followed
by more detailed urban design studies and planning before any rezoning. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

over planning control. Under the Housing Delivery Authority, projects can be declared State Significant Development, bypassing local planning controls and overriding carefully master-planned areas. This has already happened across our area, from Darlinghurst
to Pyrmont and Waterloo. We want to keep planning decisions where they belong: with the City of Sydney and our communities”.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">The discussion paper asks three questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">1. Where and how can we plan for more homes?
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">In this section Council lists 10 ideas as to where more housing could be delivered and provides details of what it
thinks is possible. Included in this are:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Ultimo and Pyrmont with Wentworth Park returned; Connecting Green Square and Waterloo; Prince Alfred Park edges; Renewing
the Supa Centa site near Moore Park; Renewing Broadway: UTS to Glebe Point Road; Renewing underused sites along Parramatta Road; More life (and living) on our high streets; Mid-rise living in Beaconsfield; Gentle density on laneways and; Park-side living for
more people to enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">2. What should the NSW Government do to support more homes?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">As the NSW Government has significant land holdings in the Council area that are outside Council control, Council is
also looking to push the state government to deliver housing on more of its sites. The discussion paper lists 15 government sites where homes can be built now – these cover sites with planning approval like Waterloo South, Explorer Street, Redfern PCYC site,
North Eveleigh and above the Eastern Suburbs lines at Redfern Station. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Council also lists 17 other government sites “where planning is needed for more homes”. Council is looking at sites
that previously have been looked at for housing by the NSW Government. In the REDWatch area this includes currently active rail use properties within the Eveleigh railway corridor that UrbanGrowth proposed should be used for housing. Waterloo North and Central
are on this list as a result of earlier master planning that has not yet proceed to rezoning.
<a name="_Hlk228358792">Erskine Estate and Bowling Club</a> are also on the list from being considered back in 2002. Council has also looked at how light rail delivered by the state government would transform Parramatta Road and how a light rail and / or metro
station at Zetland could allow greater density in Rosebery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">3. How can housing better meet the diverse needs of our community?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">The final part of the report argues “a socially and economically healthy city needs homes to rent and buy, at different
price points and in a variety of types and tenures”. It has a useful housing continuum graphic setting out different types of market and non-market housing and Council’s role in delivering these. It then goes on to focus on Affordable Rental housing, social
housing, Aboriginal housing, low-cost market housing, housing for renters, apartment living, housing for people needing support and alternative housing models.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Questions have been raised about the inclusion of the Erskine Estate and Bowling Club in the sites where planning is
needed for more homes by the City of Sydney. No recent plans have been publicly announced for this site so people are asking why Council has drawn attention to it now. There was a battle over the Erko estate in 2002 where the community saw off an attempt by
the Carr Labor Government and local MP Andrew Refshauge to develop the site. This fight was documented in the Russ Hermann documentary
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gLYl7qAphc"><span style="color:#0563C1;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Saving Erko Estate</span></a></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">.
With Erskineville on the list we suspect there will be a big push back from the local community about this part of the proposal including losing the Bowling Club.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Council’s argument is that it is highlighting sites that the NSW Government has earlier explored however on that basis
Redfern public housing should have also been included but was not. The Redfern public housing estate was flagged alongside Waterloo for redevelopment in the 2004 cabinet leak. Land and Housing Corporation and the Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority attempted
to master plan both Redfern with Waterloo in 2011 but different parts of government could not agree on how to proceed.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">One consequence from 2011 was that both public housing sites and sites on the railway corridor remained in the old
South Sydney Local Environment Plan (LEP). Some sites that have since been rezoned or developed are in the process of being transferred to the Sydney LEP but others like Marian Park and the Redfern public housing estate remain in the South Sydney LEP until
they are rezoned. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">REDWatch is not suggesting that either site should be looked at for early renewal. The chances of that increase however
if NSW Government requirements make it difficult for Homes NSW to develop new sites for social and affordable housing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">The

for All Discussion Paper</span></a></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"> notes that Council has, across 9 sites, sold or long-term leased its land or property to not-for-profit organisations, at
a discount of more than $31 million, to support the delivery of hundreds of affordable and diverse dwellings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">In contrast the Sydney Morning Herald on 28 April 2026 ran an article on
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none"><a href="https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/the-policy-getting-in-the-way-of-improving-sydney-s-housing-supply-20260427-p5zrb6.html"><span style="color:#0563C1;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">The
policy getting in the way of improving Sydney’s housing supply</span></a></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">. That policy is the “highest and best use” requirements under NSW Treasury rules.
The rules require that the selling part of government must get best price for its sale of land. If the buying part of government cannot agree a price with the selling part of government, then surplus land goes to market to produce market rather than add to
non-market housing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">This results in Homes NSW and Landcom needing to pay top dollar to obtain land which is surplus to government requirements.
The SMH article states: “<i>It is part of the reason neither Landcom nor Homes NSW have purchased more sites through the audit of surplus public land, despite having first and second call on identified land. Between them, they have acquired seven of about
60 sites”</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">If we are to see more supported housing, crisis and traditional housing, or social and affordable housing delivered
on surplus government land, then money cannot be the only way of defining “higher and best use”. If that cannot be changed then the government needs to find ways to give Homes NSW and Landcom more money to pay other parts of government for the land on which
government wants non-market housing delivered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">One consequence of this absurdity is that Homes NSW will be incentivised to redevelop land it already has, like it
did under the earlier Communities Plus policy. The problem with such redevelopments is that existing tenants need to be moved to allow the redevelopment, with the consequence that relocations have to be made into existing housing stock, which stops people
on the housing waiting list from gaining housing for several years until the redevelopment provides any increase in the total housing stock.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Development of new sites does not create the same problems and if provided in conjunction with an estate redevelopment
can provide extra housing without stopping new allocations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

first of the big developments in our area to only be on exhibition for 14 days. REDWatch did not do an extra email update just for this site as we do not want to bombard people with lots of emails.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">This was an important DA because the developer used state mechanisms to over-ride the Sydney Council’s planning controls. Those planning controls
were set after wide community consultation about where height and floor space are best placed. By going to the state government for a spot rezoning to over-ride Council the developer got significant increases in height and floor space over other surrounding
properties and this will likely lead to other developers wanting similar controls for their sites nearby.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">In the context of our earlier strategic planning item about Council consulting on where the community wants growth and then putting in place planning
controls to make that happen, the Bourke Street concurrent DA and rezoning ignored that earlier process and used the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) to argue for much greater height and density on its site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">State government has been over-riding Council strategic planning desires on mainly government sites for a long time, but the current HDA approach
is doing that across private sites that have been the subject of Council’s community based strategic plans about what growth should be placed where.
