Further REDWatch believes that the failure of HNSW to honour earlier promises, will not only affect the relationship between the tenant body and Housing NSW but it will also impact on future engagement during the full Masterplan process. It will also make life difficult for those funded by HNSW to promote tenant engagement through the NAB models.

On this basis the results of the background research being undertaken by HNSW with Commonwealth funding will also never be made available for community scrutiny. Nor will residents be able to verify that HNSW has actually done what it has warranted to the Federal Government.
