There have already been place based initiatives in Redfern and Waterloo which have not met expectations and thought is going into new initiatives. <b>What is Place Management? Has it worked elsewhere? Do Place managers get real power to fix problems? Can it help deal with the complex issues of Redfern and Waterloo? Can it help address antisocial behaviour?</b> These are some of the questions we hope to discuss. You can download an introductory sheet, recommended by David Lilley from HNSW/DFS on Place Management from <a href="http://www.thesmithfamily.com.au/webdata/resources/files/Briefing_Paper_2.pdf">The Smith Family</a> for some pre discussion reading.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The round table discussion will be assisted with some <b>input about Place Management in different places and forms</b>. <b>Lesley Unsworth</b>, the Fairfield Council’s Place Manager for Bonnyrigg will join us as will <b>John Maynard</b> from Sydney Council and hopefully some of those with an interest in Place Management from HNSW/DFS Major Projects. <b>Dom Grenot</b> will talk about his experience at Northcott in Surry Hills and <b>Glen Atkins</b> will talk about The Mercy Arms experience. We have asked some other people but the proximity of Council Elections mean some are unable to attend.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In Friday’s <b>sydney magazine</b> there was a great article by Stephanie Wood on gentrification in Redfern Waterloo and it gives many cameo stories of people and places in the area.

You can see the transcript of the debate under <a href="http://www.redwatch.org.au/RWA/statesignificant/station/lift_redfern/120823lr">Lift Redfern Petition Debate Transcript</a>. The Lift Redfern Organisers will need to meet to discuss the next stage of the campaign. We can now explore the use of an electronic petition. One option following from the debate is for a petition calling for a lift immediately on platform 11&12 and for a timetable from the government for the full station upgrade. It seems from the Minister’s response that Transport for NSW will not meet the Federal requirement of having 55% of the network accessible by the end of 20123 so that may also open up some options. We expect there will be follow up stories this week in the South Sydney Herald and Central.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Eveleigh Heritage might get greater protection</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> after Council on 20<sup>th</sup> August past a motion asking council to explore the role it can play on the site especially in relation to getting the lapsed Heritage Taskforce going again.
