Event: Waterloo Neighbour Advisory Board Action Group Bi-annual Review - The Gathering Event 2
For the last two years, the Waterloo NAB has being piloting a new framework of engagement; this was achieved through the establishment of four thematic Action Groups. This has included groups that looked at Tenant Participation and Maintenance, Learning and Employment Training, Community Safety, and Health. The groups ran a number of initiatives; from community events (such as summer on the Green, and the Older Wiser Festival), overseeing the Waterloo Green Action plan and facilitating partnership based training courses for local young people.
These groups consisting of local residents and agencies from across sectors meeting regularly and who formed their own action plan to address community priorities set by local residents. In addition the Local Member and the Lord Mayor held two forums a year each where resident could raise issues directly with Heads of Government Agencies.
The time has come to review the progress of this new framework and celebrate the successes, and look at the lessons learnt and plan together for the framework which will take us through the next two years.
So we invite all Residents and Agencies to come along and hear the reports of the action groups and help us to set the vision for the coming two years.

EVENT: REDFERN WATERLOO COMMUNITY RENEWAL FORUM Estate Renewal and Social Mix: The good, the bad and the ugly
When: Thursday 26th August 2010 9.30am – 3.30pm (lunch provided)
Where: Redfern Town Hall 73 Pitt St, Redfern
Public housing estate renewal projects around the world aim to address disadvantage by creating more diverse communities. This is usually done by redeveloping estates to reduce the concentration of social housing and increase the numbers of private owners and renters. There is a lot of debate about whether this is the right approach to be taking, whether it works, and how to go about it.
This Forum will explore the issue from a number of angles:
• David Lilley will outline the research on social mix and identify the issues
• George Housakos will tell us about the Kensington Renewal Project in Melbourne and how public and private residents created a harmonious community, and
• A panel of experts, including Peter Phibbs (UWS) and Michael Darcy (UWS) will lead discussion on what’s important and how all this might relate to Redfern and Waterloo.
Please come along for a lively and informative event.
RSVP: By Monday 23 August 2010.
