The RWA Built Environment Plan has now been made public.

According to the BEP plan, the open space located at Gibbons Street, commonly referred to as “Marian Street Park”, has been changed to Public Recreation.

The Park will be dedicated to the Council subject to:
* Council committing adequate funds to upgrade the Park
* Railcorp (current land owners) willing to hand it over

Therefore, at this stage it is not yet clear whether the Park will be preserved!

The Plan can be downloaded from this page on the RWA website.

Following the release of the RWA Built Environment Draft Plan in February this year, 100s of Redfern and Waterloo resident wrote to the RWA expressing their views and concerns.

The RWA said a revised Plan has been in the making and that it considered many issues raised by the community.

At varying dates over the past two months, various individuals in the local community have been told by the RWA that the new Plan will

be made public within a couple of weeks.

Maybe not this evening “but surely tomorrow”.
