future, opportunities for local business and retail,
and enrich existing communities through social and
cultural spaces.
In 2008, a Concept Plan was approved for the Precinct following a
design competition. The Concept Plan forms a set of planning controls
over the Precinct. Due to significant changes in surrounding areas and
the need to meet growth requirements, the renewal approach for the
Precinct is being revised.
The Redfern North Eveleigh Strategic Vision has been prepared by
Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and is the first part of the new strategic
planning process for the Precinct’s renewal. The Vision has been
developed to:
• set the vision, key strategic planning and urban design
considerations for the Precinct
• understand and reflect the unique character of the Precinct
• identify priorities and principles to guide the renewal;
• provide flexibility in the development approach to accommodate
changing needs and technology and to account for the renewal
evolving over time.
Further work will be undertaken in subsequent planning stages to
determine the amount of required floor space and the Precinct layout
that may result in amendments to planning controls.

Re d f er n N or t h E v e l e i g h P re ci n ct
The Redfern North Eveleigh Precinct will be a connected centre for living, creativity and
employment opportunities that support the jobs of the future. An inclusive, active and
sustainable place for everyone, where communities gather.
Next to one of the busiest train stations in NSW, the Precinct will comprise a dynamic
mix of uses including housing, creative and office spaces, retail, local business, social
enterprise and open space. Renewal will draw on the past, adaptively re-using heritage
buildings in the Precinct and will acknowledge Redfern’s existing character and
particular significance to Aboriginal peoples, culture and communities across Australia.
The Precinct will evolve as a local place contributing to a global context.

Precin ct r e n e w al p r incip le s
To guide the vision of the Precinct, the following
principles have been developed and are grouped
into six key themes. These principles will inform
future planning and assessment for renewal
activities within the Precinct and are further
detailed in the Appendix. TfNSW is committed
to contributing to economic prosperity and
social inclusion in an environmentally responsible
and sustainable manner. The three pillars of
sustainability: environmental, economic, and social,
form an overarching requirement to enable the
delivery of a sustainable precinct.

The NSW Government recognises that more people than ever are
walking or cycling to work for leisure and fitness, and continues
to encourage these modes as part of their everyday commute. By
continuing to invest in the construction of new paths and infrastructure,
we help keep people safe while encouraging more individuals to take up
these modes of travel, thereby supporting movement across the area.

Prev i o u s w o r k
2008 Concept Plan
The former Redfern-Waterloo Authority prepared a Concept Plan for
the Precinct that was approved on 15 December 2008 by the then
Minister for Planning. Since the Concept Plan was acted on with the
development of the Platform Apartments, it is still valid and has the
potential to be acted on in the future through approval of development
applications. The Concept Plan therefore acts as a set of current
planning controls across the Precinct. Due to the changed context as
previously described, this plan is no longer considered suitable to meet
the strategic government objectives for the site.
The Concept Plan was subject to a design excellence competition and
comprises:
• An estimated 1,258 residential dwellings, and 3,270 jobs across the
Precinct
• adaptive reuse of the heritage buildings for a range of uses including
cultural, community, commercial and residential
• a mixed-use precinct comprising residential, commercial and retail
uses to the east
• a cultural/commercial precinct in the centre of the site, comprising
the Carriageworks performance arts centre, additional cultural and
commercial floor space within the Carriage Workshop, and cultural
and commercial uses within the Blacksmiths’ Shop
• a residential precinct to the west
• open space, public domain and roads across the site with five new
parks totaling approximately 9,400 square metres
• a child care centre for approximately 45 children
• car parking across the Precinct for a total of 1,800 car parking
spaces
• affordable housing.
In 2013, the Platform Apartments affordable housing development
was approved in accordance with the Concept Plan (SSD5708). The
development includes 88 residential apartments, 39 car parking spaces,
landscaping and associated site works and opened in 2016. Approved Concept Plan December 2008, Prepared by Bates Smart

State Environmental Planning Policy (State Significant Precincts)
2005
The State Environmental Planning Policy (State Significant Precincts)
2005 (SSP SEPP) forms an existing set of planning controls across
the Precinct and South Eveleigh. These controls specify the zoning,
maximum building heights and floor space ratio that any new
development proposals must comply with.
This SSP SEPP, together with Schedule 2 of the State Environmental
Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011 (SRD SEPP),
declares that development within the Precinct with a capital investment
value of more than $10 million is State Significant Development.
Accordingly, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces is the consent
authority for development proposed within the Precinct over $10
million.
2008 Concept Plan
The 2008 Concept Plan provides additional development controls such
as specific land uses, building heights, total maximum allowable floor
space, development footprints, location of open space and maximum
allowable number of car parking spaces. These controls allow for
around 177,000 square metres of development within the Precinct.
Other planning instruments
A number of other planning instruments will apply to the Precinct
renewal as works progress. A future planning strategy will explore these
requirements further.
As a key strategic development site in NSW, the Precinct is subject
to State-led planning processes. Notwithstanding this, ongoing
collaboration with the City of Sydney Council will provide local input
into the planning and design process.

environment for Aboriginal children5.
State and local Governments sought to relocate the large
Aboriginal population away from the area, drawing attention to
the overcrowded and ‘slum-like’ conditions in which many people
lived. In 1965, a large area of housing was destroyed to build the
Redfern mail exchange and, in 1968, the NSW Department of
Housing started to resettle Aboriginal people away from the inner
city to suburbs such as Mt Druitt and Campbelltown.
The 1970s was a key turning point for the community living in the
area.
• The national referendum in 1967 and the election of the
Whitlam Government in 1972 brought new opportunities and
freedoms to Aboriginal people.
• Increasing numbers of Aboriginal people moved into the city
from rural areas with the population increasing to more than
35,000 by the early 1970s.
• With increasing rents and pressure to move to outer suburbs,
the Aboriginal community united to stay in the area. In 1972,
when a large construction company purchased several
houses in and around Louis Street and began forcibly evicting
Aboriginal residents from their homes, fifteen Aboriginal
residents were arrested for refusing to leave. A formal
submission made by the community for Federal Government
funding in 1973 saw the purchase of land (‘the Block’) and
establishment of the Aboriginal Housing Company to manage
the grant. This was the first housing collective in Australia
and effectively the first successful land rights claim by an
Aboriginal community. This ‘space’ quickly became a ‘place’
inscribed with Aboriginal culture and identity.
