Answer—

The report referred to was subject to Cabinet confidentiality and thus was not publicly released. The Street Team project was formally discontinued in 2005 shortly after the RWA assumed responsibility for the former Redfern-Waterloo Partnership Project. Residual funding was reallocated by the RWA Board to a number of worthwhile projects and activities to benefit the youth and young people of Redfern-Waterloo and in accordance with the Human Services Plan.

Project funding was reallocated to other important youth and community intitiatives including:

  • $750K capital funding for the Yaama Dhiyaan Indigenous Training College
  • $500K capital contribution for a new Police and Citizens Youth Club at the redeveloped former Redfern Public School
  • Funding for youth coordinator positions at Alexandria School and South Sydney Youth Service
  • Funding to assist the relocation of the Fact Tree youth service to a new drop-in centre at Waterloo Oval
  • Grants to local organisations
