Since returning to work from the festive holidays, our staff members have had a few enquiries about the details of the redevelopment especially from the Chinese residents.
Some of those who have an idea of the announcement have since succumbed to some wild rumours. These spurious rumours ranged from being allocated $10,000 to $15,000 into their bank accounts to help with their relocation, being put in a hotel from mid-2017 until the new units are built, to getting a brand new unit by late 2017.
When asked about where they’d got such information, their responses ranged from “getting the information from their neighbours” or “everyone has been talking about it”. When probed further on whether they have checked with the Housing NSW department officers, they all responded that the office has provided little to no information about the details.
Here, we have advised the CALD residents, especially in this case the Chinese community, to be patient and not believe in any information unless they receive the information directly from the Department of Housing.
