REDWATER Community Markets

The New RedWater Community Markets will be held on the 3rd Saturday of each month at Redfern Park. The Second Market will be held on Saturday 17th October 2009 at Redfern Park and held between 8am and 4pm. These community markets are sponsored by the City of Sydney as part of a local community action plan and are organised by the Housing communities Program (HCP) at the Factory Community Centre in partnership with Surry Hills Neighborhood Centre and others. All monies raised from the stallholder fees for the markets are injected back into supporting local environmental community projects such as the Waterloo Recycling Workshop. As the market is part of local community action on climate change the focuses of the market (not exclusively) is on sustainable goods which are handmade, recycled, or second hand, and are environmental friendly. This is to assist in the reduction of waste strategies of the City Council. However all goods sold must be of reasonably high quality.
