The New RedWater Community Markets will be held on the 3rd Saturday of each month at Redfern Park. 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 at the Factory Community Centre in partnership with Surry Hills Neighborhood Centre and others. All monies raised from the stall holder 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 focus of the market (though not exclusively) is on sustainable goods which are handmade, recycled, or second hand, and are environmentally friendly. This is to assist in the reduction of waste strategies of the City of Sydney Council. However, all good sold must be of reasonably high quality.
