In support of the Sydney Pride Festival, Darlinghurst Traders come together with the
community for the next Taylor Square Community Markets. Roving entertainers,
fantastic shows on the deck of the Oxford Hotel and a square full of stalls means a
great time for all. Business through the area will be trading out on the streets with
the day being the culmination of the week long Sydney Pride Festival.
We are very proud to present the first Taylor Square Community Markets. In addition to the community markets (NFP, Artists & Local Traders) at Taylor Square, City of Sydney Council has provided ‘in kind’ support by covering the fees to all traders have stalls out the front of their shops for the day. So come to Darlinghurst for the first ever footpath festival and community market.
The New Darlinghurst Markets are back in ‘09! The first exciting day will be held on the the 7th of February 2009.
The Darlinghurst Markets are held in Heffron hall which means they can be held rain, hail or shine!
On behalf of the Darlinghurst Business Partnership Redkite Agency has launched a media famil programme inviting journalists to stay in the area and enjoy a Darlinghurst experience. The programme kicked off with the distribution of a detailed media release outlining Darlinghurst’s fabulous food, arts, design and shopping. Interest has been secured from top tier media and we recently hosted Arrivals and Departures Magazine in the area, so look out for the Darlinghurst feature in the next edition. Over the coming months we will be hosting more journalists so keep an eye out for articles about Darlinghurst and if you are interested in becoming involved in the programme please let the Darlinghurst Business Partnership know.
The Planning Development and Transport Committee of the City of Sydney Council, met on Monday and unanimously supported Independent Councillor John McInerney’s amendment to pursue returning Foveaux and Albion Streets to two-way traffic.

It is going to be an amazing evening filled with laughter, love and celebration!
At next Monday’s Council Committee meetings there is going to be discussion on the Bourke St Cycleway that has been proposed as part of the Sustainable Sydney 2030 Plan.
We encourage people to have a look as this will be one of the only chances to comment prior to Council passing judgement on what will actually happen.
