One of the first outcomes from the City of Sydney resolutions regarding the Redfern Business Precinct Study was the formation of a Roll Up Redfern committee which was bought together by Council CEO Monica Barone, RWA CEO Roy Wakelin- King along with The Redfern Waterloo Chamber of Commerce. Souths Football Club and REDWatch have been invited to join the committee to address some of the issues in an integrated manner. The RWA describe the Roll Up Redfern Campaign as:

“The campaign aims at encouraging local businesses to roll up their shutters to create inviting and vibrant streetscapes for new visitors to the area. More than 2,000 people will be calling the Redfern area their working home in the coming year with the arrival of Channel 7 and its partner companies. Rolling up shutters sends the message that Redfern is open for business and activity.”

Following visits to some of the shops on Redfern Street a letter has been sent to commercial / retail property owners and tenants advising them of the changes expected in the next few months and asking businesses to consider Rolling Up their Shutters and welcoming people to their businesses.A copy of the letter to property owners signed jointly by the City of Sydney, The Redfern Waterloo Authority and the Redfern Waterloo Chamber of Commerce is provided below.
