Comment sought

QUESTIONNAIRES have been sent to Northbridge businesses asking for comment on a trial of multicultural arts and crafts markets in Russell Square.

It is proposed the markets, to be managed by the Aboriginal International Friendship Foundation, be a family-oriented, alcohol-free open air markets geared toward the promotion of indigenous and non-indigenous cultures.

Up to fifty lightweight demountable stalls are proposed to be located along the existing pathways within the square, selling cultural arts and crafts products.

Small-scale cultural events such as dance and theatre will be held within the central bandstand during market times. Music will be non-amplified.

Questionnaires must be returned by 9 September.
