In 2022, Two Point Co, a 100% Indigenous-owned consultancy completed a community consultation on behalf of the City of Sydney.
They asked the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community for their views on the future use of 119 Redfern Street. More than 250 people gave their feedback through surveys, yarning sessions, pop-up stalls and one-on-one conversations.
