Rainbow Precinct + Friends Networking Night

🌈 Oxford Street is Revitalised - be part of the conversation!

After six years of waiting, the Oxford Street development is almost complete. With the bike lane open, the Crown Street project finished, and exciting new ideas on the horizon, our precinct is buzzing with opportunity. From new markets to major events, now is the time for local business owners to get involved and shape what comes next.

We’re especially pleased to welcome Deputy Lord Mayor Zann Maxwell as our special guest. Zann will share some intriguing ideas for that hole-in-the-ground on Riley Street and how this long-vacant, unused and unloved site could be reimagined!

Join us at the Rainbow Precinct + Friends Networking Night for an evening of connection, collaboration, and insights into the opportunities coming your way. Meet fellow business owners, precinct members, and community partners from Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, and surrounding villages and hear directly from leaders driving the next wave of change.

Guest Speakers :
✨ Jesse Matheson, Sydney Mardi Gras – sharing fresh concepts for a new Mardi Gras launch event on Oxford Street and opportunities for local businesses to participate.
✨ Amanda Choulharton, Taylor Square market operator – reintroducing Saturday morning organic markets and unveiling a brand-new Friday Night Food Market, with opportunities for hospitality, retail, and creative vendors.
✨ Zann Maxwell, Lord Mayor of Sydney – discussing an exciting new concept for that hole-in-the-ground on Riley Street site, and how local businesses can get involved in shaping this space.

This networking night brings together members of the Rainbow Precinct, Darlinghurst Business Partnership, Surry Hills Business Precinct, Hollywood Quarter, and Darlo Village. It’s the perfect opportunity for business owners to explore collaborations, exchange ideas, and be part of the precinct’s exciting momentum.
