Each year Randwick Council invites residents to think about the environment over the Festive season by considering gifts that last and can help out the environment e.g. solar panels, compost bins, bicycles, gifts from charity organisations, bee hives, chooks, and the rest!
The Best Gift Market is an extension of Sustainability’s, Sustaining our City annual campaign called the Best Gift in the World where we encourage our community to be mindful at Christmas time with considering packaging, thinking about the amounts of food we prepare and food wasted around this time of year and considering gift items that benefit would the environment.
Held only once a year, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Take a look at the highlights from the Best Gift Market 2017 and 2019!
