Campaign manager Islam Bouyahia and owners of The Flower Market, Lawley’s Bakery, Angry Almond and TR & TR Fruit and Veg founded the committee.

TR & TR stallholder Diep Tran said it was heartening to see the stallholders support each other and show a united front.

‘We know that redevelopment will happen, it’s just a matter of time,’ she said.

‘The committee’s main objective is to represent the 60 stall owners at the market. It allows us to voice our concerns and opinions as a collective group.’

Ms Tran said the committee was very keen to work with the City to relocate or build a new market. ‘We want to see things happen in a timely manner,’ she said. ‘We don’t want to see the process delayed by politics.’
