These four suburbs, colloquially knownas Redfern/Waterloo, are located3km south of the central business district of Sydney.

WithintheSydney MetropolitanStrategy(see Figure1),acitylevel strategic planning document, Redfern/Waterloo is located squarely within the "global economic corridor" of "Global Sydney" (NSW Government, 2013a, p. 4).
