Love My Neighbourhood

Street Meets

Residents are encouraged to host a Street Meets get-together or activity, focusing on small, simple street-based initiatives such as a BBQ at a park or street book exchange. By coming together, community members are able to forge strong, lasting friendships and new social networks that increase personal and community connection and cultivate a sense of wellbeing while improving safety.

The Street Meets grants aim to:

• Provide local residents with resources and support to organise activities in their streets and local parks;
• Assist community members to create connections with others living in their neighbourhoods;
• Increase the number of street activities happening in Kwinana;
• Increase feelings of safety through increased levels of connection and passive surveillance;
• Reduce feelings of isolation;
• Identify community leaders and community assets; and
• Build capacity of our community leaders.

The City of Kwinana will provide up to $150 (as a reimbursement after the activity) to encourage and support community members to organise and host street-level activities in their streets and local parks and invite their neighbours to attend or participate.

Applicants must register their event prior to it taking place, to be eligible for the Neighbour Day Every Day Grant. Register your Street Meet activity the SmartyGrants online portal.
