Guide to Street Parties

Council's Guide to Street Parties aims to help locals looking to coordinate annual street party events with their neighbours. In addition to clearly explaining the steps required to gaining permission to host an event in a local street, there are a number of resources available to approved events. This includes free recycling and waste collection, shade tents and invitation templates.

DID YOU KNOW? In 2015 Lane Cove became the first Council in Australia to receive the status of 'Very Neighbourly Organisation'. A Very Neighbourly Organisation must demonstrate the following five principles which represent the founding principles of Neighbour Day:-

1. Strengthen communities and build better relationships with the people who live around us;
2. Create safer, healthier and more vibrant suburbs and towns;
3. Promote tolerance, respect and understanding;
4. Break down community barriers; and
5. Protect the elderly, the vulnerable and the disadvantaged.

For more information on Neighbour Day and other Very Neighbourly Organisations, visit the National Neighbour Day website.
