Roll out the streamers, prepare a plate and enjoy a street party with your neighbours!
Wyndham City is launching a twelve-month trial of Street Parties on Saturday, 30 March, to coincide with Neighbour Day. Wyndham Street Parties is a new program reviving a longstanding tradition that will see residents host get-togethers in their streets.
Wyndham City is supporting the program with an easy how-to guide, a streamlined approval process, neighbourhood grants, dedicated support and safe closure of approved streets for up to four hours.
Wyndham City Mayor and Family Friendly City portfolio holder Cr Mia Shaw said she was excited about the prospect of seeing street parties pop up across neighbourhoods in Wyndham.
“A street party is a fun way to meet neighbours for the first time or strengthen existing friendships in an informal setting where they can chat, share a meal, as well as play music and games,” Cr Shaw said.
“We’ve tried to think of everything to help residents host a safe, fun, family-friendly get together in their local neighbourhood to make them a roaring success. I encourage residents to get together with your neighbours and start planning your Wyndham Street Party now.”
Wyndham City will be launching the Street Party pilot program on 30 March at the Tarneit Community Games, which will be held at Seasons Main Park on Sundial Boulevard in Tarneit from 11am-3pm. Council staff will be on hand to provide more information and Wyndham Street Parties application forms will be available
The pilot program will run for twelve months. For more information and to apply to host a street party, visit www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/streetparties
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
