Roll out the streamers, prepare a plate and enjoy a street party with your neighbours!
Wyndham City is encouraging and supporting neighbourhoods to take part in Wyndham Street Parties this summer.
With the longer days and warmer weather approaching, why not take part in the longstanding tradition of neighbourhood get-togethers in their streets?
Wyndham City Mayor and Family Friendly City portfolio holder, Cr Mia Shaw said Wyndham City was supporting the Wyndham Street Parties program with an easy how-to guide and a dedicated Street Party Liaison Officer to help with enquiries.
“Wyndham residents can enjoy parties on their streets and Council will ensure the closure of approved streets for up to four hours, so residents can socialise safely,” Cr Shaw said.
“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,” she said.
“By setting up an organised street party, makes it a safer environment to have family-friendly fun with the entire neighbourhood involved.”
“I encourage residents to get together with your neighbours and start planning your Wyndham Street Party now.”
This program will run until 30 March 2020. For more information and to apply to host a street party, visit www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/streetparties or contact Rheanna Christodoulou, Street Party Liaison Officer on streetparties@wyndham.vic.gov.au or 9742 0777
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.
