Neighbour Day and Street Meet Rebates

Neighbour Day is Australia's day to celebrate community. It’s a time to get to know the people living near you, including your neighbours next door, across the road or down the street. You might have a BBQ, a cuppa, or a friendly chat. Meanwhile, Street Meets are an initiative that encourages residents to plan and hold events in their neighbourhood.

Neighbour Day

Neighbour Day happens every year on the last Sunday in March. It’s a great chance to thank your neighbours and build better relationships. Please note any successful grants of $500 or more will be detailed on the City’s online register for a period of 5 years. Details will include name, brief description, amount awarded and acquital status.

You will only be eligible if you have acquitted any previous funding applications given by the City of Kwinana.
