Neighbourhood Gatherings

Local, fun and creative gatherings!

Neighbourhood gatherings help to bring local communities together and give everyone a chance to meet the people who live around them.

We want to encourage and support our community to host small community celebrations and neighbourhood gatherings. We want
to make things easier for residents, community groups and sporting clubs to come together safely in public spaces by covering the cost of street closures and insurance.

The School Holidays, Christmas and New Year are all fast approaching. These special cultural events make an excellent opportunity to organise a get-together. But you don't need any special reason to organise a gathering!

If you want to organise a neighbourhood gathering in PAE, we want to make it as simple and easy as possible.

We can help by:
* Funding a road closure for eligible local streets 
* Covering the cost of insurance for small neighbour gatherings

More information about how to organise and get support for your gathering is available in the Neighbourhood Gatherings Information guide (PDF, 675.54 KB)

We're currently accepting expressions of interest for this initiative- tell us more about your planned gathering by filling out this form: Neighbourhood Gatherings form

"We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we stand, the Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plains. It is upon their ancestral lands that the Port Adelaide Enfield Council meets. It is also the Place of the Kardi, the Emu, whose story travels from the coast inland. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We respect their spiritual beliefs and connections to land which are of continuing importance to the living Kaurna People of today. We further acknowledge the contributions and important role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within our shared community."
