Neighbourhood Connect

At Neighbourhood Connect, we believe that living in a connected neighbourhood makes us feel happier, safer and more supported, so we’re creating a movement to bring back that lovin’ feeling across Australia!

Formerly known as the Street by Street Project,  we have been helping to create connected neighbourhoods since 2014 and want people to love where they live, feel like they belong, and enjoy being part of the community.

If you’ve ever been part of a friendly neighbourhood that made you feel like you belonged, count yourself amongst the lucky ones.  Research has found that one in four adults experience loneliness and our busy lifestyles mean fewer of us know and trust our neighbours than ever before.

We make it easy for you to kick off a gathering of neighbours. We provide free resources, plus encouragement and support along the way. Groups are informal, fun and can connect over a range of activities: chats over coffee, or a meal, sharing stories and music, organising clean ups and gardening, lending a hand when needed…just about anything that suits the group!

Relax, there are no costs involved – we are a not-for-profit group who genuinely believe in the value of connected neighbourhoods. We’re also a friendly bunch and would love to chat with you.
