A street tradition is a regular, repeated event, that fosters a sense of belonging, ownership and connection between neighbours. It could be an annual birthday party for your street, a Christmas BBQ, the anniversary of X, or the first Sunday of Y month each year!

Ingredients:

• Residents of your street
• An invitation to participate
• Food and drink is often a welcome addition

Method:

1. An example: Residents of Bellingham Parade in Kwinana host an annual Easter Egg Hunt. Families donate chocolate eggs which are hidden along the verges and front gardens by teenage residents.
2. The younger children hunt for the eggs whilst adults enjoy their BYO coffee and a good chat.
3. Someone usually brings out a tray of hot cross buns for everyone to enjoy.
