Performances are short (around 30 minutes) and quiet (acoustic, with about 30m or two-house spacing), participating houses are marked with balloons, and a WhatsApp group keeps things on schedule on the day. A sample Letter of Support to neighbours is included."},"description":{"id":"69b1d9785e7c6517d42132e7_description","text":""},"folder":null,"files":[{"id":"69b20eb65e7c6517d42136ee","name":"How To Guide Neighbourhood Porch Fest","slug":"how-to-guide-neighbourhood-porch-fest","file":{"id":"file_doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-guide-neighbourhood-porch-fest_file__How_To_Guide_Neighbourhood_Porch_Fest_ebubqs.docx","url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/raw/upload/v1773276847/doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-guide-neighbourhood-porch-fest_file__How_To_Guide_Neighbourhood_Porch_Fest_ebubqs.docx","extension":""}}]},{"id":"69b1d9885e7c6517d42132ea","name":"How to host a walkshop","slug":"how-to-host-a-walkshop","typeLabel":"Placemaking & Projects","badge":null,"updated":"2026-05-01T01:58:52.53","__typename":"Platform_Document","_schema":{"label":"Document","pluralLabel":"Documents"},"type":{"id":"69b1df965e7c6517d42134f0","name":"Placemaking & Projects","slug":"placemaking-projects","__typename":"Platform_DocumentType"},"content":{"id":"69b1d9885e7c6517d42132ea_content","text":"- **Purpose & how to use:** A how-to for the \"walkshop\" — a mini walking-tour-meets-workshop in a street or place.

After meeting at an easy-to-find landmark and opening with an Acknowledgement of Country, the host facilitates discussion on streets, shopfronts, blank walls, parking, footpaths, connections, \"curious\" places and vacant spaces.

A glossary of event-industry jargon rounds it off."},"description":{"id":"69b1da775e7c6517d421331a_description","text":""},"folder":null,"files":[{"id":"69b210f3f335165d0457f320","name":"How To Run a Major Event v2","slug":"how-to-run-a-major-event-v-2","file":{"id":"file_doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-run-a-major-event-v-2_file__How_To_Run_a_Major_Event_v2_qb6v1b.docx","url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/raw/upload/v1773277420/doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-run-a-major-event-v-2_file__How_To_Run_a_Major_Event_v2_qb6v1b.docx","extension":""}}]},{"id":"69b1da8e5e7c6517d421331d","name":"How to run a Market","slug":"how-to-run-a-market","typeLabel":"Event Management","badge":null,"updated":"2026-05-01T07:57:38.97","__typename":"Platform_Document","_schema":{"label":"Document","pluralLabel":"Documents"},"type":{"id":"69b1df595e7c6517d4213472","name":"Event Management","slug":"event-management","__typename":"Platform_DocumentType"},"content":{"id":"69b1da8e5e7c6517d421331d_content","text":"- **Purpose & how to use:** A general guide to organising a community market, from concept to pack-up.

Within minutes, the place was utilised by people, who were seating, eating and talking to each other. That’s when Bela and his collaborators knew they were on to something- “We created an opportunity for social interaction that wasn’t there before.”\nNowadays Park(ing) Day is a global movement which advocates for safer, greener, more vibrant, connected and community friendly streets. It’s a public, participatory project where people temporarily reclaim and repurpose parking spaces into public social places including but not limited to mini parks, art installations, seating or play areas or some form of activity.\n\n### Process and approvals\nA step-by-step Park(ing) Day manual is available on Parking Day website https://www.myparkingday.org/how-to\\\nYou can approach it two ways, guerilla style or formally seek permission and collaborate with your Local Government.

Artists should be paid fairly (no \"exposure\"-only deals), with a contract and a staged payment schedule of 10–50% upfront recommended."},"description":{"id":"69f41f8b0b8dcc2d7360fa8d_description","text":""},"folder":null,"files":[{"id":"69f41f840b8dcc2d7360fa8a","name":"How To Do a Mural Project v2 Tasmania","slug":"how-to-do-a-mural-project-v-2-tasmania","file":{"id":"file_doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-do-a-mural-project-v-2-tasmania_file__How_To_Do_a_Mural_Project_v2_Tasmania_vvuui9","url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1777606518/doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-do-a-mural-project-v-2-tasmania_file__How_To_Do_a_Mural_Project_v2_Tasmania_vvuui9.pdf","extension":"pdf"}}]},{"id":"69f4200e0b8dcc2d7360fa93","name":"How To Generate Revenue for Your Town Team or Community Group","slug":"how-to-generate-revenue-for-your-town-team-or-community-group","typeLabel":"Funding & Insurance","badge":null,"updated":"2026-06-09T02:33:53.11","__typename":"Platform_Document","_schema":{"label":"Document","pluralLabel":"Documents"},"type":{"id":"69b1dfa15e7c6517d421351f","name":"Funding & Insurance","slug":"funding-insurance","__typename":"Platform_DocumentType"},"content":{"id":"69f4200e0b8dcc2d7360fa93_content","text":"- **Purpose & how to use:** This is a short guide on how to generate funds for your Town Team or community group.\n- **Who it's for:** Town Team, community groups, committees, treasurers and project leads looking for a ist of revenue ideas\n- **Key points:** The guide outlines six potential revenue streams: 1. grants and some tips on where to look for them in Australia; 2. social events; 3. markets, festivals and events (examples are not discussed, but could include events such as  the Mt Hawthorn Streets and Laneways and Inglewood Monday Night Markets); 4. memberships (with tiered benefits for residents and traders); recycling through Australian State Government programs; 6. product sales (cookbooks, branded bags, t-shirts, olive oil). \n\n"},"description":{"id":"69f4200e0b8dcc2d7360fa93_description","text":""},"folder":null,"files":[{"id":"69f420050b8dcc2d7360fa90","name":"How To Generate Revenue for Your Town Team or Community Group","slug":"how-to-generate-revenue-for-your-town-team-or-community-group","file":{"id":"file_doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-generate-revenue-for-your-town-team-or-community-group_file__How_to_generate_funds_for_your_Town_Team_dmjuny","url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1780962476/doing-collective/file-asset/how-to-generate-revenue-for-your-town-team-or-community-group_file__How_to_generate_funds_for_your_Town_Team_dmjuny.pdf","extension":"pdf"}}]},{"id":"69f420a50b8dcc2d7360fa99","name":"How Placemaking can put more money in your till courtesy of Creative Communities","slug":"how-placemaking-can-put-more-money-in-your-till-courtesy-of-creative-communities","typeLabel":"Placemaking & Projects","badge":null,"updated":"2026-05-01T03:40:21.31","__typename":"Platform_Document","_schema":{"label":"Document","pluralLabel":"Documents"},"type":{"id":"69b1df965e7c6517d42134f0","name":"Placemaking & Projects","slug":"placemaking-projects","__typename":"Platform_DocumentType"},"content":{"id":"69f420a50b8dcc2d7360fa99_content","text":"- **Document owner:** David Engwicht, Creative Communities (creative-communities.com).\n- **Purpose & how to use:** A free merchant-facing resource by David Engwicht (Creative Communities) explaining why a street's \"vibe\" or sense of place directly drives shop revenue, and what individual traders can do about it.

It sets out eight principles for building sense of place — enrich the total experience, fix small things that detract from quality, slow people flow with activity nodes, shift focus from intentional shoppers to leisure shoppers and tourists, deliver service and civility, add surprise and humour, offer authentic experiences, and cooperate rather than compete with neighbouring businesses — each with practical, low-cost actions a single trader can take."},"description":{"id":"69f420a50b8dcc2d7360fa99_description","text":""},"folder":null,"files":[{"id":"69f4209f0b8dcc2d7360fa96","name":"How Placemaking can put more money in your till courtesy of Creative Communities","slug":"how-placemaking-can-put-more-money-in-your-till-courtesy-of-creative-communities","file":{"id":"file_doing-collective/file-asset/how-placemaking-can-put-more-money-in-your-till-courtesy-of-creative-communities_file__How_Placemaking_can_put_more_money_in_your_till_courtesy_of_Creative_Communities_bkluve","url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1777606770/doing-collective/file-asset/how-placemaking-can-put-more-money-in-your-till-courtesy-of-creative-communities_file__How_Placemaking_can_put_more_money_in_your_till_courtesy_of_Creative_Communities_bkluve.pdf","extension":"pdf"}}]},{"id":"69f421180b8dcc2d7360fa9f","name":"How to Create A Soap Box v2","slug":"how-to-create-a-soap-box-v-2","typeLabel":"Placemaking & Projects","badge":null,"updated":"2026-05-01T03:42:16.98","__typename":"Platform_Document","_schema":{"label":"Document","pluralLabel":"Documents"},"type":{"id":"69b1df965e7c6517d42134f0","name":"Placemaking & Projects","slug":"placemaking-projects","__typename":"Platform_DocumentType"},"content":{"id":"69f421180b8dcc2d7360fa9f_content","text":"- **Purpose & how to use:** A short how-to for running a pop-up Soapbox Speakers event — a low-cost, easy way to bring public speaking and ideas back into the street.

The four steps are choose a venue, date and time; put a call out for speakers through your channels; promote the event; and brief speakers with an information pack including the schedule and rules.
