Neighbour Day – Sunday 30 March – is Australia’s annual celebration of community, encouraging people to connect with those who live in their neighbourhood.

The City of Clarence is a people friendly city, we value diversity and encourage equity, inclusiveness and accessibility.  Acts of connection, no matter how big or small, help to improve community resilience and wellbeing.  When someone feels like they belong, wellbeing increases and loneliness decreases.

The theme for Neighbour Day 2025 is “Create, Share and grow belonging” and we want to hear stories from your community.  What has your neighbour done to create, share and grow belonging?

Need inspiration?

  • A story about a community gathering
  • A neighbourhood initiative that brought people together
  • How your community supports each other
  • Cultural celebrations that create connections?
  • Acts of kindness
  • Activities that make anyone feel welcomed
  • Volunteering

Nominations close on Friday 7 March 2025.
