There are no fees charged by Council to run a Street Meet. It just takes your time to organise the get-together and manage street closure on the day.

Two months before your Street Meet...

• Read the Street Meet Kit
• Call Council to find out if your street is suitable
• Speak with your neighbours and gather their support

At least 6 weeks before...

• Submit your application for your Street Meet. Once the application is submitted we will be in touch to progress the road closure approval.
• Applications should be lodged no less than 6 weeks before your Street Meet and you must have gathered neighbourhood support prior to submitting your application.
• We will prepare a traffic guidance scheme for your event, obtain approval for the closure, arrange the signs and traffic control devices to be delivered to you and provide notification of your street meet.

Submit an Application

2 to 3 weeks before...

• Street Meet Organiser and road closure crew view online video and complete quiz

• Notify your neighbours the Street Meet is going ahead

One week to go!

• Re-confirm your road closure crew
• Familiarise yourself with the Traffic Guidance Scheme we have provided you
• When the signs and traffic control devices arrive, check you have all the signs as outlined in the plan

Is my street suitable? 

Street Meets can be on local access streets, generally those that carry 1,000 cars or less per day and have minimal through traffic. Streets cannot be on a public transport or strategic commercial route. Either the whole street or a portion of a street can be closed. If you're unsure, give us a call on 8408 1111.

The street remains accessible by emergency service vehicles. On street parking is still permitted during a Street Meet at the vehicle owner’s own risk.

Delegate a key resident 

You need a key resident to be the driving force behind your Street Meet. This person needs:

• time to organise a Street Meet
• support from neighbours
• minimum of 2 others willing to be road closure crew. Their role is to install and remove the road closure, stand at the end of the road closure to monitor the road closure throughout the party and escort local resident cars entering or exiting the road closure area (if required although we would prefer not to have any local cars entering or exiting the road closure while the Street Meet is underway)
• energy to get surrounding residents on board
• to understand the benefits of a Street Meet

We can support your Street Meet by providing:

• a step by step Street Meet Kit to assist you in organising your own Street Meet
• a video clip on how to safely close your street
• a Traffic Guidance Scheme outlining how the street is to be closed
• traffic control devices and signs
• public liability insurance for the Street Meet
