Streets4Living Action Group

Streets4Living is a 1 year project aimed at creating a space at Phyllis St/Warruga Ave. that encourages people to meet, connect and get around by walking & cycling. It has come out of a partnership involving local groups, residents, the Victorian Government, Knox City Council and Knox Community Health Service. It is the first stage of a community vision developed for Bayswater West and this partnership is working towards this area becoming a great neighbourhood hub for all.

Bayswater Buzz - second edition out now.

Welcoming Bayswater Street Party is now less than a month away!!!

The details are:

Saturday November 20, 2010 from 10-3pm
Macauley Place Bayswater (Small Street next to the Mountain High Shopping Centre)
Street will be closed to traffic and parking between 8.30 & 4pm

So put it in your calendar and plan to…

• Get your Christmas Presents early from the range of art, craft and novelty market stalls
• Let the kids run free along the street with activities including: free jumping castle, face painting, reindeer decoration, seedling planting, art and craft, storytelling, animal petting zoo, a demonstration by Knox Raiders Basketball Team & hearing if they’re entry has won the School Art Competition
• Enjoy Free Food: Devonshire teas, sausage sizzle (including Halal and Vegetarian options) while listening to live music.

The Welcoming Bayswater Street party celebrates Social Inclusion Week. The party aims to encourage people to get to know each other, connect with neighbourhood & be a part of this fantastic community and activities of Bayswater. It also seeks to encourage people to walk, cycle or take public transport when getting around locally, so we encourage you to find creative ways to get there (or part way there) without a car.

There is still time to get actively involved by…
running a stalls, food demonstration to promote your culture, performances, sponsoring the event or donating prizes or products for competitions, organising a walk or cycle from your street, school or group venue to attend the party, or just being there to meet and build networks with others in the community (so talk to us if you are interested)

Remember this event is run by and for the Bayswater Community so the more who get involved the better it will be!!

Make sure you are part of the fun:

• Put it in your calendar 
• Let your friends and neighbours know and organise to come together or meet them there
• Find ways to walk, cycle or take public transport to get there
• Bring it up with your group/organisation if you’d like to be actively involved
• Print and distribute or email the attached fliers to friends, neighbours, group members and others to make this a vibrant fun event for all.

For more information or to get involved contact Leonie Deacon (Mondays and Thursdays) 9757 6200 or Catherine D’Arcy  9757 6261 at Knox Community Health Service or simply email back.
