Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Last year you told us what we might include around the river to make a better lifestyle, better flood protection and improved transport movement.
We listened and got to work and are about two thirds of the way through the plans. So come and check them out inside our kitted out container. There will be heaps of attractions coming and going including a coffee cart, food truck, jazz band and fitness programme and heaps more.

Any member of the public, dog lovers and walkers have the chance to make submissions on the Bylaw until 8 February 2017. After that time submissions are reviewed and the recommendations incorporated into the Bylaw, it becomes permanent.
Visit the link below and see maps of the changes and a very easy on-line submission form to fill in if you have anything to say.
