Every year since 2015, we have put on an annual Community Street Party in Marshall Street, South Melbourne (behind South Melbourne Town Hall). The street party revolves around lots of food and good music, and aims to:
- be a social outing for our tenants
- connect our organisation to the wider community including local residents and businesses
- Promote awareness of issues around homelessness and community housing
This is a partnership with the Father Bob Foundation. Food is free and there are stalls offering free second hand clothing and goods.
We also offer “door prizes” which are generously donated by our local traders: meals at local cafes; shop vouchers; book vouchers. Now that’s community.
If you would like to support our Street Party or perhaps donate a “Door Prize”, we would love to hear from you.
South Port Community Housing Group would like to acknowledge that we operate here today on the land of the traditional owners of this land, the Yalukit Willam clan of the Boon Wurrung. We pay our respect to their elders, past and present. We recognise and respect the significance of their cultural heritage and relationship with the land as we work from the historic meeting place of Emerald Hill.
