Relationships Australia. What does it take to build a strong neighbourhood?

Sometimes it is a council-led initiative reaching thousands of households. Sometimes it is one resident putting a bookshelf on their verge.

In this episode, Relationships Australia bring together two very different scales of neighbourly action to share how you can create communities where people genuinely feel they belong. Ngaire Trigg from Very Neighbourly Organisation Townsville City Council in Queensland shares how a long-standing council relationship with Neighbours Every Day has grown into practical tools such as cobranded connection cards and neighbour-contact fridge magnets. Jody Moate, a community volunteer connected to three Very Neighbourly Organisations — Pasadena Community Centre, Pasadena and St Marys Action Group, and the Little Library on Lloyd Street in South Australia — shares what it looks like when neighbours simply decide to start something themselves. Together, they show that belonging grows at every scale, from council chambers to front verges.

You have a God-given shape, calling and purpose. Stronger Network want to help you step into that.

Stronger Conferences bring together people to release inspiration, insights and practical ideas as you live out your faith with the tools God has given you, and in the contexts he has placed you. The conference takes place annually in January and brings together contributors and speakers addressing a range of topics from across six core themes: Leadership, Culture, Purpose, Innovation, Message, Resource.
