Knowing your neighbours is a great way to create safe communities where we look out for one another.

We encourage you to get to know your neighbours at any time of year, whether it's through a friendly knock at the door with an invite for tea, a phone call, a message of support, an offer to help in the garden or by assisting with a grocery drop off.

You can connect with other residents by:

• taking part in our creative activities
• enjoying our Active & Healthy sessions
• engaging in our Naturally GC programs
• participating in activities held at our community centres
• visiting our Gold Coast Libraries.

Good neighbours build great neighbourhoods. Help create a sense of belonging in an inclusive community today.

Today, 27 May, marks Fatality Free Friday. Let's take not just today but every day to make our roads safe for everyone to use. Each year, around 1200 people are tragically killed on Australian roads. As a community, let's choose road safety and promise to always be fit to drive, stay focused on the road, keep a safe distance and drive to suit the conditions.
