Getting started

Depending on your event, it's a good idea to start planning two to three months in advance. You will need to get support from your neighbour, the City and Police.

To get things started, please follow these simple steps. The Streets Meets Guide provides more detailed information. 

1. Plan your event and seek support from your neighbours
2. Discuss your proposed event with the City by calling us on 94747 0777 or by emailing communitysafety@southperth
3. Submit an application to the WA Police for temporary road closure 
4. Submit the necessary paperwork to the City for event approval via our online form.

In order to close your street, you will need to demonstrate approval from the majority of the people who live there. 

The Streets Meets Guide provides tools, templates and examples that can help when organising an event including:

• Event guide
• Event checklist
• Letterbox notification
• Neighbour consent form
