A new and wonderful resource has been produced as a group effort by residents of Massey, Waitakere. This is a simple and comprehensive guide on how to plan your street BBQ, and is based on practical experience.  You can download the PDF.

Comments from the authors of this resource

"We live in a flat on a street in Massey East. We were new in the area, so to connect with our neighbours we decided to have a street BBQ. It was a great opportunity to meet and get to know the families living around us. Everyone had so much fun, our street started dreaming of what else we could do. It inspired us to believe that building a strong community was possible, so the following year we ran another street BBQ. This was even better than the first, as we all planned and organised our street BBQ together. Street BBQs are a celebration of community life. We hope this will encourage you to begin the journey and start with your own street BBQ. Good luck with organising something in your street!"
