Such a success was their gathering they've decided to organise a street party this weekend to mark National Neighbour Day.

Resident Finola Doran has volunteered her lawn as the venue and invited her fellow residents to bring along a plate and pull up a chair for the street party.

Ms Doran organised the get together to coincide with National Neighbour Day and also thanks to the success of the initial street party late last year.

"[At the first event] everybody in the street turned up with kids and some family and it was really good...it was just nice, people talking, introducing each other and building that comfort with each other," she said.

"The reaction was pretty amazing because most people went 'I've been thinking about doing this for a long time and haven't done it'. They were grateful and wanted to know when was the next's one?"

Ms Doran has been a Webber Place resident for the past three years and recalled one of her first interactions.

"I suppose the thing that inspired me was that when we moved in Frank at number seven came over and said...'do you suffer epilepsy? Because I do Christmas lights and you're going to have a problem if you suffer from epilepsy because you can see them from the moon," she said.

"Sure enough Christmas came, he turned the lights on and that was the first time ever that the street came together. They threw a table in the middle of the street and blocked off half of the street."

Ms Doran said one of the benefits of getting her neighbours is establishing a connection with others.  

"I think it's made people more comfortable just to talk, to share things and to be involved with each other," she said.

"It breaks down the barriers and if there's an issue you can go speak to them because you're on talking terms anyway."

Ms Doran hoped the street gatherings will become a regular fixture and serve as inspiration for other streets to organise their own events.

"Hopefully we'll get a 'street competition' going where people can organise their own event," she said.

"It's not even about  having a street party, it can just be knocking on your neighbour's door and finding out who they are or helping someone if they need help.

"It's not about being in each other's pockets."  

National Neighbour Day is celebrated on Sunday, March 29. For more information visit www.neighbourday.org.
