Cassowary Coast, QLD develops neighborhood clean-up campaigns through Meet Your Street initiative

Meet Your Street asked groups of four or more neighbors to hold clean-up events on their streets. Each group submitted at least three photos from the clean-up and an application to enter a drawing. Cassowary Coast selected six groups to each receive $200 AUD barbecue packs for small-scale events in their neighborhoods. This initiative turned streets into cohesive social units while encouraging maintenance ahead of summer storms.
