Logan residents are encouraged to share feel-good neighbourly stories, to help locals avoid loneliness and social isolation.
The Neighbours of Logan Good News Stories program encourages neighbours to celebrate what they are doing for each other.
Interested residents can submit a one-minute video that introduces themselves and outlines how they have engaged with, or shown kindness to, a neighbour.
The video can be taken on a mobile phone.
The initiative coincides with the nation-wide Neighbour Day on Sunday March 27.
Community centres across the City of Logan will host events to celebrate Neighbours of Logan.
Councillor Laurie Koranski says Neighbour Day is a practical and effective way to help address loneliness and social isolation.
“We have seen first-hand the effects of the pandemic on vulnerable and lonely residents, and we want to address this.
“Our community centres will host events and residents will send through videos, stories and photos.
“This will create opportunities for our centres to engage, connect and build relationships with neighbours over a cuppa or a meal.”
A group of Windaroo residents, found a way to continue their community connections during COVID 19 lockdowns, by having drinks outside in their street on weekends.
Windaroo resident Denise Habib says it is important to have a good neighbourhood vibe.
“We have such a good neighbourhood here.
“When lockdown was on, we all sat in our driveways for Sunday afternoon drinks, socially distanced of course.”
