1000 Play Streets is a Play Australia led movement delivered in partnership with Local Government, Community Partners and Communities to support Australians to reclaim their quiet residential streets as places for neighbours of all ages to connect and play.
This presentation celebrates the importance of outdoor play for our communities, as well as sharing impacts of the 1000 Play Streets movement and key learnings to date, particularly on how these gatherings can encourage more outdoor play in our neighbourhoods.
Attendees will learn about the movement and find out how they can help get their neighbours involved.
