Neighbourhood Chats

Looking to slow down, have a warm drink, and enjoy a meaningful chat with others in your neighbourhood? Whether you are new to the area or have lived here for years, you are invited to come along and share a cuppa, a conversation, and a few laughs at one of our friendly community catch-ups.

In the City of Burnside, we know that strong communities are built on simple moments of connection. That is why we host a range of welcoming and relaxed get-togethers across our community venues designed to bring people together, spark conversations, and create opportunities for friendships to grow.

Whether you are keen to talk about art, wellbeing, films, or just have a friendly chat, there's a seat waiting for you. With groups meeting monthly at various locations, there is always a place to connect over a hot cuppa and good company.
