Over the past year, the City presented a new series of hyper-local neighbourhood events, including a collection of markets, pop-up performances and family fun days that united our community and boosted local businesses during these challenging times.

A total of 12 events were held between October and April, including Vintage Carnival, Circus de Main Street, Gourmet on the Green, Movies at Munro, and Bina Parkland Community Fun Day.
 
The City would like to thank all the residents who supported their local neighbourhood event - we hope you enjoyed it!

The City has recently joined the Cities Power Partnership (CPP), which is facilitated by the Climate Council.

Council committed to join the CPP in late 2020 and this pledge was further supported in the recent adoption of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) – (Corporate) 2020-2030.

The SEAP is a pragmatic and progressive plan to achieve 100 per cent of the City’s electricity from renewables and reduce overall emissions by 70 per cent by 2030.

More information about the SEAP (Corporate) 2020-2030 is available on the City’s Your Say Stirling project page www.stirling.wa.gov.au/your-city/your-say-stirling/sustainable-energy-action-plan-(corporate)

The City of Stirling’s inaugural Spill the Tea event kicked off this month, with young LGBTQIA+ members of the community coming to network over hot chocolate.

This event was sponsored by the City as part of our Youth Framework 2019-2013, which recognises young people are one of our community’s greatest assets. It says “a young person’s experience, views and needs may also be shaped by intersecting identities including race, culture gender, sexuality, socio-economic background and disability.”

The City would like to thank Gerry Matera, owner of the host venue Black Pig Deli and Vice President of Pride WA, for supporting the event.
