Sunbury Neighbour Day is all about making social connections with people in our neighbourhood.
Sunbury Neighbour Day
Sunday 21st March, 2027
Let's make social connections with people in our neighbourhood and combat social isolation and loneliness in our community.
Sunbury Neighbour Day gives us the opportunity to get to know others, re-connect, foster a sense of belonging, and strengthen our community.
We all want Sunbury to be a connected and strong community
In recent years the population boom has brought thousands of new residents into the area, and many new individuals and families don’t know their neighbours or don’t have any local social connections.
Across Australia, rates of loneliness and social isolation are at an all-time high, impacting our mental and physical health. We’ve all heard it said that despite being more connected than ever before in our modern world, we are isolated and disconnected.
"I made many new friends and had the opportunity of getting to know many families that, like me, made Everley estate, their home." 2025 Neighbour

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we as the Sunbury community work, play and reside, the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people of the Kulin nation. We acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea and community and we pay our respects to them, their cultures and to their Elders past and present.
