Street-by-Street program further, as it is already operational by the City\u2019s council, rather than create a brand new initiative that would require further research, council consideration, and community feedback. By making a few modifications, Street-by-Street will continue to provide effective waste education alongside enhanced community building aspects that bring neighbours in the City of Kwinana closer together.<br><br>We propose that Street by-Street add three new aspects: music, lighting, and food sharing. During the ideation phase, we realised that atmosphere can be essential to encouraging people to gather. Lighting can help to direct people\u2019s gaze to what is most important at an event and set different moods (Halsey, 2010). Also, although the ice-cream truck music helped to attract many people to the event, we  noticed that some people did not stay for the duration of the event afterwards. When it turned off, it felt quite jarring in the sudden absence of sound, and we realised we could talk to each other much more easily. Sound is an important consideration when designing events. Instead of ringing the ice-cream truck, we propose that Street-by-Street has a playlist of music and fun lighting, such as fairy lights, to attract residents to the event.<br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-7a8bb1bf850dfac7e97d52933e88b26c\">Additionally, sharing food has been found to generate trust between people and bring communities closer together (Dunbar, 2017, p.198). If we encourage people to bring a plate of food, they may stay longer at the event and generate more conversations between neighbours. It is also a way of sharing culture and interests, such as if people bring food from other countries or a passionate baker makes their favourite recipe. We propose that at each Street-by-Street event, another table is set up where residents can put their plates of food to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/city-of-kwinana-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/city-of-kwinana-4.jpg 694w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/city-of-kwinana-4-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-custom-forest-green-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f767d760 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-left has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-262ccbc57dfba5016d10d3bd36bd5f46\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:0px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">kwinanna konnect <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"549\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/city-of-kwinana-5-e1763529873940.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/city-of-kwinana-5-e1763529873940.jpg 549w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/city-of-kwinana-5-e1763529873940-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-59eff923a3cde70ea4ee39b4e543d397\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">A major concern for our team was how we could encourage Street-by-Street attendees to sustain their new connections over time. While the pop up event presents a good opportunity for meeting your neighbours and starting the foundation of connection, ensuring connections are strengthened over time instead of fizzling out is important to address.<br><br>Kwinana Konnect, our proposed app concept, would allow residents to connect with each other on a localised social media platform. As well as a feature that helps residents find local handymen and advertise local events, our app would help residents build relationships with their neighbours. The app will give users positive reinforcement when they connect or reconnect with a neighbour. When a connection is made or you reconnect with a neighbour, you\u2019ll be able to tap your phones together and earn points. The app could also present another opportunity for the council to connect with constituents more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-custom-design-thinking-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-865e712fb58d14eb7cdf2ee8cfc6c8d6\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0px;font-style:normal;font-weight:700\">Overall, this app would help build a friendlier and more resilient community, encouraging residents to create and maintain relationships to increase their sense of connection, well-being, and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-3291d423603e409fb22b50c1f4b35ef7\"><br><br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5ad0a0cd wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-left has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-f300273346282d838b391d1e72648c87\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:0px;font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">BLOOD BLOOMERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a8a4745e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-16637d083696c8c21863a74ee2dfbb89\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.18), 0.99rem);font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;line-height:1.6\">In 2022 and 2023 Murdoch University partnered with Project Hiu, a not-for profit organisation that aims to provide an alternative income to fishermen in one of the largest shark fisheries in Indonesia. The partnership led to great projects being initiated to help the community and attract tourism to the area. However, the initial research conducted for Project Hiu against shark fishing led to an exploration of interconnected issues by the postgraduate design thinking students such as access to food, water security, education, womens health, healthcare, infrastructure, waste management and income were all factors that led to the community to rely heavily on the shark fishing industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-126.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/creativemediashowcase.murdoch.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ProjectHiuIndoTripDay8LRes-077.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-custom-calm-beige-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-8097be72ac8573ac038d26a8ec86cda7\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.18), 0.99rem);font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.5px;line-height:1.6\">During the research expeditions there were many moments when Erica, Nikki, and Sophie, those on the 2022 research team, shared moments with the community on Maringkik Island. A small island located 5km from Tanjung Luar, a market where many husbands, brothers, and sons are working to provide for their families trading and selling the sharks they catch.<br><br>One small act became the spark for something bigger. When Erica brought reusable pads back for a woman she had befriended on the island, the gesture opened up conversations about dignity, health, and resilience. That moment inspired a team of five to begin working alongside the women of Maringkik to improve access to menstrual health products, waste disposal solutions, and reproductive health
