In February 2025, residents of Mt Warner Estate came together for a community BBQ on their shared private drive. The event was a great opportunity for neighbours to connect, welcome new faces, and enjoy the final days of summer.
Every year, The Knight provides grants for Community and Sustainability initiatives, encouraging Owners Corporations to apply. In 2024, we teamed up with High Neighbour to offer successful applicants the chance to host an event, fully managed by High Neighbour, with consumables covered by The Knight. We are pleased to once again announce our partnership for our 2025/2026 Community grants with High Neighbour.

They can offer the following support to Owners Corporations looking to strengthen their community:
Survey residents to understand their interests.
Plan events based on survey feedback.
Run activities throughout the year.
