End of year street parties have taken on added meaning in 2020 for Sydneysiders who have spent more time close to home because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Inner West Council issued more permits for road closures for street parties this year than last year, while Waverley Council had a flurry of applications after bringing its âstreet play gatheringâ initiative out of hiatus a few weeks ago.
