With COVID-19 hanging around like the party guest who won’t go home, it may be a good idea to start the new year by making friends, not enemies.
that will make the whole experience a lot more of a celebration and less of a confrontation for party hosts and their neighbours.know you are planning to hold a shindig and give them a mobile number to call if they have any problems.Even better, invite them to join you. They can’t complain about the noise if they are among the people making it.
If you are planning a barbecue as part of your festivities, clean it beforehand using detergent, hot water and elbow grease. “Burning off” the last barbie’s stinking fat might be a great Aussie tradition but that smoke and smell is going into your upstairs neighbours’ homes.Switch off or disconnect the sub-woofer bass speaker in your sound system, or adjust the settings on your amplifier to tone the bass down.
Or talk to your committee about renting visitor spaces to residents on a one-night-only basis, to pay for a security presence. You don’t want to be responsible for punch-ups when a rogue parker discovers their car has been blocked in by the resident whose space they stole. But the police aren’t going to come a-knocking on New Year’s Eve and remember, even fading celebrations get another boost of energy at midnight.
