Strengthening Community Connections through Partnership Events

There’s something special about a local shopping centre that feels more like a gathering place than just a place to shop. At Brickworks Marketplace, that spirit was on full display during the recent Coffee with a Cop event – a buzzing, engaging day that brought families and friends, and the South Australia Police together for a fun-filled morning on Monday 14 April.
With over 150 attendees, including dozens of excited children, the centre buzzed with energy and a real sense of connection. From meeting the iconic Police Greys and exploring a police car up close, to singing along with the South Australian Police Band, the event offered participants a unique opportunity to interact with the South Australian Police force in a family friendly environment.
Kids proudly crafted their own police badges, coloured in activity sheets, and chatted with local police heroes, while parents enjoyed a moment of calm with a free coffee from CIBO.
The event was huge success, fostering meaningful community connections and strengthening ties with the South Australia Police. These partnerships events help build trust, safety, and a shared sense of purpose.
“Our Police officers had a great time connecting with locals young and old on a personal level. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to listen firsthand to the issues that matter most to them, so we can continue working together to build a safer, stronger community, and strengthen the trust and confidence they place in their local police.” – Sergeant Michelle Hollis




Events like this don’t just bring smiles, they breathe life into the centre. Whilst the event contributed to increased foot traffic and time spent at the centre it also creates a reason for people to visit, stay, and return. And in today’s climate, where families are watching their spending more carefully, offering free, enriching school holiday activities is a valuable way to support local families.
At FRP Capital we remain focused on delivering initiatives that support both commercial outcomes and long-term community value across our portfolio. We’re excited to continue to build on the success of Coffee with a Cop and look forward to bringing more partnership events to the centre.
