Manningham Council is offering community members the exciting opportunity to pitch their Budget ideas to Councillors.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange, said the new stage of consultation was inspired by an unprecedented response to Council’s initial Budget survey which was open over summer.
“It was fantastic to hear from more than 650 community members about how they would like the Council Budget spent across the next financial year,” Cr Lange said.
The results are in, with locals reporting the following top six priorities for Council spending (in order):
“We’re really keen to hear more about why you’re so passionate about these topics and your ideas for projects and services you would like to see delivered, in these areas, now and in the future.
“If you would like to pitch, please complete an expression of interest form on our Your Say Manningham website before Monday 4 March,” Cr Lange added.
Shortlisted in-person submitters will have three minutes each to present to Councillors at a meeting at the Manningham Function Centre on the evening of Monday 18 March.
Council will shortlist a maximum of six pitches from each of the six priority areas above to be presented and are looking for:
Pitching in person is optional and Councillors will still consider submissions from people who choose not to present or aren’t shortlisted.
“Applications are also open for our Community Grants Program so it may be worth considering whether your community group’s project is more suitable for funding through a community development, arts or festivals and events grant,” Cr Lange said.
The final 2024-25 Budget and 10 Year Financial Plan will be considered for endorsement by Council at its meeting on Tuesday 25 June 2024.
To express your interest in pitching or to learn more, visit Your Say Manningham.
Aloha Reserve comprises most of the Urban Miscellaneous (Reynolds Road), Biosite 35 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The large local park 7340m2 (0.75 ha) runs along a drainage line and is well established with mature, remnant vegetation.
The Reserve connects Reynolds Road to Aloha Gardens but due to lack of footpaths or bus stops along this section of Reynolds Road, there is little pedestrian traffic through the Reserve. This steep site should be managed primarily as a conservation site. Consideration could be given to seating.

Hermann Reserve provides conservation value, as part of the Porter Street, Biosite 35 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. This includes significant remnant Red Gum trees and additional Red Gums that have naturally regenerated in the vegetated parts of the Reserve. Further planting of Red Gums in some areas that are currently mown is supported.
The reserve provides pedestrian access between Hermann Court, Dora Court and Porter Street and an attractive green buffer in this residential area. There is a Melbourne Water main drain running through the reserve and a natural wetland area. The walking/ bicycle path along Porter Street has been upgraded.

Become a scientist this spring and help our scientific community record valuable information about Platypi in Manningham.
PlatypusSPOT is a citizen science platform that gathers information from the community on platypus occurrence. Locals know their area and we want to tap into your knowledge. PlatypusSPOT brings together all that valuable information in one publicly accessible website.
Platypus are difficult to study in the wild and we know very little about how platypus populations are faring. Platypus and their habitat are vulnerable to a variety of natural and man-made threats that are increasing with climate change and population growth. Understanding the distribution and occurrence of platypus is essential to develop effective conservation strategies with waterway managers.
To participate in this event, download the PlatypusSPOT app on your device.
