This year’s event will be hosted by star performer Lucy Durack (above) and local Carols favourite Richard Thomas. They will be joined on stage by a huge line up of local and national artists, with a special guest appearance by Santa himself.
Lucy Durack is one of Australia’s most well-known leading ladies, with major roles in productions including Wicked, Shrek the Musical, Legally Blonde and Midnight the Musical as well as TV series The Letdown, Sisters, A Perfect Pairing and Doctor Doctor. She’s been a judge on Australia’s Got Talent and performed on The Masked Singer.
“I can’t wait to see you at Manningham Carols by Candlelight,” Lucy said.
Richard Thomas has been entertaining audiences for more than 25 years. His musical theatre credits include Mame, Sweet Charity, Follies, The Secret Garden, Les Miserables, Chicago, Rebecca, The Producers, The Phantom of the Opera and Mary Poppins.
The evening will start at 6:00pm with pre-show entertainment on stage and activities for the kids. The main event kicks off at 7:15pm, ending with a spectacular fireworks display at 9:30pm. Bring a picnic, or enjoy delicious food from one of the food trucks on site.

Ronald Reserve Playground provides play and picnic opportunities in a landscaped setting for children of all ages. Young children can perform on the ‘Once Upon A Time’ story stage with its squeaky stepper seats or exchange a book at the Little Free Library. For some active play there are swings, a junior slide, a climbing net and a balance walk along logs, rocks and beams.
Within walking distance (250 metres away) to Bulleen Plaza and the Bulleen Library, this reserve is the perfect place to relax after shopping or read a book in the storytime area.
Places and spaces
- Storytime area including a storytime chair/stage, tyre steppers and a free little library box for sharing books and produce
- Play equipment such as a swing set, combination climber and refurbished junior play unit
- Landscaping including logs and rocks for climbing, balancing and nature play opportunities
- Retained grassed open space area for picnics and ball games
- Additional trees
- Seat and picnic table area for resting and socialising
- Concrete entry path, signage and grassed swale for stormwater run off
Fun fact: The storytime chair/stage was made from a 100 year old pine tree that was felled by a storm in the early 1980s and rescued from becoming firewood to become the story time chair and stage it is today.
Take a book or share a book and produce - the free little library was designed by local residents and made by Kiwanis Club of Manningham for all to enjoy. The library sits on top of a Melaleuca stump that had fallen in the reserve.

A safe and secure home is the foundation for a healthy life, education, and connection to community. Right now we are seeing more people in Manningham facing housing stress and homelessness.
National Homelessness Week runs from 4 to 10 August and is an opportunity to raise awareness of the practical steps to address homelessness in our community.
Homelessness doesn’t discriminate — it can affect anyone. Rising housing costs mean some people are forced to choose between rent and food. We're also seeing a growing need for food relief and emergency support services locally.
If you or someone you know needs help, our Manningham Wellbeing Support Card connects you with local services that can provide support. Hard copies of these are available at community venues including Council facilities, libraries community centres, neighbourhood houses, sporting and social clubs.
Let’s work together to make our community a place where everyone has a home.
Our website provides an online resource directory of local crisis support services, including homelessness and crisis accommodation, emergency food relief, family violence support and wellbeing services.
This National Homelessness Week, we’re joining other councils and community organisations to highlight how we’re working together to support people doing it tough.
Want to learn more? Join us for the webinar More than Shelter on Thursday 7 August at 12:30pm, where we’ll explore the support services that offer safety and dignity to people experiencing homelessness.

This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.
Manningham Art Gallery presents two exhibitions of tactile, abstract works that recontextualise commonly encountered materials, celebrating the everyday and unpredictable process driven experimentation.
Anni Hagberg’s Trace Encounters employs foraging practices, ceramic processes, and experimental installation to explore uncertainty as a contemporary human condition.
Rejecting linear understandings of progress, foraging practices embody a sense of agnostic curiosity. Opportunistically engaging materials, which present themselves within the environment through the process of being discarded by one and found by another, foraging encourages lively interaction with the environment.
Rhys Cousins work homes in on otherwise ordinary and ignored surfaces that one might expect to encounter on any given day. It acknowledges life as complex sensory jigsaw, but deliberately strips away the smells, sounds, language, and colour of that puzzle to explore only touch and the external physical qualities of the myriad materials that make up the urban places we live.
Examining the importance of touch as a physical and emotional experience - helping us to make sense of the world, the work also highlights how texture is made as much through presence as absence, with the solid bumps and ridges in a surface playing as great a role in creating its overall texture as its voids, crevices, nooks, and cracks.
Cousins and Hagberg’s works are activated across Gallery 1 and 2.

… Community batteries coming to Manningham We’re installing 3 new community batteries to … and Sustainability … Community batteries coming to Manningham …
Article Content
We’re installing 3 new community batteries to capture and store renewable energy, so we can power our facilities more sustainably.
This is one step towards our goal of achieving zero emissions for Manningham Council by 2028 and for our community by 2035.
Community battery benefits
These batteries – at Mullum Mullum Stadium, MC Square and Manningham Council Depot – will deliver:
- lower emissions
- a more stable grid
- backup power to the site during an outage
How do community batteries work?
Community batteries store extra solar power from that site and release it when demand is high.
This keeps the grid reliable, which will become increasingly important as more renewable energy powers our community.
When will construction begin?
Construction will begin in October 2025, with all 3 batteries switched on by March 2026.
How will this impact me?
Compact and quiet, these batteries won’t disrupt your power supply or services.
Victorian Government funding
The battery at Mullum Mullum Stadium is made possible thanks to State Government funding, as part of the 100 Neighbourhood Batteries Program.
Learn more
Join our free information session in March 2026 to learn how these batteries work, why they matter and how you can be part of the clean energy future. Details coming soon.
