We’re reviewing Manningham’s Public Toilet Plan and seeking your feedback on local toilet facilities. The Public Toilet Plan is a 10-year plan to ensure a network of sustainable, safe, accessible and quality purpose-built facilities.
What’s been delivered so far?
Since the plan was endorsed in 2021, we’ve completed 12 new and upgraded public toilets across Manningham. We’re also on track to upgrade two more facilities by the end of the year at Mullum Mullum Trail and Cat Jump Reserve.
See what’s been delivered and what we are planning here.
Why are public toilets important?
Public toilets are essential for people to enjoy public spaces without feeling restricted. They help us socialise, exercise, play, learn and engage with the community. Well-placed facilities also support local business by encouraging visitors and residents to spend more time in the area.
Have your say
To share your thoughts and ideas, complete our short survey by Sunday 29 June.
Your feedback will help us create better public toilet facilities for everyone.

The Manningham Community Panel has reached a significant milestone, charting a course for the future after delivering its final recommendations to Council.
Manningham Mayor Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the Panel’s insights will be invaluable in ensuring that the Council’s strategic plans are grounded in the community's needs and aspirations.
“By listening to the voices of our community, we’re ensuring that our decisions and actions reflect and align with what matters most to our residents,” Cr Diamante said.
“The Panel has played a crucial role in this process, comprising members from diverse age groups, cultural backgrounds and geographic locations that represent the unique tapestry of our community.
“This collaborative approach will help enable us to create a more inclusive, resilient, sustainable and vibrant community for all.”
The Panel was established to identify Manningham's key priorities, challenges and opportunities – to help guide our strategic plans. This includes the Community Vision 2040, the four-year Council Plan, and the 10-year Asset and Financial Plans.
Throughout the process, Panel members deliberated for approximately 1,680 collective hours and heard from over 50 speakers from Council and community.
They handed over their recommendations at the final meeting on 1 February 2025. They span several themes including community safety, transport, open spaces and more.
“Over the coming weeks, we’ll prepare a response to each of the panel’s recommendations, including how they will be implemented or the reasons for not supporting any recommendation,” Cr Diamante said.
“We’re sincerely grateful to the panel members for their time and efforts during this dynamic process and committed to implementing the panel’s recommendations to the fullest extent possible. We’ll ensure their insights are carefully considered in all our decision-making as we plan ahead for Manningham,” the Mayor added.

At the 27 May Manningham Council Meeting, the draft Council Plan, draft 2025-26 Budget, draft 10 year financial plan and the draft Revenue and Rating Plan were tabled. These have been developed in line with Manningham's newly endorsed Community Vision 2040 to help shape the future of Manningham.
These draft strategic documents are now available on the Your Say Manningham website and will be presented for endorsement at the 30 June Council Meeting.
The draft Asset Plan 2025-2035 and the Council Plan Action Plan will be made available at an upcoming Council meeting.
The strategic documents are informed by extensive community engagement conducted throughout 2024-25.
At the heart of this work was the deliberative community panel – a collaborative effort that brought together 37 community members to play a crucial role in helping determine key priorities for Manningham.
Extensive community consultation informed both Council's strategic planning and the Community Panel’s deliberations, ensuring that the plans are grounded in the community's priorities, needs and aspirations.
This consultation included a community-wide survey last year, where 1,260 community members shared what matters most to them and which three areas they thought Council should focus on. Council also held a series of targeted conversations with key groups and residents including young people, older adults, multicultural communities and partners.
On top of that, many community members sent in their own ideas and suggestions through individual submissions, showing how Council services can improve to build a better future together.
These community insights provided Council with a strong and balanced view of the community's wants and needs. It directly shaped its strategic planning and the work of the Community Panel.
Given the depth and quality of feedback received during this process, a separate public submission process will not be held for this year’s strategic plans.
This approach is in line with Council's Community Engagement Policy as required by the Local Government Act.
