市长致辞

养育一个孩子需要整个社区的支持,同样地,提升和支持居民的福祉也需要社区的共同努力。

回顾过去一年担任市长的经历,我由衷地为 Manningham 市议会和广大的本地社区组织之间紧密的合作感到由衷的自豪。

最近,我有幸为位于 Templestowe Lower 社区 Macedon Square 的新商店 Doncare Op Shop 开业剪彩。最让我印象深刻的是,有如此多的社区团体和商业组织齐心协力地促成了这一项目。

作为市议会,我们往往扮演着纽带的角色,将各类合作伙伴紧密地联系在一起。

我们的 2025-2029 年市议会计划是与社区合作制定的,体现了我们以诚信和透明的方式服务 Manningham 的承诺。我们得到了社区的信任,做出基于证据的决策,同时我们也与超过 25 个合作伙伴组织协同工作,包括 Access Health 、维多利亚州警察局(Victoria Police),以及 Neighbourhood Houses 和 community transport services 等机构。

我们市议会计划的五大主题——安全健康的社区、宜居的场所和空间、可持续的环境、繁荣的经济,以及治理良好和创新的议会——都有赖于这种协作模式。

我们的资助计划则是实现这些目标的另一种途径。

更新后的“社区伙伴关系资助类别(Community Partnership Grants Category)”将支持更长期的社区发展项目。符合条件的非营利或社区组织可以在四年内,通过以下三个类别获得资助:

  • 社区发展——开发关键服务、项目和其他计划,以满足我们多元化社区的需求 
  • 小型社区活动——吸引人们来到 Manningham 的活动 
  • 大型社区活动——吸引至少8,000名参与者的活动。

所有资助类别都将以心理健康和福祉、积极生活、社区参与,以及营造一个热情且包容的社区为优先。更多信息,请参阅 manningham.vic.gov.au/community-grant-program

随着我在11月结束市长任期,我想对再次担任这一职务的机会表示衷心的感谢。

我将永远为曾经担任 Manningham 市长而感到自豪。感谢大家让我有幸与你们同行。

谨启

Deirdre Diamante 议员

市长

Manningham Girls Can——一起动起来!

作为 Manningham Girls Can 的一部分,我们鼓励妇女和女孩们在今年11月以各种方式积极地参与到运动中。

我们支持开展为期一个月的免费和低费用活动,以帮助妇女和女孩尝试新事物,建立自信。这一切都是为了让女性享受运动的乐趣——无论是散步、跳舞、踢球,还是以任何让自己感觉舒适的方式活动身体。

该计划是在之前的全州范围的“This Girl Can”项目的基础上推出的,旨在鼓励不同年龄、背景和健康水平的妇女和女孩积极参与运动。

Bulleen Boomers 篮球俱乐部也参与了今年的计划,为各个年龄段的女性和女孩提供两场精彩的活动,但是需要进行报名。

步行篮球(Walking Basketball)
时间:11月6日星期四,上午10点至11点,活动后享用上午茶。

欢迎来尝试一次我们的步行篮球小组吧!每周四(学校学期期间)都有举行活动。

该小组的教练、俱乐部的社区篮球和项目负责人 Jen Hanrahan 表示,队中的女性成员已经一起训练了约三年。

Jen 表示:“这是一项适合所有人的活动项目,但对老年人或正在从病痛中恢复的人来说,尤其合适。”

她说:“这群非常了不起的女性来自各行各业,她们彼此建立了紧密的联系,互相支持。我们不是来打破纪录的,我们来这里是为了锻炼和享受乐趣的。”

该小组的年龄各不相同,有三位成员已经年逾八旬。89 岁的 Linda 说:“这是一个非常欢乐、没有评判的团体。我参加是为了锻炼身体和结识朋友。当我们年纪逐渐变大,社交非常重要。”

母女同乐齐运动
时间:11月23日星期日,下午 3点至4点。每人 10 澳元。

你喜欢看你的女儿、孙女或女性家庭成员打篮球吗?不要只是在场外欢呼,自己也来试一试吧!

欢迎加入曾出战300场比赛的澳大利亚女子全国篮球联赛球星 Kate Stacker 和 Boomers 俱乐部教练们,一起进行一场充满乐趣的全女性篮球活动。

市长致辞

 

随着我们不断发展壮大,始终坚守那些让我们的社区独具特色的价值观和理想至关重要。

我们的市议会遵循明确的路线图,即长期社区愿景和市议会计划。这些文件得到本地居民的支持,将指导我们采取行动,为 Manningham 实现更好的成就。您可以从第 4 页起阅读我们近期发布的战略文件系列详情。

这些战略文件指的是我们的四年计划文件系列,包括愿景、四年市议会计划、四年行动计划、十年财务计划以及 25/26 预算(该预算以四年为一个规划周期)。

自 2024 年 11 月新一届市议会成立以来,我们一直与社区、社区团体及工作人员紧密合作,共同制定了这些文件。

《2040 年社区愿景》由 Manningham 社区委员会编制,旨在反映社区共同的价值观、目标和对更美好未来的期许。

Manningham 是一个和谐、包容和安全的社区,致力于可持续增长、福祉和创新。我们庆祝社区的多元化和自然环境,同时打造一个联系紧密的社区,丰富所有居民的生活。

社区愿景中一个响亮的主题是庆祝多元化。这并不令人意外,毕竟这是我们社区备受推崇的品质之一,正是这种品质让我们的社区如此充满活力。当我们齐聚一堂,分享各自独特的视角、经历与背景时,我们就会共同编织出一幅思想与创新的绚丽画卷。

我相信每一种声音都重要,我们的社区是建立在善良、包容和尊重所有人的基础上的。通过接纳并庆祝我们之间的差异,我们营造了一个更加包容且富有韧性的社区。

社区讨论中另一个突出的主题是社区安全。Manningham 目前仍是一个安全的社区。然而,我们都目睹并听说了有越来越多令人不安的事件发生。

我们将继续与维多利亚州警察局及其他相关机构合作,以提升社区安全指数。同时,我们每个人在社区中也可以采取一些行动。

每一天,我们都有如此多互相关怀、热心行善的机会,我鼓励大家抓住这些机会。无论是探望邻居、散步时打个招呼、在商店里露出微笑,还是倾听他人心声或伸出援手。

让我们传播善意,共同打造一个更加光明、安全和充满关爱的社区,让每个人都能在这里茁壮成长——从每一个微小的善举开始。

谨启

Deirdre Diamante 议员

市长


共同建设未来

我们很高兴能为您介绍一系列新批准的计划,它们将为我们的社区在未来几年如何发展、适应和繁荣奠定基础。

这些计划包括 2025-2029 年市议会计划(包括健康与福祉计划)和 2025-26 年预算,以及十年财务计划、收入与评级计划和资产计划。

经过 2024 与 2025 年间广泛的社区讨论,这些文件反映了整个社区中居民的声音、关注重点和心愿。 

这项工作的核心是汇集了各方共同努力、参与审议的 Manningham 社区委员会 

37 名社区成员将在帮助确定 Manningham 的优先关注重点方面发挥至关重要的作用。

这项工作始于一个问题:您准备为哪些范围和程度的服务付费?

小组成员花了六个月,致力于了解我们提供的服务和我们面临的挑战。他们提出了广泛的建议,涵盖社区安全、交通、开放空间等主题,并提到了 Manningham 的《2040 年社区愿景》。

Manningham 是一个和谐、包容和安全的社区,致力于可持续增长、福祉和创新。我们庆祝社区的多元化和自然环境,同时打造一个联系紧密的社区,丰富所有居民的生活。——Manningham 社区委员会(2025)

该小组的建议已由市议会正式通过,我们承诺尽可能落实这些建议。

参与广泛的社区磋商为我们的战略规划和小组审议提供了信息,确保我们的计划建立在社区价值观和关注重点的基础上。

这次磋商包括去年的一项全社区调查。在此次调查中,我们听取了 1,260 名社区成员关于“什么对您来说最重要”以及“您认为市议会应该关注哪三个领域”的意见。我们还开展了一系列有针对性的对话,参与对话的关键群体和居民包括青年、长者、多元文化社区和合作伙伴。

许多社区成员还通过个人提议方式表达了自己的想法和建议。

您的见解使我们能够通过清晰、平衡的角度看到社区的需求,并为未来的这些重要计划提供了依据。

感谢每一位贡献者。我们都与计划息息相关。您的声音正在塑造我们社区的未来。

这些承诺对我们的社区来说是重大收获。我们期待与本地议员商讨有关这些计划的 
执行时间和责任。

我们将与联邦政府密切合作,交付其他对社区至关重要的关键项目。

其中一个项目是 Aquarena 户外重建。我们期待与 Menzies 选区的新议员合作,并希望联邦资金能在接下来的预算中到位,确保这一重要项目获得必要的支持,为我们的社区带来持久利益。

在竞选期间还筹集了用于升级位于 Park Orchards 的 Domeney Reserve 的资金。改善体育场照明将使得成长中的女队能够延长训练时间,持续不断发展。虽然目前尚无正式承诺,但需求迫切。我们将与我们的新联邦代表合作,明确并确保为社区提供这些重要升级所需的支持。

最后,我们将积极寻求与所有联邦议员对话,继续大力提倡与交通有关的项目,包括 Doncaster Road 沿线的高频巴士道(High Frequency Busway)可行性研究,并鼓励州政府作出于东北连接线(North East Link)项目相关的承诺。

我们是您的市议会,很荣幸代表您发声。

市长致辞

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

我们的市议会目前正在制定 2025/26 年度预算和 10 年财务计划。与此同时,我们正面临着重大挑战:支出转移、利用市议会费通知征收州税的问题日益严重。

您是否了解到,州政府正通过各种手段,将各项支出转嫁给市议会,再由此转嫁给您?

在发给您的年度市政费通知上,您会看到一些此类州税的身影。此类州税包括紧急服务税(旧称消防服务税)和垃圾填埋税。

作为市议会,我们并不制定此类费用或征税。然而,我们却受命将这些支出直接转嫁给您——本质上来说,我们不得不充当州政府的收税员。今年,我们将更改 2025/26 年度市政费通知的排版,一面列出市议会收取的费用,另一面则列出州政府征收的税款。

支出转移意味着州政府和其他政府机构将责任下放给市议会,却不提供足够的资金支持市议会履行责任。支出转移包括引入新的费用、计划或规定,或者将资产交移给市议会管理。

州政府要求市议会代表州政府提供重要的社区服务,却不提供足够的资金支持,以此达到支出转移的目的。这导致州政府每年少提供的资金多达数百万澳元。

例如,州政府提供的资金不足以支持当地学校的人行横道监督者,而这些资金能帮助学龄儿童安全过马路。我们在 VicRoads 拥有的 Manningham 主干道上履行草坪修剪、道旁维护的责任,而州政府提供的资金也不足以覆盖市政厅在这些工作上付出的成本。

我们的社区小组(Community Panel)建议减轻纳税人因州政府支出转移而面临的财务压力和负担。这将继续是我们市议会在下一个工作阶段中的重心。

在呼吁州政府增加财政支持的同时,我们也优先考虑长期财政可持续性,确保我们能够为子孙后代继续提供必要的服务和基础设施。

今年下半年,我们将与您分享市议会的 10 年财务计划,敬请期待。

谨启

Deirdre Diamante 议员

崭新游泳项目引人注目 

Manningham 首轮仅限女性参加的游泳班已在 Aquarena 水上运动和休闲中心(Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre)开展。

欢迎所有年龄、能力水平和文化背景的女性(包括自视为 LGBTQIA+ 社群一员的女性)参加该游泳班。同时也欢迎儿童(包括 6 周岁以下的男孩)前来参加。

该游泳班为女性提供了一个安全、私密和温馨的空间,供其享受室内游泳池和水疗中心。

社区组织 Serenity for Women 参与了该项目的启动。此组织的发言人表示,该项目将提供机会改善女性健康和福祉——为那些因文化背景或过往创伤(如家庭暴力)而处于封闭状态的女性消除隔阂。

“关键是给她们一个安全的空间,让她们感到舒适。在那里她们不必担心文化元素,而且这个地方离家近、不昂贵。”发言人说道。

Manningham 休闲经理 Shannon Mounsey 表示,人们对更包容的空间有着不断增长的需求。

“我们创造了一个女性可以茁壮成长、建立信心并与他人建立联系的空间,对此很自豪。”她说道。

游泳班将于每月的最后一个周日晚上 8:15 至晚上 10:00(中心正常时间关闭之后)开展。

现场将会由女性工作人员监督。临近的开展日期包括 4 月 27 日、5 月 25 日和 6 月 29 日,均为周日。无需预订。

多元文化游泳初学课程 

Aquarena 的全新安全水上运动(Safely Engaging with Water)项目致力于帮助来自多元文化社区的成人培养水上安全意识、提升基本游泳技能。

统计数据显示,多元文化社区人士溺水的概率更高。鉴于此趋势,该项目旨在帮助学员达到参与游泳项目的水准,并帮助学员克服对水的恐惧和焦虑。

该项目为期 10 周,在不同的时间段提供针对不同性别的课程,为初学者学习游泳提供了一个安全且包容的环境。

全国和解周,携手向前进 

全国和解周(5 月 27 日至 6 月 3 日)为所有澳大利亚人提供了了解各族共同历史、文化和成就,以及探索我们每个人可以如何促进实现和解的机会。

今年的主题是“连接现在与未来”(Bridging Now to Next),反映了过去、现在和未来之间的持续联系,并鼓励我们携手向前进。

在 Manningham,我们将继续执行和解行动计划(Reconciliation Action Plan)制定的行动,并朝着和解目标向下一阶段迈进。

探索文化遗产 

Manningham 之所以如此特别,是因为我们拥有独特的环境和美丽的绿地。几千年来,我们的传统领主 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人一直照看着这片土地。和解周期间,让我们来探索这片土地背后的丰富文化遗产吧。

Bolin Bolin 湖泊 

位于 Bulleen 的湖泊是 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人举行大型仪式的圣地。环绕湖泊的步道始于 Bulleen Park,沿着 Birrarung(Yarra River),穿过大型红河胶树林。

Manningham Art Gallery 的新展览旨在探索原住民艺术家与国家的联系。

展览《Painted Country》展示了五位原住民艺术家的作品:Nellie Ngampa Coulthard、Brenda Napaltjarri、Clara Napurrula、Rene Sundown 和 Adrian Jurra Tjungurrayi。

每位艺术家都描绘了国家的独特景象,捕捉了澳大利亚各地的光影变幻、本土植物、祖先故事和重要文化遗址。

特别感谢南澳大利亚州的 Iwantja Arts、北领地的 Papunya Tula Artists 等艺术家以及 Alcaston Gallery 共同举办本展览。

市长致辞

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

在我开始新一年的市长任期之际,我在此做出承诺,将致力于代表民众利益、倡导民心所向之事。

东北连接线计划(North East Link Program,NELP)对我们的社区产生了重大影响。随着 Manningham 的施工不断增加,我们的担忧也与日俱增。

NELP 于今年一月关闭了 Doncaster Park and Ride,以便腾出空间供未来重建。尽管我们已多次提出请求,州政府仍没有为受影响的乘客提供替代方案,我们对此感到失望。我们倡议提供更多的出行选择,以尽量减少对民众的干扰。更多信息请参见第 15 页。

虽然将该区域重建为一个现代化的交汇路口具有积极意义,但该设施目前的设计不足以应对未来日益增长的需求。我们已提交《Doncaster Park and Ride 城市设计景观规划》(Doncaster Park and Ride Urban Design Landscape Plan),并倡导以公共交通为导向、支持多种用途的开发,增加停车位,为人口增长留出空间。

我们还将继续向 NELP 提出民众对施工影响的担忧,包括噪音、灰尘、震动和干扰。

在我们的持续倡导下,NELP 将重建 Bulleen Park。该施工项目将于未来数月间动工,详情请参见第 15 页。此前,Powerful Owl Park 已于去年八月开放,该设施于我们与州政府协商后提供,以应对 NELP 对我们社区的影响。

我们很荣幸能代表市民处理各种问题。2025 年上半年的一项重要任务是制定市议会的四年计划,该计划将反映我们社区的需求和愿望。在此,我要感谢我们的社区小组(Community Panel)成员,感谢你们为社区未来发展方向付出的时间和做出的重要贡献。

我们十分重视社区意见。因此,如果您对我们的计划或倡议内容有任何想法或反馈,请与我或您的选区议员联系。

谨启

全新电动汽车充电站即将投入使用

A suburban carpark with colourfully painted parking bays with EV charging stations and a toilet block to the left.

2025 年年中起,我们将在 Manningham 新建 9 个公共电动汽车(EV)充电站,这将使 EV 的使用更加方便。

更令人惊喜的是,这些充电站将由政府认证的 GreenPower 公司供电,100% 使用可再生能源。

全新的公共 EV 充电站旨在满足日益增长的电动汽车使用和充电需求,这些增长在新的法定汽车标准出台后尤为显著。

此举也回应了 2023 年 Manningham 社区调查揭露的社区对本地公共充电设施支持的需求。

公共充电网络将有助于确保 EV 充电的便利性和实操性。

此举还将减少交通排放,通过增加停车场来促进本地商业发展,同时增强 EV 驾驶员的长途驾驶信心。

我们已与 JOLT Charge 和 Evie Networks 达成合作,在本地商业、娱乐和旅游景点提供公共 EV 充电器。

请访问 manningham.vic.gov.au/electric-vehicle-charging,查找离您最近的充电站地点。

市長致辭

養育一個孩子需要整個社區的支援,同樣地,提升和支持居民的福祉也需要社區的共同努力。

回顧過去一年擔任市長的經歷,我由衷地為 Manningham 市議會和廣大的本地社區組織之間緊密的合作感到由衷的自豪。

最近,我有幸為位於 Templestowe Lower 社區 Macedon Square 的新商店 Doncare Op Shop 開業剪綵。最讓我印象深刻的是,有如此多的社區團體和商業組織齊心協力地促成了這一專案。

作為市議會,我們往往扮演著紐帶的角色,將各類合作夥伴緊密地聯繫在一起。

我們的 2025-2029 年市議會計畫是與社區合作制定的,體現了我們以誠信和透明的方式服務 Manningham 的承諾。我們得到了社區的信任,做出基於證據的決策,同時我們也與超過 25 個合作夥伴組織協同工作,包括 Access Health 、維多利亞州警察局(Victoria Police),以及 Neighbourhood Houses 和 community transport services 等機構。

我們市議會計畫的五大主題——安全健康的社區、宜居的場所和空間、可持續的環境、繁榮的經濟,以及治理良好和創新的議會——都有賴於這種協作模式。

我們的資助計畫則是實現這些目標的另一種途徑。

更新後的「社區夥伴關係資助類別(Community Partnership Grants Category)」將支持更長期的社區發展項目。符合條件的非營利或社區組織可以在四年內,通過以下三個類別獲得資助:

  • 社區發展——開發關鍵服務、專案和其他計畫,以滿足我們多元化社區的需求 
  • 小型社區活動——吸引人們來到 Manningham 的活動 
  • 大型社區活動——吸引至少8,000名參與者的活動。

所有資助類別都將以心理健康和福祉、積極生活、社區參與,以及營造一個熱情且包容的社區為優先。更多資訊,請參閱 manningham.vic.gov.au/community-grant-program

隨著我在11月結束市長任期,我想對再次擔任這一職務的機會表示衷心的感謝。

我將永遠為曾經擔任 Manningham 市長而感到自豪。感謝大家讓我有幸與你們同行。

謹啟

Deirdre Diamante 議員

Manningham Girls Can——一起動起來!

作為 Manningham Girls Can 的一部分,我們鼓勵婦女和女孩們在今年11月以各種方式積極地參與到運動中。

我們支持開展為期一個月的免費和低費用活動,以幫助婦女和女孩嘗試新事物,建立自信。這一切都是為了讓女性享受運動的樂趣——無論是散步、跳舞、踢球,還是以任何讓自己感覺舒適的方式活動身體。

該計畫是在之前的全州範圍的「This Girl Can」項目的基礎上推出的,旨在鼓勵不同年齡、背景和健康水準的婦女和女孩積極參與運動。

Bulleen Boomers 籃球俱樂部也參與了今年的計畫,為各個年齡段的女性和女孩提供兩場精彩的活動,但是需要進行報名。

步行籃球(Walking Basketball)

Jen 表示:「這是一項適合所有人的活動項目,但對老年人或正在從病痛中恢復的人來說,尤其合適。」

她說:「這群非常了不起的女性來自各行各業,她們彼此建立了緊密的聯繫,互相支持。我們不是來打破紀錄的,我們來這裡是為了鍛煉和享受樂趣的。」

該小組的年齡各不相同,有三位成員已經年逾八旬。89 歲的 Linda 說:「這是一個非常歡樂、沒有評判的團體。我參加是為了鍛煉身體和結識朋友。當我們年紀逐漸變大,社交非常重要。」

母女同樂齊運動
時間:11月23日星期日,下午 3點至4點。每人 10 澳元。

你喜歡看你的女兒、孫女或女性家庭成員打籃球嗎?不要只是在場外歡呼,自己也來試一試吧!

市長致辭

 

隨著我們不斷發展壯大,始終堅守那些讓我們的社區獨具特色的價值觀和理想至關重要。

我們的市議會遵循明確的路線圖,即長期社區願景和市議會計畫。這些檔得到本地居民的支持,將指導我們採取行動,為 Manningham 實現更好的成就。您可以從第 4 頁起閱讀我們近期發佈的戰略檔系列詳情。

這些戰略檔指的是我們的四年計畫檔系列,包括願景、四年市議會計畫、四年行動計畫、十年財務計畫以及 25/26 預算(該預算以四年為一個規劃週期)。

自 2024 年 11 月新一屆市議會成立以來,我們一直與社區、社區團體及工作人員緊密合作,共同制定了這些檔。

《2040 年社區願景》由 Manningham 社區委員會編制,旨在反映社區共同的價值觀、目標和對更美好未來的期許。

Manningham 是一個和諧、包容和安全的社區,致力於可持續增長、福祉和創新。我們慶祝社區的多元化和自然環境,同時打造一個聯繫緊密的社區,豐富所有居民的生活。

社區願景中一個響亮的主題是慶祝多元化。這並不令人意外,畢竟這是我們社區備受推崇的品質之一,正是這種品質讓我們的社區如此充滿活力。當我們齊聚一堂,分享各自獨特的視角、經歷與背景時,我們就會共同編織出一幅思想與創新的絢麗畫卷。

我相信每一種聲音都重要,我們的社區是建立在善良、包容和尊重所有人的基礎上的。通過接納並慶祝我們之間的差異,我們營造了一個更加包容且富有韌性的社區。

社區討論中另一個突出的主題是社區安全。Manningham 目前仍是一個安全的社區。然而,我們都目睹並聽說了有越來越多令人不安的事件發生。

我們將繼續與維多利亞州警察局及其他相關機構合作,以提升社區安全指數。同時,我們每個人在社區中也可以採取一些行動。

每一天,我們都有如此多互相關懷、熱心行善的機會,我鼓勵大家抓住這些機會。無論是探望鄰居、散步時打個招呼、在商店裡露出微笑,還是傾聽他人心聲或伸出援手。

讓我們傳播善意,共同打造一個更加光明、安全和充滿關愛的社區,讓每個人都能在這裡茁壯成長——從每一個微小的善舉開始。

謹啟

共同建設未來

我們很高興能為您介紹一系列新批准的計畫,它們將為我們的社區在未來幾年如何發展、適應和繁榮奠定基礎。

這些計畫包括 2025-2029 年市議會計畫(包括健康與福祉計畫)和 2025-26 年預算,以及十年財務計畫、收入與評級計畫和資產計畫。

經過 2024 與 2025 年間廣泛的社區討論,這些檔反映了整個社區中居民的聲音、關注重點和心願。 

這項工作的核心是彙集了各方共同努力、參與審議的 Manningham 社區委員會 

37 名社區成員將在幫助確定 Manningham 的優先關注重點方面發揮至關重要的作用。

這項工作始於一個問題:您準備為哪些範圍和程度的服務付費?

小組成員花了六個月,致力於瞭解我們提供的服務和我們面臨的挑戰。他們提出了廣泛的建議,涵蓋社區安全、交通、開放空間等主題,並提到了 Manningham 的《2040 年社區願景》。

Manningham 是一個和諧、包容和安全的社區,致力於可持續增長、福祉和創新。我們慶祝社區的多元化和自然環境,同時打造一個聯繫緊密的社區,豐富所有居民的生活。——Manningham 社區委員會(2025)

該小組的建議已由市議會正式通過,我們承諾盡可能落實這些建議。

參與廣泛的社區磋商為我們的戰略規劃和小組審議提供了資訊,確保我們的計畫建立在社區價值觀和關注重點的基礎上。

這次磋商包括去年的一項全社區調查。在此次調查中,我們聽取了 1,260 名社區成員關於“什麼對您來說最重要”以及“您認為市議會應該關注哪三個領域”的意見。我們還開展了一系列有針對性的對話,參與對話的關鍵群體和居民包括青年、長者、多元文化社區和合作夥伴。

許多社區成員還通過個人提議方式表達了自己的想法和建議。

您的見解使我們能夠通過清晰、平衡的角度看到社區的需求,並為未來的這些重要計畫提供了依據。

感謝每一位貢獻者。我們都與計畫息息相關。您的聲音正在塑造我們社區的未來。

市長致辭 

本屆聯邦選舉結束了,我們迎來了今後三年將在國家層面代表我們社區的本地議員。我們期待與他們的合作。

本次選舉的結果意味著,在整個 Casey、Deakin 和 Menzies 聯邦選區,我們將同時看到新的議員和我們已經熟悉的議員來代表 Manningham。

祝賀 Casey 選區議員 Aaron Violi、Deakin 選區議員 Matt Gregg 和 Menzies 選區議員 Gabriel Ng。

在選舉之前,澳大利亞工黨對各項位於 Manningham 的計畫作出了承諾,包括:

  • 撥款 $25,000,000 用於改善 Warrandyte South 五路路口的安全
  • 撥款 $3,500,000 用於位於 Bulleen 的 Sheahans Reserve Stadium 設施重建
  • 撥款 $187,500 用於維修 Old Warrandyte Fire House
  • 撥款 $50,000 用於支持白馬商會舉辦的亞洲文化節。

這些承諾對我們的社區來說是重大收穫。我們期待與本地議員商討有關這些計畫的 
執行時間和責任。

我們將與聯邦政府密切合作,交付其他對社區至關重要的關鍵項目。

其中一個專案是 Aquarena 戶外重建。我們期待與 Menzies 選區的新議員合作,並希望聯邦資金能在接下來的預算中到位,確保這一重要項目獲得必要的支援,為我們的社區帶來持久利益。

在競選期間還籌集了用於升級位於 Park Orchards 的 Domeney Reserve 的資金。改善體育場照明將使得成長中的女隊能夠延長訓練時間,持續不斷發展。雖然目前尚無正式承諾,但需求迫切。我們將與我們的新聯邦代表合作,明確並確保為社區提供這些重要升級所需的支援。

最後,我們將積極尋求與所有聯邦議員對話,繼續大力提倡與交通有關的項目,包括 Doncaster Road 沿線的高頻巴士道(High Frequency Busway)可行性研究,並鼓勵州政府作出于東北連接線(North East Link)專案相關的承諾。

我們是您的市議會,很榮幸代表您發聲。

2025 年 4 月 - April 2025

市長致辭

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

我們的市議會目前正在制定 2025/26 年度預算和 10 年財務計畫。與此同時,我們正面臨著重大挑戰:支出轉移、利用市政費通知徵收州稅的問題日益嚴重。

您是否瞭解到,州政府正通過各種手段,將各項支出轉嫁給市議會,再由此轉嫁給您?

在發給您的年度市政費通知上,您會看到一些此類州稅的身影。此類州稅包括緊急服務稅(舊稱消防服務稅)和垃圾填埋稅。

作為市議會,我們並不制定此類費用或徵稅。然而,我們卻受命將這些支出直接轉嫁給您——本質上來說,我們不得不充當州政府的收稅員。今年,我們將更改 2025/26 年度市政費通知的排版,一面列出市議會收取的費用,另一面則列出州政府徵收的稅款。

支出轉移意味著州政府和其他政府機構將責任下放給市議會,卻不提供足夠的資金支援市議會履行責任。支出轉移包括引入新的費用、計畫或規定,或者將資產交移給市議會管理。

州政府要求市議會代表州政府提供重要的社區服務,卻不提供足夠的資金支持,以此達到支出轉移的目的。這導致州政府每年少提供的資金多達數百萬澳元。

例如,州政府提供的資金不足以用于支持當地學校的人行橫道監督者,而這些資金能幫助學齡兒童安全過馬路。我們在 VicRoads 擁有的 Manningham 主幹道上履行草坪修剪、道旁維護的責任,而州政府提供的資金也不足以覆蓋市政廳在這些工作上付出的成本。

我們的社區小組(Community Panel)建議減輕納稅人因州政府支出轉移而面臨的財務壓力和負擔。這將繼續是我們市議會在下一個工作階段中的重心。

在呼籲州政府增加財政支持的同時,我們也優先考慮長期財政可持續性,確保我們能夠為子孫後代繼續提供必要的服務和基礎設施。

今年下半年,我們將與您分享市議會的 10 年財務計畫,敬請期待。

謹啟

Deirdre Diamante 議員

嶄新游泳項目引人注目 

Manningham 首輪僅限女性參加的游泳班已在 Aquarena 水上運動和休閒中心(Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre)開展。

歡迎所有年齡、能力水準和文化背景的女性(包括自視為 LGBTQIA+ 社群一員的女性)參加該游泳班。同時也歡迎兒童(包括 6 周歲以下的男孩)前來參加。

該游泳班為女性提供了一個安全、私密和溫馨的空間,供其享受室內游泳池和水療中心。

社區組織 Serenity for Women 參與了該專案的啟動。此組織的發言人表示,該專案將提供機會改善女性健康和福祉——為那些因文化背景或過往創傷(如家庭暴力)而處於封閉狀態的女性消除隔閡。

“關鍵是給她們一個安全的空間,讓她們感到舒適。在那裡她們不必擔心文化元素,而且這個地方離家近、不昂貴。”發言人說道。

Manningham 康樂事務經理 Shannon Mounsey 表示,人們對更包容的空間有著不斷增長的需求。

“我們創造了一個女性可以茁壯成長、建立信心並與他人建立聯繫的空間,對此很自豪。”她說道。

游泳班將於每月的最後一個周日晚上 8:15 至晚上 10:00(中心正常時間關閉之後)開展。

現場將會由女性工作人員監督。臨近的開展日期包括 4 月 27 日、5 月 25 日和 6 月 29 日,均為周日。無需預訂。

多元文化游泳初學課程 

Aquarena 的全新安全水上運動(Safely Engaging with Water)項目致力於幫助來自多元文化社區的成人培養水上安全意識、提升基本游泳技能。

統計資料顯示,多元文化社區人士溺水的概率更高。鑒於此趨勢,該項目旨在幫助學員達到參與游泳項目的水準,並幫助學員克服對水的恐懼和焦慮。

該項目為期 10 周,在不同的時間段提供針對不同性別的課程,為初學者學習游泳提供了一個安全且包容的環境。

全國和解周,攜手向前進 

全國和解周(5 月 27 日至 6 月 3 日)為所有澳大利亞人提供了瞭解各族共同歷史、文化和成就,以及探索我們每個人可以如何促進實現和解的機會。

今年的主題是“連接現在與未來”(Bridging Now to Next),反映了過去、現在和未來之間的持續聯繫,並鼓勵我們攜手向前進。

在 Manningham,我們將繼續執行和解行動計畫(Reconciliation Action Plan)制定的行動,並朝著和解目標向下一階段邁進。

探索文化遺產 

Manningham 之所以如此特別,是因為我們擁有獨特的環境和美麗的綠地。幾千年來,我們的傳統領主 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人一直照看著這片土地。和解周期間,讓我們來探索這片土地背後的豐富文化遺產吧。

Bolin Bolin 湖泊 

位於 Bulleen 的湖泊是 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人舉行大型儀式的聖地。環繞湖泊的步道始於 Bulleen Park,沿著 Birrarung(Yarra River),穿過大型紅河膠樹林。

Bulleen Park, 175 Bulleen Road, Bulleen 

Currawong Bush Park

公園內有多條步道,能讓遊客進一步瞭解 Wurundjeri 以及本地獨有的棲息地和野生動物。

Reynolds Road, East Doncaster

Pound Bend Tunnel 保護區

Wurundjeri Stories 是一條迷人的招牌步道,提供解說,供遊客探索當地的 Wurundjeri 歷史。

Mount Lofty 步道 

這條 5 公里長的步行線路從 Wittons Reserve 出發,靠近被視為“聖女之國”(Sacred Women’s Country)的地區。遊客沿 Birrarung(Yarra River)前行,隨後登上 Mount Lofty 山頂欣賞壯麗景色。

藝術歌頌國家 

Manningham Art Gallery 的新展覽旨在探索原住民藝術家與國家的聯繫。

展覽《Painted Country》展示了五位原住民藝術家的作品:Nellie Ngampa Coulthard、Brenda Napaltjarri、Clara Napurrula、Rene Sundown 和 Adrian Jurra Tjungurrayi。

每位藝術家都描繪了國家的獨特景象,捕捉了澳大利亞各地的光影變幻、本土植物、祖先故事和重要文化遺址。

特別感謝南澳大利亞州的 Iwantja Arts、北領地的 Papunya Tula Artists 等藝術家以及 Alcaston Gallery 共同舉辦本展覽。

市長致辭

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

在我開始新一年的市長任期之際,我在此做出承諾,將致力於代表民眾利益、宣導民心所向之事。

東北連接線計畫(North East Link Program,NELP)對我們的社區產生了重大影響。隨著 Manningham 的施工不斷增加,我們的擔憂也與日俱增。

NELP 於今年一月關閉了 Doncaster Park and Ride,以便騰出空間供未來重建。儘管我們已多次提出請求,州政府仍沒有為受影響的乘客提供替代方案,我們對此感到失望。我們倡議提供更多的出行選擇,以儘量減少對民眾的干擾。更多資訊請參見第 15 頁。

雖然將該區域重建為一個現代化的交匯路口具有積極意義,但該設施目前的設計不足以應對未來日益增長的需求。我們已提交《Doncaster Park and Ride 城市設計景觀規劃》(Doncaster Park and Ride Urban Design Landscape Plan),並宣導以公共交通為導向、支援多種用途的開發,增加停車位,為人口增長留出空間。

我們還將繼續向 NELP 提出民眾對施工影響的擔憂,包括噪音、灰塵、震動和干擾。

在我們的持續宣導下,NELP 將重建 Bulleen Park。該施工專案將于未來數月間動工,詳情請參見第 15 頁。此前,Powerful Owl Park 已於去年八月開放,該設施於我們與州政府協商後提供,以應對 NELP 對我們社區的影響。

我們很榮幸能代表市民處理各種問題。2025 年上半年的一項重要任務是制定市議會的四年計畫,該計畫將反映我們社區的需求和願望。在此,我要感謝我們的社區小組(Community Panel)成員,感謝你們為社區未來發展方向付出的時間和做出的重要貢獻。

我們十分重視社區意見。因此,如果您對我們的計畫或倡議內容有任何想法或回饋,請與我或您的選區議員聯繫。

謹啟

全新電動汽車充電站即將投入使用

A suburban carpark with colourfully painted parking bays with EV charging stations and a toilet block to the left.

2025 年年中起,我們將在 Manningham 新建 9 個公共電動汽車(EV)充電站,這將使 EV 的使用更加方便。

更令人驚喜的是,這些充電站將由政府認證的 GreenPower 公司供電,100% 使用可再生能源。

全新的公共 EV 充電站旨在滿足日益增長的電動汽車使用和充電需求,這些增長在新的法定汽車標準出臺後尤為顯著。

此舉也回應了 2023 年 Manningham 社區調查揭露的社區對本地公共充電設施支持的需求。

公共充電網路將有助於確保 EV 充電的便利性和實操性。

此舉還將減少交通排放,通過增加停車場來促進本地商業發展,同時增強 EV 駕駛員的長途駕駛信心。

我們已與 JOLT Charge 和 Evie Networks 達成合作,在本地商業、娛樂和旅遊景點提供公共 EV 充電器。

請訪問 manningham.vic.gov.au/electric-vehicle-charging,查找離您最近的充電站地點。

A rail line to Doncaster

The Victorian Government's proposed underground rail link will connect suburbs from Cheltenham to Werribee.

The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) includes a Doncaster Station. However construction may be over ten years away.

map showing the proposed stations and route of the Suburban Rail Loop

We are advocating for the Doncaster Station footprint to be set aside as part of Stage 1, to allow for planning of the Doncaster Hill precinct. For an express bus service that mirrors the Suburban Rail Loop Alignment. Providing a public transport connection to key education, healthcare and employment precincts.

Congestion on the Eastern Freeway

Why do we need a rail line to Doncaster?

Over 125,000 people in our community will benefit from a Doncaster Station. Currently our only public transport option is an over-crowded bus network that is often delayed by traffic congestion.

With Doncaster Hill’s population and traffic continuing to grow, we are urging the Victorian Government to include a Doncaster Station in stage two of the SRL and secure a location for the train station now.

Manningham is the only municipality without a tram or train line.

Car ownership per household is considerably high and daily public transport use for employment purposes is below the metropolitan average.

Our bus system is buckling under pressure to provide enough services and meet capacity for our growing city.

A chalk sketch of a conceptualisation of Doncaster Hill station at MC Square

Doncaster Station not part of stage one construction

We are strongly advocating to the Victorian Government to include Doncaster Station in Stage two of the SRL.

We are working with stakeholders and the SRL Authority to secure a site location for the future train station.

What’s next?

We will continue to work with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority and the Department of Transport to advocate for improved public transport services to Manningham.

With the community's input, Victoria Street Playground has been upgraded to include new customised towers and slides, sand play features, extra water play areas and swings.

The playspace also features:

  • nature play areas

The inspiration behind Victoria Street’s play tower 

Did you know that the giant play tower at Victoria Street playground is inspired by Manningham’s historic Doncaster Tower? Built by Alfred Hummel in 1879 and located at the top of Doncaster Hill, Doncaster Tower became a popular lookout offering stunning panoramic views and attracting visitors from all over Melbourne. 

Although the tower was demolished in 1914, its legacy continues at Victoria Street playground. For more interesting information, including a scale model of the tower, stop by Schramm’s Cottage Museum, off Victoria Street in Rieschiecks Reserve.

State Government Planning Reforms

Victoria is undergoing transformative change, with the State Government’s release of a number of important planning reforms.

These changes will affect the way that Manningham grows and will have impacts on the character and liveability of our neighbourhoods.

We will continue to advocate to the State Government on the implications of these reforms. We’re urging the State Government to continue to consult with us as we work closely with our communities to ensure these reforms align with their needs.

 

Plan for Victoria

The State Government released its new statewide strategy, Plan for Victoria, on 28 February 2025.

The Plan for Victoria focuses on directing housing to activity centres close to stations and public transport. With updated planning controls, activity centres and priority precincts have been identified as the key places for the delivery of more homes.

The identified priority precincts are based around the Suburban Rail Loop precincts, including Box Hill and Burwood. The targeted activity centres are focused around the 60 identified activity centres that have both fixed rail and tram infrastructure.

It’s proposed that new planning controls will provide for taller buildings in the core of these centres and lower rise apartments within walking distance of the centre. None of these precincts or activity centres fall within Manningham.

The Plan Victoria is based around five pillars:

  1. Housing choice at an affordable price and close to daily needs. This includes the Activity Centre Program – planning for more homes in and around activity centres and the housing targets 
  2. Accessible jobs and Services
  3. Great Places, Suburbs and Towns
  4. Sustainable Environments
  5. Self Determination and Caring for Country

 

Housing targets

On 24 February 2025, the Minister released the final housing targets for each local government area within Victoria, for delivery over the next 30 years.
Following Council advocacy, Manningham’ s housing target has been reduced to 28,500 dwellings, from the original target of 39,000 dwellings.

This revised target will have implications on Manningham’s future residential growth strategy and the identification of areas for increased densities.

 

Manningham Residential Strategy

We’re currently preparing a draft Residential Strategy that will respond to this target.

The next stage of consultation on the draft strategy will focus on identifying how housing growth and diversity of housing types will be managed in the urban parts of the municipality.

Subscribe to receive project updates and stay informed about upcoming community engagement opportunities at Your Say Manningham.

 

Townhouse and Low-rise Code

On 25 February 2025, the Victorian Government announced a new Townhouse and Low-rise code to come into effect in all planning schemes.

These changes represent a significant departure to the standards for multi-unit development under ResCode, which have been in place for many years. In addition, where a development proposal is deemed to meet the Code, residents will still be able to lodge an objection to council, however, will be unable to appeal the matter in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

 

Activity Centre Program

On 27 February 2025, the Victorian Government announced the final 25 ‘train and tram zone’ locations to the Activity Centres Program.

This program is part of the Victorian Government Housing Statement reforms to provide capacity for 300,000 additional homes to 2051.

No additional activity centres within Manningham have been identified as part of this announcement.

We’re currently preparing detailed draft Activity Centre Design Guidelines to manage built form outcomes for residential development within our neighbourhood activity centres.

Subscribe to receive project updates and stay informed about upcoming community engagement opportunities at Your Say Manningham.

 

What happens from here

We expect that the implications of these reforms will become clearer in the coming months.

The changes will have direct impacts on a number of strategic projects being progressed by Council.

We’ll continue to keep you updated on any further changes announced by the State Government.
