This year, Manningham residents have raised more than $20,000 for local schools, clubs and community groups with the support of the Manningham Monster Community Raffle.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange, acknowledged the community effort, and the key role the community plays in fundraising.
"Thank you to our amazing community for your generous support! Because of you, $15,000 will go directly to the groups who participated and $5,000 will support the Manningham Charitable Fund. Your contributions make a big difference." Cr Lange said.
For every ticket sold for $2.00, groups receive $1.50 and the remaining 50 cents is donated to the Manningham Community Fund.
With a prize pool of $10,000 including five $1,000 Coles/Myer gift vouchers, and one $5,000 Coles/Myer gift voucher, the Monster Raffle prize draw was held on Wednesday 17 July.
Manningham residents, Alex and Adeline, were the lucky winners of a $1,000 Coles/Myer voucher.
The couple purchased tickets supporting both Milgate Primary School and 1st Templestowe Scout Group.
“We often participate in fundraising and buy tickets not thinking we are going to win, but so the money can go a good cause.” Alex said.
“My son attends 1st Templestowe Scout Group, and the leaders at the club always work so hard to give the kids a good experience, and Milgate Primary has also been a huge part of our lives with our two children going to school there, receiving such a quality education.
“We’re incredibly thankful for this win!” Alex said.
The Monster Community Raffle is held annually and will open again in April 2025.
“For 19 years, our raffle has been a cornerstone of community spirit. Together, we’ve made a significant impact, and we look forward to many more years of making a difference,” Cr Lange said.
“We are deeply grateful to our raffle partner, the Templestowe Bowling Club, whose support has been key to its success.”
The Manningham Community Fund supports community initiatives including homelessness and affordable housing, education and employment, diversity, inclusion, sustainability, and wellbeing programs throughout Manningham.
A full list of raffle winners is available on the Monster Community Raffle website.

What will the panel deliberate on?
Council endorsed the following remit for the Manningham Community Panel at its 25 June 2024 meeting.
Council has a budget of $147m, but we can’t do everything and need to make hard choices. We need to know what services you value most to help us create a new Council Plan, Asset Plan and Financial Plan to guide Council activity for the next four years to align with the Community Vision. It will inform what the community pays and gets in return.
What range and level of services are you prepared to pay for?
Submit your ideas about what the panel should consider as they work together to answer this question.
This consultation closes Thursday 19 September at 11.59pm.

… Manningham's 10 Year Financial Plan ensures we deliver on the …
Our 10 Year Financial Plan 2024/25 to 2033/34 provides a financial road map for the future. Adopted at the 25 June 2024 Council Meeting, the 10 Year Financial Plan ensures we deliver on the Council Plan and continue to be a financially sustainable organisation.
Highlights of the 10 Year Financial Plan
- Provides the long-term financial resourcing for the future to build a better Manningham.
- Provision of funding to deliver on a range of key strategies and initiatives such as community health and wellbeing, our parks and public spaces, road maintenance and footpaths, the environment and waste and storm water management, support for local businesses including the introduction of a co-working business hub, a youth hub, and increased community grant funding to support community led initiatives.
- We will deliver on our Climate Emergency Action Plan to reduce the impacts of climate change. We have allocated $11 million in our capital works program over the next ten years for Circular Economy (Sustainability) initiatives.
- A commitment of $1.69 billion of operational expenditure over 10 years (an average of $169 million per annum) to deliver more than 100 services for our community.
- The delivery of a 10 year Capital Works Program of $549 million (an average of $55 million per annum) to renew and enhance Council’s $2.7 billion of community assets. This program focuses on core infrastructure such as footpaths, drainage, roads and open space and will enhance the liveability and amenity of our municipality.
- The Capital Works Program is in addition to the $247 million over 10 years (an average of $25 million per annum) to maintain our important community assets included in our operating budget.
- A significant allocation of funding in the Capital Works Program for major projects including the construction of major community and recreational facilities. These projects will be funded primarily from Council’s Strategic Fund.
- Average forecast general rate increases in line with the State Government’s rate cap/forecast CPI.
- Despite the challenging economic environment, we have continued to focus on ongoing financial sustainability through innovation and efficiencies, and containment of expenditure at less than inflation. We are also seeking alternative sources of income to reduce the dependence on rate income, such as ensuring that we strategically unlock the potential of our assets to enhance our financial sustainability.
Strategic Property Portfolio
The Strategic Property Portfolio (SPP) makes up part of the 10 Year Financial Plan by contributing to Council’s vision of being a financially sustainable organisation. Adopted at the 25 October 2022 Council Meeting, the Strategic Property Portfolio intention is to acquire property that will strategically enhance opportunities for development and community enhancement.
The SPP vision and principal:
The Strategic Property Portfolio will provide the City of Manningham with an additional funding source to enhance services and associated infrastructure for the benefit of the community.
Contribute to an alternative income stream to achieve Council’s mission to be a financially sustainable Council.

The Manningham Community Panel’s deliberations have begun, with local voices steering the way to a thriving future for Manningham.
Through a series of externally facilitated discussions and learning sessions, panel members will deliberate for over 40 hours. They will determine key priorities for the community and provide a list of recommendations to Manningham Council.
This dynamic and community-driven process will play a crucial role in ensuring that Council’s strategic plans reflect local needs, values and aspirations.
The panel recruitment started with 8,000 envelopes sent randomly to local households. Of those who accepted the invitation, a second random draw resulted in the final 40 individuals chosen.
This second draw was stratified to ensure people selected were representative of Manningham by age, gender, location, living situation and the language spoken at home.
Residents, businesses and community organisations have also contributed to the panel’s work in several ways.
In the Plan Manningham 2025+ survey (between May and July 2024), community provided their top three priority areas for Council to focus its resources for the next four years.
Council also hosted a series of ‘Targeted conversations’. These small group discussions invited people with similar backgrounds or interests together to discuss detailed information around topics that affect their needs and priorities.
Community could also share ideas on how to improve Council services through ‘Individual submissions’.
Council has committed to an open, transparent and rigorous process that puts community interests at the forefront. Community are invited to listen and watch the deliberations.
You can register to be an Observer for any of the panel sessions. Each registration segment is 90 minutes. Registration will ensure you get a spot, however you can also register upon arrival.
The final four panel sessions will be held between November 2024 and February 2025.
