The Men’s Table creates a unique environment for men to share openly about their lives with other men.

The Entree event is an introduction to The Men’s Table through open sharing over a relaxed and conversational meal.

It is a chance to meet other men, learn about how a Table works and help you decide whether you'd like to part of this local Men’s Table group.

The event will be hosted by two long standing members of other Men's Tables. They will share experiences from their Tables and respond to your questions, concerns and ideas.

The cost of the event includes a meal and a drink.

This event is proudly supported by Manningham's Community Grants Program.

About the Men's Table

There's never been a better time to get connected and be part of building community. It's healthy to show emotions and share feelings, and it is time we freed men from outdated masculine norms.

The Men’s Table creates a sense of belonging, community, peer support and camaraderie. These things are often lacking for many men, even for those who already have a group of mates.

Belonging to a Men’s Table contributes to mental, emotional and social wellbeing. It provides powerful support to individual member’s journeys through life.

Want tips on how to be your most stylish self in the most sustainable way? Award-winning eco stylist and educator, Nina Gbor of Eco Styles will share her restyling tips.

Learn how to stylishly (re)use the items in your closet to look and feel amazing with any size and on any budget, while reducing your carbon footprint and textile waste.
Nina will also talk about:

• how to find your personal style
• how to find preloved treasures in op shops and online

About the Men's Table

The Men’s Table creates a unique environment for men to share openly about their lives with other men.

The Men’s Table creates a sense of belonging, community, peer support and camaraderie that is lacking for many men, even for some who already have a group of mates.

The Men’s Table began in 2011 with 12 men who have met once a month for dinner and has since become a national charity and grown to 59 tables across Australia.

This evening will give you an insight into what it is like to be part of a Men’s Table and how it benefits the community as a whole. We’ll also provide details on how to join a Men’s Table for those men interested in joining.

Provide feedback on the improvements proposed as part of the Templestowe Route Upgrade. 

The upgrade, between Templestowe Road and Williamson Road (1.8 km), will enhance safety, pedestrian connectivity, and infrastructure quality.

In addition to road, footpath and drainage enhancements, we're proposing:

• two new roundabouts at the intersections of Atkinson and Milne streets. The roundabouts aim to prevent speeding, improve traffic flow and highlight the entrance to the Templestowe Village shops.
• To advocate for a reduced speed limit of 40km per hour between the roundabouts, to boost pedestrian and road safety.
• To advocate for a reduced speed limit to 50km/hour on the route. This will apply from Union Street to the Milne Road roundabout, and from Atkinson Street roundabout to Porter Street. It excludes areas where a 40km/hour speed limit has been proposed.
• To install pedestrian-operated signals at the intersection of Wood and Anderson streets so community members can access the shops more safely.

Drop in at this public consultation session, where you'll have the opportunity to:

• chat to our officers about the project
• review the proposed plans
• provide your feedback about the proposed changes

You can follow the project, have your say and help to improve the Templestowe Route by visiting Your Say Manningham.
