We advocate for you

Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter. This is an essential role of local government.

We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.

We are calling for Federal Government support for a number of priority projects ahead of this year’s Federal election.

This includes seeking funding support for seven major projects as well as a series of local sports infrastructure, road and footpath upgrades in Manningham.  

Aquarena outdoor redevelopment

Aquarena is Manningham’s sole aquatic centre, the outdoor area (built in 1960s) is a much-loved space, however, is at the end of its lifespan and requires a total refresh.

This facility serves the entire municipality, receiving 1.14 million visits annually, and without this redevelopment, Manningham Council will struggle to accommodate the growing demands of the community and the delivery of essential health and wellbeing outcomes effectively.

High Frequency Busway

Manningham is the only municipality in metropolitan Melbourne without train or tram, making buses the only form of public transport for our residents.

Manningham Council has continuously advocated for a High Frequency Busway link along Doncaster Road corridor from Mitcham Station to the CBD.

5 Ways intersection safety improvements

Our community continue to raise concerns regarding the safety of the intersection at Ringwood-Warrandyte Road, Croydon Road, Husseys Lane and Brumbys Lane in Warrandyte South (commonly known as ‘5-ways’).

Manningham Council has been advocating to the State Government and directly to the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) for multiple years seeking help to fix this serious safety issue.

The North East Link project

There has been concern from the community over instances of noise and dust that have not triggered intervention.

We have been advocating for filters to be installed within the ventilation stack since 2019 through the Environmental Effects Statement (EES) Hearings.

Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre

The Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre is a highly successful service, engaging over 1200 individuals each week. The development of a new community house was identified as a high priority in Council’s Community Infrastructure Plan.

Neighbourhood/community houses are a shared responsibility with the State Government. Manningham Council has already demonstrated its commitment to this new building by purchasing the land for a new community house.

What we are asking for

Council calls on the Federal and State Government for significant funding.

Community legal services

There is no dedicated community legal service located in Manningham. 

Manningham has a high percentage of overseas born residents (44%) and an increasing number of very low-income residents (25%). These factors indicate that our population has a range of vulnerabilities and needs for a legal service that provides free or low-cost assistance in a service that caters for cultural and linguistic diversity.

Open space upgrades

Manningham’s open space network is facing increasing pressure from increased population density, major projects such as the North East Link, loss of private open space and tree canopy cover, climate change and increased demand for recreation facilities . Population forecasts an increase from 133,00 today to 149,000 by 2036, which will exacerbate the pressure on our open spaces.

Jumping Creek Road in Wonga Park

Jumping Creek Road Wonga Park is in a unique and environmentally sensitive area. The road is being upgraded to improve safety for all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, whilst also protecting our wildlife and vegetation.

The works are expected to cost up to $21 million over the project life. This is a significant burden for the Manningham community, and we seek contributions from all levels of government to enable this project to proceed.

In a Dementia-Friendly Community, people committed to making change come together. They create a more inclusive, supportive and welcoming place where everyone can thrive. 

People living with dementia are at the heart of all dementia-friendly communities, sharing their experiences to help create an inclusive community for all. You can be an individual, a group, a business or organisation, anyone can make a difference. 

Each Dementia-Friendly Community is unique, they may include social, sporting, recreational, faith-based or community groups. However, what they all share is that they engage with people living with dementia to understand their needs to create inclusive and supportive environments.

Encouraging inclusive employment
… looking for a job Disability Advisory Committee Assistance and Support … Encouraging inclusive employment …

Employment outcomes for people with disabilities is a priority for all levels of Government. Victorian councils have a key role to play and a significant opportunity to ensure their workforce and community reflects and represents people with a disability. Within Manningham, several key Council strategies — including our Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2021-2025 and Economic Development Strategy 2011-2030 — we aim to address economic participation and create an inclusive community.

 

Inclusive employment for employers

There are many recognised benefits to employing a person with a disability. Employees with a disability are likely to bring new skills and valuable perspectives to a business. Employees with disability can help businesses understand what their customers with disability need, and this makes them more competitive.

 

Recruiting a person with a disability

It is important to be aware of making assumptions about a person’s ability to perform a job on the basis of diagnosis or disability – whether it is visible or hidden.

Some employers have little experience in employing people with a disability and are concerned they might ask the wrong questions. An employer can reasonably ask questions about the impact of a person’s disability if it relates to how the person would perform the ‘inherent requirements’ of the job and to work out if workplace adjustments or support might be needed. To identify the inherent requirements of the job, focus on the end result of the work you need done rather than how you usually do it.

Employing people with a disability should not cost any more than employing people without disability. Employers may be eligible for funding to cover the costs of workplace adjustments or other financial assistance. Employers may also be able to access on the job training and support to assist employees with a disability learn the job and/or maintain their job.

 

Inclusive employment for employees

Having a job is one of the most significant roles in most people's lives. It provides economic security, self-esteem, friends, and ongoing learning and development.

Inclusive employment means working in a typical and socially-valued job alongside other people in the community. It means fair pay for your work. It also means getting the support you need, reasonable adjustments in the workplace and equipment to help you do your work. Jobs come in many different shapes and sizes. The important thing is to find the right match between you and the job, including your interests and strengths, and your plans for the future.

The video below is designed to educate, inform and inspire people with a disability, their families, service providers and the broader community that people with disabilities can lead socially inclusive, meaningful lifestyles as valued contributors to their local communities.

This digital story is a Manningham City Council Metro Access Program Project supported by the Victorian State Government produced by Belonging Matters.

What is an accessible parking permit?

Formerly called a disabled parking permit, an Accessible Parking Permit (APP) is for drivers or passengers with a disability. It's also for organisations helping transport people with disabilities.

The Victorian Government introduced the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme to help make a simpler and more consistent process.

All councils across the state will use the same application process. This aligns with the Australian Disability Parking Permit Scheme.
 

What improvements have been made to the process?

  • temporary permits will be available for six, 12 or 24 month periods

  • permanent permits will be valid for five years rather than three years

  • the introduction of a permanent disability classification, so functional assessments aren’t required for future permit renewals

  • a single and secure state wide permit design that will reduce permit misuse

  • the inclusion of occupational therapists as assessors and GPs

  • permits for organisations will continue to be available for 12 month period.
     

Which types of permits can you apply for? 

There are two types of permits available:

  • Australian disability parking permit (ADP) - allows you to park in:

    • an accessible parking bay for the specified time limit. 

    • a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.

  • Victorian double time accessible parking permit – allows you to park in:

    • a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.  

A GP or occupational therapist functional assessment will decide on whether to issue a permit and the permit type.

Reconciliation Manningham Group

Reconciliation Manningham is a small, committed group working to advance reconciliation through partnerships between Aboriginal people, Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council, Manningham Council and the local community.

The group aims to preserve, protect and promote respect for, and pride in our Australian Aboriginal culture and heritage. They achieve this through offering a host of activities, programs, events and services that directly involve, support and include Aboriginal people.

Through Heritage Week, Reconciliation Week and other key times throughout the year, the group leads local Indigenous heritage walks and history presentations, and are also available to present indigenous history education within local schools. Fascinating information about local sites of significance and the process of reconciliation is presented on their website. New members are welcome.

Calling all people from multicultural backgrounds in Manningham and surrounds!

Come and learn more about the importance of looking after your mental health and wellbeing, and the support that is available in your local community.

Our next Strength Through Connection event is a forum on Mental Health and Multicultural Communities as part of national Mental Health Week.

This event will feature:

  • specialists in multicultural mental health
  • a panel of experts
  • local mental health and wellbeing service providers
  • plus the launch of Manningham Council's mental health services webpage by Mayor Michelle Kleinert

Mental health is a key component of overall health and well-being. 1 in 5 (21.4 per cent) Australians aged 16 to 85 have experienced a mental disorder in the past 12 months.

Many people may not be aware of what poor mental health means, how to support someone or how they can get help. The individual needs, backgrounds and identities of people can impact how, or even whether, they will seek support.

We will have a broad range of speakers who will provide information about:

  • types of mental health issues
  • stories of lived experience
  • what treatments are available
  • how can you support someone
  • how to get help
  • hope for recovery

We look forward to seeing you there!
