Find out more about Manningham’s Climate Emergency Response Plan (CERP). ...
Through increased climate action, we aim to enhance the liveability of Manningham, promote community health and wellbeing, and boost the resilience of our natural and built environments, as well as the economy.
Climate emergency resolution
In October 2021, Manningham Council unanimously adopted climate mitigation targets. These targets are:
- net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2028 for Council operations
- net zero emissions by 2035 for the Manningham community.
The climate emergency resolution and the net zero targets empower us to enhance climate action. Community feedback enabled a shared commitment with Council to respond to climate change with decisive action.
Climate Emergency Response Plan
Climate change is the defining issue of our time. That’s why we're pursuing ambitious but achievable goals of our own as part of our climate emergency response.
Focus areas:
- improved public transport and car share services
- more electric vehicle charging infrastructure
- conversion to energy efficient LED streetlights
- more rooftop solar
- household and building energy saving measures
- diverting food and garden organics (FOGO) waste away from landfill
- incentives to recycle and repurpose materials
- preserving and strengthening local biodiversity and bushland
- continuing community education and awareness raising through workshops, events and activities.
What we’re doing
We’re adopting a diverse approach to tackling climate change and its effects. We know a challenge like this requires action on several fronts.
We developed the Climate Emergency Response Plan, our blueprint to address the impacts from climate change for our community. Each year we will publish a Climate Implementation Plan Update to ensure transparency with our community in actions to meet the set targets.
Our key actions include:
Sustainable transport
We've introduced a pilot car share service at Doncaster Hill. We've transitioned more than 60 per cent of our fleet to low emission vehicles. We're increasing the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in our fleet and we've begun electrifying our plant equipment, including:
- a fully electric heavy vehicle
- electric mowers
- gardening equipment such as blowers and hedgers.
We're expanding our EV charging infrastructure, including 14 chargers for Council vehicles and a network of public EV chargers.
Sustainable energy
- a program to convert all streetlights to energy efficient lighting
- transferring all our electricity to renewable power (at lower than business as usual costs)
- rollout of solar and battery storage program (10 buildings per year)
- supporting the Solar Savers Program, an incentive and education program for residents to convert to all-electric homes.
Nature and greening our suburbs
- planting 2000 street trees each year
- maintaining streetscapes and reserves
- preserving and strengthening local biodiversity and bushland reserves.
Community education
We run monthly biodiversity walks and produce a monthly What's On e-newsletter. We run webinars and workshops to educate and raise awareness on the circular economy, climate and biodiversity, including:
- Inspired Living Series
- Spring Outdoors
- Electrify your home
- Clothes swap days
- Detox your home.

PEP Productions presents this heart-warming tale from playwright Daniel Keene. ...
If you don’t know who you are and you don’t know where you’re headed, you might find yourself spiraling in ever-tightening circles until you come to rest in a nondescript part of town in a crummy two-star hotel, where the service is churlish, the lift doesn’t work, the toast is burnt and the pot plants set off your allergies.
But keep your expectations low, really low, and, who knows? – you might be pleasantly surprised by how everything works out.
Life without Me, by the much-awarded playwright, Daniel Keene, is a funny, honest and heart-warming story that invites us to question life, or at least our own. A mix of drifters, set in a hotel lobby, capturing the emotional truth of the almost absurd characters in search of the concept of happiness.
Presented by PEP Productions.

Templestowe Bowling Club President, Eric Virgona said the raffle is a fantastic initiative.
“Templestowe Bowling Club is proud to partner with Manningham Council and be part of the Monster Community Raffle. It’s an initiative that brings real joy and value across our community,” Mr Virgona said.
“Having the chance to hand out prizes personally, I see firsthand the excitement and gratitude from the winners. At the same time, it’s incredibly rewarding to know that local organisations like ours have raised funds to support our clubs and programs.
“This raffle is a reminder that when community comes together, everyone wins!”
