Each year we check in with our residents to see how we're doing. We want to understand your views on what living in Manningham is like. The way we do this is through an independently conducted community satisfaction survey.
For these surveys, we reach out by phone to 400 of our residents. The results of the phone conversations are then analysed, reported back to us, and discussed internally.
This helps us to learn more about our performance across several areas. It also helps us to understand where changes and improvements are necessary.
You can find out how we are doing by reading the report below.

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.

All applications are reviewed and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
What is the cost?
Each permit application is $150.00 This is a non-refundable application fee.
Your responsibility and the law
The Domestic Animals Act 1994 places clear responsibilities on the owners of dogs and cats to ensure they are registered from three months of age and that they are securely confined to the owner’s property.
The Act also places a clear responsibility on the owner of an animal to ensure it does not create a nuisance to people or cause any harm. If you already own the animal, please ensure it is registered.
How to apply
-
Check to see how many animals you are allowed to keep on your property
View the table below to find out the type and number that can be kept under local laws.
-
Register your pet
If you already own the animal and it is a dog or cat, make sure it is registered.
-
Complete the application to keep additional animals
Download and complete the application form.
How many animals can be kept on a property?
The number of animals that can be kept on residential land without a permit has been revised and is now dependent on the size of the property and the zoning of the property. See new limits in the table below.
Check the below table to find out which animals you can keep on your property in Manningham. If the number is zero (0) you can not keep that animal.
All animals kept on residential land must be owned by the owner or occupier of that property.
| Pet or livestock | <499 s/mtrs | 500 to 1,199 s/mtrs | 1,200 to 2,499 s/mtrs | 2,500 to 4,999 s/mtrs | >5,000 s/mtrs | >10,000 s/mtrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

A permit under the Community Local Law is no longer required to keep domestic birds on residential land. However, all birds must be kept in an appropriate manner that does not cause nuisance or offence and are confined to property.
Animal housing
Animal housing must be adequate and appropriate based on the type and number of animals kept, kept in a clean condition and placed in an area which does not create a nuisance.
Animal containment
An owner or person in charge of an animal other than a dog or cat must ensure that the land used for keeping an animal or any structure for housing is:
- clean
- does not cause a nuisance to any other person
- is adequately fenced
- is kept free from rubbish or vegetation that could attract or harbour rats or vermin.
All animal food for consumption must be kept or stored in a vermin and fly proof container.
All animal waste must be removed so as not to be offensive or a nuisance to any other person.
Existing permits
Where a pet owner has an existing permit issued under the previous Local Law, this permit will remain in place on the land until the existing permit expires. Existing permits will be reviewed if there are concerns relating to nuisance.
What happens next?
Allow 10 business days for us to review your application and make contact with you.
An invoice will be issued to pay the permit application fee. No permit will be issued unless fee is paid.
When assessing applications, Council will consider:
- feedback from neighbouring properties.
- the impact the animals will have on amenity.
- the welfare of the animals.
- other Planning Scheme requirements.
- prior history associated with animal keeping.
An inspection of the land will occur to ensure the site is appropriate for the number of animals.
You will be advised if a permit is to be issued.
The permit will contain conditions which you will need to comply with.

Manningham Council property purchase sets the stage for new community house
Manningham Council has signed the contract to purchase 576-578 Park Road, Park Orchards as part of its planning for a new Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre.
A priority action in Council’s Community Infrastructure Plan, discussions and advocacy have already commenced for the replacement of this popular neighbourhood house and it is hoped that this significant investment by Council will be the catalyst for investment from other levels of government.
Manningham Mayor, Deirdre Diamante, said the existing community house needs replacing to bring programs and services together.
"The Community House is widely used and offers a variety of programs and services in learning, fitness and art for all ages, and includes a well-loved childcare facility.
“The current building is coming to the end of its useful life, has limited accessibility and is too small to cater to all programs. These limitations have resulted in programs moving to different locations and spread across multiple local venues.
“By bringing these programs together into one building with better access and more space, we can improve efficiency and better support the community’s growing needs.”
The location of the new property, adjacent to the existing Community House at 572 Park Road, will allow for more space for the variety of programs on offer.
“Located in the heart of Park Orchards, as part of a community and education precinct and near public bus transport, the site will maintain convenient access to childcare, schools, recreational areas, and shops.” Cr Diamante added.
The purchase of 576-578 Park Road is part of Council’s long-term planning to replace this important neighbourhood house for Park Orchards.
Neighbourhood houses are predominantly funded by government grants and additional state and commonwealth government funding will be needed to deliver this new community facility.
“We have purchased this property as part of our long-term plan for the community house and local area. We’re pleased to be able to secure a site for a new centre in Park Orchards and will continue to advocate for State and Federal funding to deliver it.”
The purchase was funded by Council’s Strategic Fund which is part of its 10 Year Financial Plan 2024/25 to 2033/34.
