Local Government Act 2020
Local Government in Victoria is administered under the Local Government Act 2020, which provides a framework for the establishment and operation of councils.
The Act is the main legislative instrument for Victoria's seventy-nine councils.
Part 1A of the Local Government Act contains the Local Government Charter, which describes the purpose, objectives and functions of council.
In addition to these matters, the Local Government Act also includes provisions for:
- entitlements for residents and ratepayers to vote in council elections
- the conduct of local council elections, nominations and vote counting
- independent Electoral Representation Reviews by an electoral commission
- council governance requirements, including codes of conduct and disclosure of conflicts of interest
- council decision making, including records of meetings, confidentiality and limits on decisions during election periods
- levying and payment of council rates and charges
- preparation of Council Plans, budgets and annual reports
- council's powers to make and enforce local laws.
Community Local Law
Manningham’s Community Local Law 2023 is a local law made under Part 3 of the Local Government Act 2020 and section 42 of the Domestic Animals Act 1994.
This Local Law is made in recognition of Manningham’s Generation 2030 Community Plan and the Council Plan, which, as Council’s overarching strategic documents, provide a long-term shared vision for Manningham and the community by guiding the development of policy and strategies.
Freedom of Information
Find out what information you can request and how in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
Information Privacy
Manningham City Council and its service providers value the privacy of every individual's personal information.
Council is committed to protecting the information it collects and uses by compliance with its obligations under the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014. To review Council’s privacy statement and policies, please visit Manningham Council's Privacy Policy.
Human Rights Charter
The Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 is a law that protects the human rights of all people in Victoria.
The Charter requires all public authorities and their employees to act compatibly with human rights in the delivery of services and when making decisions.
Manningham City Council recognises and respects that everyone has the same human rights entitlement to allow them to participate in, and contribute to, society and our community. We recognise that all persons have equal rights in the provision of, and access to, Council services and facilities. We also recognise that, at times, such rights may be limited, insofar as to strike a balance between individual rights and the protection of public interest.
The Charter complements other laws such the Equal Opportunity legislation and protects rights such as freedom of speech, freedom from forced work and freedom from degrading treatment which previously had no legal protection. The Charter sets out a list of twenty rights that assist all people to live with freedom, respect, equality and dignity.

Fraud and Corruption Control
Council is the custodian of significant public funds and assets therefore it is important that the community has assurance that these are adequately protected.
In December 2022, Council approved the Manningham Council Fraud and Corruption Policy.
The Policy sets out specific guidelines and responsibilities regarding appropriate actions that must be followed for the investigation of fraud and corruption and other similar irregularities.
The Policy should be read together with the Manningham Risk Management Strategy and relevant legislation.
Public Interest Disclosures Procedures
The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (the Act) facilitates the making of public interest disclosures about improper conduct within the public sector without fear of reprisal. The Act aims to ensure openness and accountability by encouraging people to make disclosures and protecting them when they do.
Manningham is committed to the aims and objectives of the Act and encourages the making of disclosures about improper conduct. Council will not tolerate improper conduct by the organisation, its workers or Councillors nor the taking of reprisals against anyone who discloses such conduct.
What is a public interest disclosure?
Public Interest Disclosures (PID) are reports about:
- Improper conduct of public bodies or public officers (such as corrupt conduct).
- Detrimental action that a public body or public officer has taken against a person in reprisal for them (or another person) having made a PID or cooperating with the investigation of a PID.
A person making a disclosure must believe, on reasonable grounds, that the Council, worker or Councillor has engaged in, or proposes to engage in, improper conduct.
How do I make a public interest disclosure?
A PID may only be made by a natural person or a group of people making a joint disclosure. A PID cannot be made by a company or organisation.
We can only address disclosures that relate to Manningham City Council and its workers. A person making a disclosure can do so by contacting Council or the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).
Council recommends that a written disclosure is sealed in an envelope and clearly marked:
- “Private and Confidential – Attention Mr Andrew McMaster, Chief Legal and Governance Officer”.
- Or by email to Andrew McMaster: andrew.mcmaster@manningham.vic.gov.au.
If your disclosure is about a Councillor, your disclosure must be made to the IBAC or the Victorian Ombudsman.
How will Manningham protect me if I make a disclosure?
Manningham will take all reasonable steps to protect a person who makes a public interest disclosure. All correspondence, phone calls and emails from a discloser will be referred to the Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator.
The Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator will take all necessary steps to ensure that the identity of the discloser and the person who is the subject of the disclosure are kept confidential. Where appropriate welfare support will also be provided.
Who can I contact if I am thinking about making a public interest disclosure?
Anyone considering making a disclosure is encouraged to read Manningham’s Public Interest Disclosure Procedures on this page. The procedures will guide you through the process and help you understand how to make a disclosure and activate the protections available under the Act.
Disclosures to Manningham Council
Disclosures to Manningham should be made confidentially to the Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator or to one of the Public Interest Disclosure Officers listed below:
- Andrew McMaster, Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator, telephone 9840 9360

- Carrie Bruce, Senior Governance Lead, telephone 9840 9210
- Vicki Miller, Risk and Assurance Lead, telephone 9840 9204

Disclosures can also be made directly to the IBAC.
- Address: Level 1, North Tower, 459 Collins Street, Melbourne 3001
- Telephone: 1300 735 135
- Online: You can also submit an online complaint at the IBAC website
Disclosures about Councillors
Disclosures about Councillors must be made directly to the Victorian Ombudsman

Alternatives to making a public interest disclosure
The Public Interest Disclosures Procedures are designed to complement normal methods of submitting a complaint to Council and existing communication channels between workers and line managers. If your complaint does not meet the threshold of a public interest disclosure, it will be referred through to the appropriate person for action.
Need more information?
You can find more information about public interest disclosures in the Guidelines for handling public interest disclosures on the IBAC website.
Manningham’s Public Interest Disclosures Procedures have been prepared in accordance with these guidelines and advice from the IBAC.
Please contact the Council’s Protected Disclosure Coordinator on 9840 9360 for further information or a confidential discussion. Advice can also be received from IBAC on a confidential basis.

Enrolments for the 2024 local council elections are now closed.
Voting process
Voting in council elections is by post
You’ll receive a ballot pack that contains ballot papers by mail. The packs will have instructions and information about the candidates. Don’t worry if you don’t receive a ballot pack at the same time as someone you live with. They’re posted in random order to enrolled voters.
Return your ballot paper by mail.
What to do if you’ve changed your address
If you’ve changed address after the close of the roll or can’t collect your ballot pack, you can request a redirect to your new address. To request a redirect, make sure it’s done before nominations have closed. You can make a request for an early postal vote after nominations have closed if you have a good reason.
In what order do the names of the candidates appear?
A single, random draw determines in which order names will appear on a ballot. The election manager conducts the draw at the election officer after the close of nominations. The election manager will tell the candidates the time of the draw.
How to vote in other languages
The Victorian Electoral Commission provides voting information in languages other than English and in Easy English. Choose one of the links below.
How to check your enrolment status
You can apply, check and update your enrolment details online at Victorian Electoral Commission or pick up an enrolment form at any post office or AEC office.
Enrolling to vote
Enrolments for the 2024 local council elections are now closed.
In a council election there are two types of voters:
- state-enrolled voters
- council-enrolled voters.
State enrolled voters
Read the following information to find out which group you fit into.
Manningham resident on the state electoral roll
If you live in Manningham and are enrolled to vote in State elections, you will be automatically enrolled to vote in Council elections.
Manningham resident not on the state electoral roll
If you are not yet on the State electoral roll, you will need to enrol with the Victorian Electoral Commission. This applies to Manningham residents who are Australian citizens aged 18 or older on 26 October 2024.
Manningham resident on the state electoral roll at a previous address
If you are living in Manningham but are on the state electoral roll for a previous address outside Manningham, you will need to enrol directly with the Victorian Electoral Commission. This applies if you have lived at your current residential address for at least one month and have not updated your enrolment details, including any changes to your postal address.
For further information, or to update your enrolment details, visit Check my Victorian enrolment details.
Voting in council elections is compulsory if you’re on the state electoral roll.
Council enrolled voters
You may be eligible to vote in Manningham’s elections even if you aren’t automatically enrolled. The Local Government Act 2020 includes a number of voting entitlements that may apply, provided you are not automatically enrolled as outlined above.
You may be eligible to apply directly to Council to be included on the voters’ roll if you are aged 18 years or over on 26 October 2024 and fit into one of the following groups.
Owner ratepayer
You own and pay rates for a property in Manningham. This includes non-Australian citizens and owners who do not occupy the property.
Occupier ratepayer
You occupy a rateable property in Manningham and you are liable to pay the rates.
Corporation
You are either a director or secretary of a corporation which pays rates in Manningham. You consent in writing to be appointed and are not already enrolled through appointment by another corporation.
Enrolments for the 2024 local council elections are now closed.
Enrol to vote in Federal elections
To find out about options available to help you cast your vote at the next federal election, visit the Australian Electoral Commission website.
Enrolment limits
You can only enrol to vote once per council, regardless of whether you are a resident, ratepayer or corporation representative. You must be 18 years or older on election day to be enrolled.
A property can have any number of State residents enrolled at a single address. A property can also have up to two joint owner ratepayers and up to two joint occupier ratepayers enrolled in respect of each property by council. In practice this means a property could have up to four council electors in addition to any number of State residents.
A corporation may only exercise the right of entitlement once in any municipal district, regardless of how many properties it owns or occupies or jointly owns or occupies in the municipal district. A corporation may only appoint one representative to enrol for this property.

When do you need an access across reserves permit?
You need an access across reserves permit to get access to private property through an adjoining Council reserve or Council property for any building works or similar.
There are some reasons where we may not issue a permit depending on:
- seasonal conditions - we are less likely to approve a permit during winter as there is a higher likelihood of damage to our reserves and land or
- environmentally sensitive areas.
Who can apply?
The property owner and/or their contractor can apply for this permit.
How much does it cost?
The application fee is $168.00 (non-refundable).
You will also need to pay a refundable security deposit (minimum $250 to $2,000 plus).
How to apply
To apply for consent you will need:
- A completed application form
- Supporting documentation.
What happens next?
Allow 14 business days for us to review your application.
The following process once we receive your application:
-
We will conduct inspections to determine the security deposit, refunds and damages.
We will advise you by email if your application is approved or not. If approved, we will issue a tax invoice for both the permit fee and the security deposit.
-
You pay the tax invoice and security deposit.
The permit will be sent to you by email.
-
Read the permit conditions carefully.
We may revoke the permit if conditions are not met and an infringement may be issue.
-
Upon your advice, we will inspect the site after the work has ceased to determine if any reinstatement works are needed prior to releasing the refundable security deposit.
- If there is no damage and the inspection is signed off as satisfactory, we will return your security deposit. The security deposit is paid as a bank transfer into your nominated bank account.
- If any damage is noted, we will contact you to arrange reinstatement works. The permit-holder is responsible for all damage caused by works, and the damage must be reinstated to our satisfaction.

Getting involved with your local council is a great way to make a difference in the community. Anyone can be a Councillor if they’re:
- an Australian citizen
- an eligible British subject
- enrolled to vote in Manningham.
Being a Councillor isn’t a full-time job. Councillors do have to go to meetings and briefing sessions held out of normal business hours. They’re also required to attend committees or serve on external committees as a representative.
The duties of a Councillor
The definition of a Councillor in the Local Government Act 2020 is a person who:
- participates in the decision making of the Council
- represents the interests of the municipal community in that decision making.
Councillors also contribute to strategic decision. They help develop and review key strategic documents and the Council Plan.
A Councillor must put the interests of their community first
A Councillor must:
- consider the diversity of interests and needs of the community
- support the role of the Council
- acknowledge and support the role of the Mayor
- act lawfully and in accordance with the oath or affirmation of office
- act in accordance with the standards of conduct
- comply with Council procedures required for good governance.
Councillors don’t have the same duties or responsibilities as a Chief Executive Officer.
How much time is required to be a Councillor?
Being a Councillor is not a full-time job. Most Councillors are in full-time employment and perform their Councillor duties in their own time.
Councillors are required to:
- attend Council meetings and briefing sessions held out of normal business hours
- attend various Council committees
- serve on external committees as a Council representative.
Most, but not all of these meetings, are held after 6.00pm.
Do Councillors receive an allowance?
The Mayor and Councillors receive an allowance for performing their duties. The Victorian Government sets the levels for allowances paid to Councillors.
Current allowances
The Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal has responsibility for determining the level of allowances. The current yearly allowances, as of 18 December 2023, are:
- $130,390 for the Mayor
- $65,195 for the Deputy Mayor
- $39,390 for a Councillor.
View the most recent Allowance report.
Superannuation
There is also a requirement for an amount equivalent to the superannuation guarantee under Commonwealth taxation legislation (currently 9.5 per cent) to be paid in addition to the allowance.
Expenses
Councillors are entitled to be reimbursed for any necessary out-of-pocket expenses they incur whilst performing their duties. The Council Expenses Policy guides the reimbursement of Councillor Expenses.
Council reports annually to the community on their reimbursements.
