Media Release: New youth hub to open at MC Square
… Release: New youth hub to open at MC Square Manningham Council will open a new youth hub at MC Square in Doncaster …
Article Content

Manningham Council will open a new youth hub at MC Square in Doncaster this August to support young people across Manningham.


MY Hub will open its doors on Thursday 8 August 2024 as a dedicated space for young people aged 10 to 25 in Manningham to find support, resources, and referrals from Manningham’s Youth Services (EACH) team.


Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange said Council is committed to supporting all young people in our community.

 

“Our young people are the future of Manningham. We want to make sure everyone has the resources and support they need to thrive locally,” Cr Lange said.


“MY Hub will be a welcoming and empowering space where young people can find the help they need to grow, connect, and thrive in our community.”


The services available at MY Hub will include:

  • Free mentoring support, guidance, and advice for young people aged 10 to 25

  • Leadership and community engagement opportunities

  • Youth programs for schools and local community groups

  • Support for community service providers and businesses

 

“In my discussions with Manningham Deputy Mayor and chair of the Manningham Youth Advisory Committee Councillor Laura Mayne, she said it will be a great new space for Manningham and encourages everyone to check out the new youth hub” Cr Lange said.


“Our goal is to create a welcoming space where young people can access the support they need, engage with their community, and build a bright future,” Cr Lange said


The youth hub is a key action in Council's 2021-2025 Council Plan, which prioritises better support and services for young people.

 

“Creating a youth hub is a major initiative that reflects our community's desire for better youth support services. We are committed to ensuring everyone can access these resources easily and be part of a healthy and safe community,” Cr Lange said.


Located on level one of MC Square in Doncaster, MY Hub will join a range of other community services that make MC Square a central hub for the Manningham community, including Whitehorse Manningham Libraries, Manningham Art Gallery, Doncare, Doncaster Maternal and Child Health Service, Doncaster Kindergarten, and Early Years at MC Square.


For young people, parents, or carers looking for support, visit MY Hub at MC Square in Doncaster or reach out via the website below.

Media Release: Have your say to help develop a masterplan for Stintons Reserve
… help develop a masterplan for Stintons Reserve Manningham Council is seeking community ideas and input to help develop …
Article Content

The masterplan will guide the future use, development and upgrade of facilities within the reserve over the next 20 years.

Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange, said Stintons Reserve is an important local reserve for sport, recreation and dog exercise activities in Park Orchards.

“This is a much-loved local reserve and we want to hear your ideas as we plan for its future,” Cr Lange said.

“We understand there are a wide variety of user groups and community members that use Stintons Reserve and want to make sure it meets the needs of our growing community now and into the future.

“The masterplan will look at how our community currently uses the reserve along with future uses and potential improvements.”

Council is inviting community members to share their thoughts and ideas about what they would like to see at the reserve via a community survey, closing on Monday 29 July.

“I encourage everyone to find out more, get involved and tell us what you would like to see at Stintons Reserve by completing our community survey,” Cr Lange said.

“We want to continue to keep this space welcoming, accessible and inclusive, so that everyone can enjoy it for their health and wellbeing.”

Community input will help inform the development of a draft Stintons Reserve Masterplan, which will be released for public consultation and community feedback next year.

For more information and to complete the survey before Monday 29 July, visit YourSay Manningham Stintons Reserve Masterplan.

Media release: Community-led recommendations inform plans for Manningham
… voices will remain at the forefront as Manningham Council embeds the Community Panel’s recommendations into its …
Article Content

Community voices will remain at the forefront as Manningham Council embeds the Community Panel’s recommendations into its planning – moving forward with a shared vision for the future.

Council provided its response to the Panel's recommendations in March, with a commitment to implementing them to the fullest extent possible.

Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante said she was proud to be a Council that seeks community insights and takes meaningful action. She will meet with Panel members in May to discuss how the key priorites they identified for Manningham will be addressed. 

“Together, we’re building a future that’s inclusive, sustainable and prosperous for all – guided by the voices and aspirations of our residents,” Cr Diamante said.

The Panel was formed in September 2024 and tasked with delving into complex challenges to help determine key priorities for Manningham.

One of its initial focuses was to review Manningham’s existing Community Vision to ensure it reflected the community’s evolving needs and aspirations. The Panel agreed on an updated vision, which was then adopted unchanged by Council at its March meeting.

Manningham is a harmonious, inclusive and safe community that is committed to sustainable growth, well-being, and innovation. We celebrate our diversity and natural environment whilst fostering a connected community that enriches the lives of all.

— Manningham Community Panel (2025)

The Panel handed over its final recommendations to Council at a meeting held in February, following approximately 1,680 collective hours of deliberation. 

The report contains 14 recommendations and one minority report, which were formally adopted at the March Council meeting. The recommendations span several themes including community safety, transport, open spaces and more.

“We’ve carefully considered each recommendation and prepared a detailed response, outlining how we plan to approach and implement each of them,” Cr Diamante said.

“This will play a pivotal role in helping shape our strategic planning and will drive decisions that will reflect community values,” she said. 

The Panel’s recommendations will provide valuable guidance as Council develops its four-year Council Plan and 10-year Asset and Financial Plans.

Media release: Manningham makes strides in wild deer control
… Manningham makes strides in wild deer control Manningham Council’s wild deer control program is helping reduce the …
Article Content

Manningham Council’s wild deer control program is helping reduce the negative impact of deer on private properties, bushland, waterways and road safety.

Since 2017, Manningham Council has supported residents to manage deer on their properties through our Local Environment Assistance Fund (LEAF) program. 

In recent years, this support has been strengthened through funding from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), enabling Council to provide a 100 per cent rebate for eligible Green Wedge residents who engage a professional deer control contractor.

Through the program, since January 2024 more than 200 Sambar deer have been managed in Warrandyte, Warrandyte South, Park Orchards and Wonga Park. Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, commended the program’s impact on both local biodiversity and road safety.

“Thanks to LEAF, we’ve been able to make significant headway in controlling the wild deer population and reducing the associated damage to private land and our environment,” Cr Diamante said. 

“It’s important that we continue this work, and I encourage eligible landowners to take advantage of the support and expertise offered by the LEAF program.”

Wild deer cause significant and widespread impacts to both private and public land, including destroying native vegetation, disrupting ecosystems and threatening agricultural activities.

The LEAF program provides residents with access to professional support and expertise, ensuring that deer control is done safely, effectively and responsibly.

Manningham Council’s deer control efforts on private land are supported by Parks Victoria’s work on public land, including its successful expansion of deer control activities across five reserves in Warrandyte State Park since July 2024. 

The DEECA grant that helps fund Council’s deer control program is set to end in June 2025.

Manningham Council is in ongoing discussions with DEECA about securing further funding to help support deer control. 

If you see a deer or notice damage, please report it using the FeralScan app to help us reduce the impact of wild deer. Data is securely stored in the FeralScan database and may assist government and biosecurity agencies in planning deer control. You can choose to make your report public or private.

… say on public toilet facilities in Manningham Manningham Council is reviewing its Public Toilet Plan (2021) and …
Article Content

Manningham Council is reviewing its Public Toilet Plan (2021) and inviting feedback on where more public toilet facilities are needed in Manningham.

The Public Toilet Plan is a 10-year strategy designed to deliver a network of sustainable, safe, accessible and high-quality public toilets across Manningham.

Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante said public spaces should be easy for everyone to use and public toilets play a vital role in creating welcoming and accessible spaces.

“Toilets might not be glamorous, but they’re essential in encouraging people to enjoy our parks, walking paths and public spaces without feeling restricted,” Cr Diamante said.

“Well-placed facilities ensure that residents and visitors feel comfortable and have the confidence to make the most of our public spaces.”

Since the Public Toilet Plan was adopted in 2021, Council has completed six new public toilet facilities and upgraded six, with two more to be delivered this year at Mullum Mullum Trail and Cat Jump Reserve.
 

Have your say

Share your thoughts and ideas for public toilet facilities by completing the short survey by Sunday 29 June.

Political and election signs
… and election signs The following information reflects Council's position on the use of signage by candidates at …
Article Content

Updated 17 September 2024

The following information reflects Council's position on the use of signage by candidates at Federal, State and Local government elections.

Manningham’s Community Local Law requires approval before any signage is placed in any public place, space or on Manningham’s footpaths or roads. 

However, to maintain Council’s neutrality during an election period, applications to erect electoral signage on public land will not be supported.  Any electoral related signs erected on Council land may be impounded.  Infringements may also be issued to anybody who breaches the Local Law.

Locations for electoral signs

Private property

Under the planning scheme a planning permit is not required to display an electoral sign on private land that promotes an election candidate provided all the following are met:

  • only one sign is erected on the site
  • the area of the sign does not exceed 5 square metres
  • the sign is not animated or internally illuminated
  • the sign must not be displayed for longer than three months or 14 days after the event is held.

If these criteria are not met, a planning permit will be required before the display of any signage on private land. 

Displaying a sign before obtaining a planning permit may result in significant penalties being issued under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to the owner of the land and to the person who erects the sign.

Mobile signage

Signage on vehicles, trailers and/or caravans must be attached to a moving vehicle. When parked these may require additional approvals.

Council property

No signage is permitted on any Council properties and/or at any Council facilities.

To discuss any requirements for election signage beyond these specifications, please contact us.

For more information on the Manningham Community Local Law, visit Guiding legislations (LGA and our Local Law).

Media release: Major milestone for Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade
… Road drainage upgrades is now complete, and Manningham Council is preparing for phase two works to start late next …
Article Content

The first phase of the Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrades is now complete, and Manningham Council is preparing for phase two works to start late next year.

Manningham Mayor, Cr Deirdre Diamante said the completion of phase one marks a significant milestone for the project.

“Phase one has tackled key safety and flooding issues for locals, while also enhancing the local habitat through planting of species of native vegetation to provide shelter and food as well as contributing to the overall biodiversity.”

This major project, covering approximately 35 hectares of residential area, aims to reduce flood risk to protect local properties and businesses.

Commencing earlier this year, with the installation of underground drainage along the roadside, widening of the road, and removal of deep depressions and driveway culverts.

We are now preparing for the second phase of construction, which will focus on upgrading the drainage systems within easements on private properties. This phase will improve stormwater management and provide flood protection for properties by addressing surface water runoff.

“We’re looking forward to the next stage of construction starting next year, as it will provide essential flood protection for properties along Melbourne Hill Road,” the Mayor added.

Construction is expected to begin in late 2025 and take approximately one year to complete. However, the schedule may be affected by weather conditions and the potential relocation of underground service assets.

In the meantime, Council will continue its planting program, supporting the establishment of new native plantings over the coming years.

For further information and the latest project updates, visit Your Say Manningham.

Property purchase sets the stage for new community house
… purchase sets the stage for new community house Manningham Council has signed the contract to purchase 576-578 Park …
Article Content

We have 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 our 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 will be the catalyst for investment from other levels of government.

Our 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 our 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 our Strategic Fund which is part of our 10 Year Financial Plan 2024/25 to 2033/34.

Our position on a glass-only recycling bin service

Article Content

We are one of 31 Victorian Councils calling on the State Government to reconsider the requirement of a kerbside glass recycling bin for all households by 1 July 2027.

As a group, Councils are advocating for the mandatory implementation of the fourth glass-only bin service to be postponed and reconsidered.

We are concerned about the cost implications for our community and want to see the State Government release its business case for the service and delay its commencement date until Councils have had time to review it appropriately.

The cost to implement a fourth glass-only bin service is estimated at $4 million, plus, on average, $27 per household per year. 

As an advocacy group, Councils sent a joint a letter to the Minister for Environment, the Hon. Steve Dimopoulos, late last year, which outlined the findings of a Council investigation on the feasibility of the service in comparison to alternative options for glass recycling.

The investigation found that expanding the existing Container Deposit Scheme to include wine and spirit bottles would provide similar circularity benefits to a glass-only bin service, without passing on excessive costs to Councils and residents.

We want to see the State Government listen to Councils’ concerns and consider alternative options before forcing the implementation of a glass-only kerbside recycling bin.

As part of our advocacy for Manningham on this important issue, we have also submitted a motion to the Municipal Association of Victoria to repeal the Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021 provisions, which mandate Victorian Councils provide a glass-only service to households.

You can find out more about this motion in the 25 February Council Meeting Minutes. See Item 13.2, MAV State Council Motions.

Article Content

Getting involved in climate action is vital to creating a more liveable future. We’re making this action easier by offering resources, events, programs and partnerships. 

Since we recognised the Climate Emergency in 2020, we’ve introduced several initiatives to help us move towards our zero emission targets – for Council by 2028 and for the Manningham community by 2035. 

Here’s how we’re supporting you to act on climate, both individually and together as a community.

Individuals: How we can support 

We’re making individual change feel less solo by sharing handy resources, connecting you with government discounts and even providing a year’s supply of compostable bin liners. 

 

Graphic of a green and white house with solar panels and battery, electric hot water, electric heating/cooling and an electric vehicle charging.
1. Resources and discounts to go electric

We’re supporting households to go electric with free resources, webinars and information sessions. Residents can also access installers and government discounts through our partnership with Solar Savers.

The benefits? The opportunity to create a healthier, more efficient home while also powering a cleaner future.  

Graphic of a woman holding a a cup and looking over her shoulder at an electric vehicle changing
2. A network of public electric vehicle (EV) chargers

Considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV)?

Owning one will soon be more convenient in Manningham, as we’re rolling out a network of nine public EV chargers from early 2025. The chargers will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, through government accredited GreenPower. 

Graphic of a man holding a black tub full of scraps, he is standing in front of an open green rubbish bin.
3. FOGO support (and a free roll of liners!)

The FOGO service is one of the simplest ways to reduce carbon emissions. 

By using our FOGO bins, we can decrease the waste sent to landfill to create a healthier environment for us all.

This means placing the right items in your FOGO bins and using the certified compostable liners (that meet the AS4736 standards), as these decompose. 

To make this simpler, we’re providing each Manningham household with a free roll of 150 compostable liners (approximately one year’s supply), available for collection from the Manningham Civic Centre or Council Depot.

We’re also sharing FOGO tips and tricks, ‘how to’ videos, translated language guides and more to help you with FOGO. Explore our helpful FOGO resources.

4. Clothes swap days

Fast fashion has a negative impact on our environment, accounting for 10 per cent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

An alternative to this? 

  • buying secondhand and vintage
  • swapping clothes.

Clothes swap days are a fantastic way to refresh your wardrobe and meet new people. Here at Council, we regularly run clothing exchange days. See when the next one is.

 

Our community: How we’re helping 

Our impact is greater when we work together. That’s why we’re facilitating community events and connecting you to local groups who make a positive difference.

5. Tree planting days

Planting trees is one of the best and simplest ways to take climate action, while making Manningham a greener and more beautiful place to live and work. 

Join us next National Tree Day (Sunday 28 July) to plant trees together. Check our What's on event calendar each July to find planting locations.

6. Access to community groups

Local environmental groups are a fantastic opportunity to connect with neighbours and make a difference in your shared backyard.

We can connect you to:

  • Andersons Creek Landcare Group
  • Jumping Creek Catchment Landcare Group
  • Friends Of Warrandyte State Park
  • Wonga Park Environment Group
  • Friends of Park Orchards Reserve
  • Friends of Yarra Valley Parks

7. A regular community garden

The Doncaster Hill Community Garden is a friendly space for anyone interested in gardening and making new friends.

Meeting every second Tuesday morning, volunteers tend to the garden with all produce donated to Doncare’s food relief program. Register for the next session.

8. Sustainable schools program

We run several programs to encourage local schools to protect and care for our natural environment, as well as sustainable education programs for our teacher network.

This includes:

  • Eastern Alliance for Sustainable Learning
  • Resource Smart Schools Program
  • Environmental Leadership Program for Schools

Learn more about our schools programs.

Article Content

Manningham Council would like to inform residents that from Tuesday 28 January 2025 through to mid March, your household may receive a call from an independent market research agency, National Field Services. They have been commissioned to conduct our 2025 Community Satisfaction Survey on behalf of the council. Please be assured that your details and individual responses are confidential.

The Community satisfaction survey is a yearly requirement. For these surveys, the market agency reaches out by phone to 400 randomly selected 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.

Media release: Funding boost a win for local sport and recreation
… boost a win for local sport and recreation Manningham Council has welcomed more than $450,000 in Victorian …
Article Content

Manningham Council has welcomed more than $450,000 in Victorian Government funding to support three major recreation and leisure projects, including the Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre outdoor redevelopment.

Mayor Cr Deirdre Diamante met with North-Eastern Metropolitan MP Sonja Terpstra, and the new Federal Member for Menzies, Gabriel Ng, MP, at Aquarena this week for the funding announcement. The three projects that have received support through the 2024-25 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund, are:

  • Aquarena outdoor redevelopment: $250,000
  • Domeney Reserve sports field LED floodlight upgrade: $162,937
  • Manningham Recreation Strategy: $40,000.

“We’re grateful to receive this critical financial support through Sonja Terpstra and the Victorian Government’s 2024-25 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund,” Cr Diamante said.

“This funding will go toward important projects that benefit the health, wellbeing and safety of our community in Manningham.

“Aquarena has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From learn to swim lessons in the old outdoor 25m pool, to hot summer days climbing those endless stairs to the car park. Aquarena is part of the fabric of Manningham.”

Sonja Terpstra said, “The Allan Labor Government is delivering on its promise to upgrade Aquarena at Doncaster. As a seasoned swimmer myself, I couldn't be more excited about what this means for locals in Doncaster and surrounding suburbs who love to swim.

“We're also investing $162,937 for LED lighting at Domeney Reserve in Park Orchards and $40,000 towards Manningham Council's recreation strategy. These investments ensure our community sporting facilities are modernised and accessible, which means more people can enjoy playing local sport right on their doorstep.”

The redevelopment of the outdoor precinct at Aquarena will see a new 50m outdoor pool, family zone with interactive water play, splash pad and toddler pool, spectator seating, change rooms, a new café and more.

At Domeney Reserve, the sports field floodlighting will be upgraded to a minimum of 100LUX to meet the needs for evening AFL play. This will improve facility capacity and participant safety and ensure the lighting meets appropriate standards.

A new Manningham Recreation Strategy will help guide the future provision of community-based sport, recreation and leisure opportunities for residents over the next 10 years.

Towards net zero: An update on our climate progress
… been working hard to reach our zero emission targets for Council by 2028 and the community by 2035.  On this page …
Article Content

Since declaring a Climate Emergency in 2020, we’ve been working hard to reach our zero emission targets for Council by 2028 and the community by 2035.

Now, we’re proud to release an implementation update on our Climate Emergency Response Plan, which details the progress we’ve made, what’s next and how you can get involved.

Our big wins

From electrifying our facilities to decreasing landfill waste, we’ve accelerated our climate action in the past four years.

In turn, we’re enhancing the liveability of Manningham and promoting community health and wellbeing. We’re also boosting the resilience of our natural and built environments, as well as the local economy.  

We’re proud to have: 

  • reduced landfill waste by more than 50 per cent since introducing Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) bins
  • converted all Council-owned facilities and street lighting to 100 per cent renewable energy from regional Victorian wind farms 
  • begun transitioning our vehicles and plant equipment to be fully electric
  • planted more than 2,000 advanced trees and over 15,000 shrubs and grasses each year in our parks, reserves and bushland areas.

How you can help

Climate action is something everyone can do at home, work, school – or in your community.

Whether it’s electrifying your home, growing your own food, joining a community group or attending one of our Inspired Living Series events, there’s something for everyone.

Need more ideas?

Download our Climate Emergency Response Plan - Implementation Update below for more ways to act on climate in Manningham.

Next steps for Council

We have 10 years to reduce emissions to net zero. This ambitious goal will require a collective effort to secure a safer, healthier climate for our generation – and every one after.  

To realise our net zero target by 2035, we’re implementing changes across the following themes:

  • energy transition
  • sustainable transport
  • climate resilient communities
  • natural systems
  • sustainable water
  • circular economy

You can see a detailed breakdown of what this looks like in our Climate Emergency Response Plan - Implementation Update.

Media release: Virtual fences on Jumping Creek Road to protect wildlife and reduce roadkill
… Road to protect wildlife and reduce roadkill Manningham Council installed 20 virtual fence posts along Jumping Creek …
Article Content

Did you know there are 20 virtual fence posts positioned along Jumping Creek Road, between Nelson Drive and the entrance to Warrandyte State Park’s Jumping Creek Reserve, to protect local wildlife and help reduce roadkill?

Installed by Manningham Council as part of the Jumping Creek Road upgrade, these innovative virtual fences are designed to save animals’ lives by releasing sound and light when a car approaches.

Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, said the initiative is an important step towards addressing wildlife road fatalities.

“These virtual fences are a fantastic way to protect our local wildlife, especially in areas where animals frequently cross the road,” Cr Diamante said.

“We strategically placed these fences near Jumping Creek, as animals use creeks as habitat corridors.” 

“You will see the fence posts along the side of the road… and we encourage residents to be aware and help us keep our wildlife safe.”

While they might look like street posts, these virtual fences play a crucial role in enhancing road safey for both wildlife and drivers. 

Local wildlife rescuer, Katja Gutwein, has seen the benefits of these fences firsthand.

“The virtual fence is a low-cost solution that has drastically reduced wildlife fatalities and improved safety for all road users,” Ms Gutwein said. 

If you spot any damage to the fences, contact Manningham Council on 9840 9333 or email environment@manningham.vic.gov.au. 

The fences were installed as part of the Jumping Creek Road upgrade, which aims to improve road safety for all road users.
