Warrandyte community groups to shape the direction of Council facilities

Article Content

Manningham Council will engage local community groups to help plan the future direction of community facilities in Warrandyte.

Engagement will commence in July as part of the Warrandyte Community Facilities Review (Review) – a key project under Manningham’s Community Infrastructure Plan (CIP).

Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange said Council is looking for future improvements to community facilities that will better support local services and connectivity for residents.

“Last year’s consultation on the Community Infrastructure Plan highlighted the need for a holistic review into the provision of community facilities in Warrandyte. With an increasing demand for services, we need to ensure the right infrastructure is in place to support community need,” Cr Lange said.

“The Review will help guide future investment into community facilities in Warrandyte,” she said.

During the consultation, community groups will provide information on their usage, needs, and expectations of facilities. They will also share ideas for future services and buildings, including opportunities for partnerships and facility sharing.

“We want to better understand the needs, priorities and aspirations of our local community groups.

“These discussions will guide the preparation of our draft recommendations, which will be shared with the broader community for further feedback early next year,” the Mayor added.

Community groups and services will be contacted directly to participate in the consultation.

If you haven’t heard from Council by the end of July and would like to participate, please contact Council via Your Say Manningham.

The final plan will be presented to Council for endorsement in 2025.

Article Content

The Manningham Community Panel has reached a significant milestone, charting a course for the future after delivering its final recommendations to Council.

Manningham Mayor Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the Panel’s insights will be invaluable in ensuring that the Council’s strategic plans are grounded in the community's needs and aspirations.

“By listening to the voices of our community, we’re ensuring that our decisions and actions reflect and align with what matters most to our residents,” Cr Diamante said.
“The Panel has played a crucial role in this process, comprising members from diverse age groups, cultural backgrounds and geographic locations that represent the unique tapestry of our community.
“This collaborative approach will help enable us to create a more inclusive, resilient, sustainable and vibrant community for all.”

The Panel was established to identify Manningham's key priorities, challenges and opportunities – to help guide our strategic plans. This includes the Community Vision 2040, the four-year Council Plan, and the 10-year Asset and Financial Plans.

Throughout the process, Panel members deliberated for approximately 1,680 collective hours and heard from over 50 speakers from Council and community.

They handed over their recommendations at the final meeting on 1 February 2025. They span several themes including community safety, transport, open spaces and more.

“Over the coming weeks, we’ll prepare a response to each of the panel’s recommendations, including how they will be implemented or the reasons for not supporting any recommendation,” Cr Diamante said.
“We’re sincerely grateful to the panel members for their time and efforts during this dynamic process and committed to implementing the panel’s recommendations to the fullest extent possible. We’ll ensure their insights are carefully considered in all our decision-making as we plan ahead for Manningham,” the Mayor added.
