During the meeting, Mayor Cr Diamante read out a statement attributed to the Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation.  The Statement was taken from a social media page administered by the Corporation. 

After the Council meeting, we were advised that the Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation may update this statement.  The Statement is therefore not included on Council’s website as stated by the Mayor.

The great people at the Greythorn Bowls Club are huge supporters of Live Music in Manningham and many are fellow music folk, so we're in great hands.

On Thursday 6 November they are hosting an Open Mic Night and we thought it would be a great chance for us all to gather together, maybe play a tune or two?

As a part of the Live and Local program with Manningham Council these meet ups are an opportunity for us to connect as a community and shape the Live and Local Program and the future of Live Music in Manningham.

Come to one or all and let’s make music happen locally!

All people passionate about live music who live or play in Manningham are welcome.
