Power 2 Pedal is a fun and welcoming program, delivered in a safe environment where kids and teens with autism will learn and develop their bike riding skills.
This program will also support people to build their skills and confidence to be able to include bike riding in their everyday life, for example riding to school.
When
Each Monday between 22 April and 27 May 2024 (six week program).
Cost
$90 or participants can use NDIS plans to pay for the program.
Intermediate (Level 2)
This level is designed for those who are confident riding but need to refine their skills. Focus areas may be controlling/turning, braking, scanning, gear changing and hazard awareness. Participants will also get the opportunity to learn new BMX skills and ride on the BMX track.
If your child is a less experienced rider, register for the Level 1 (beginner) program instead.
Each session will have a maximum of 10 participants with two coaches.
Support staff
We recommend all participants have someone with them at the program to support their development one-on-one.
Please note that support staff are not organised through this program. Should participant support be required, please organise this through a disability service provider (such as Leisure Networks).
What to bring
Participants are encouraged to bring their own bike and helmet. If this is not possible and you require access to equipment or you are unsure what level would be appropriate for your child, please phone Tori on 0434 412 989 or email tori.honner@leisurenetworks.org.
Places are limited in this program and registration is required.
Power 2 Pedal is supported by VicHealth in partnership with Aus Cycling, Manningham Council, and the Park Orchards BMX club.

Council has provided a submission to the Urban Design and Landscape Plan (UDLP) for the next stage of the Eastern Freeway Upgrades, as part of the North East Link Program (NELP).
NELP recently exhibited the latest UDLP for the Eastern Freeway Upgrade from Tram Road to Springvale Road for community review and feedback, providing information about the project design, landscape plans and architectural plans.
We have provided recommendations throughout the submission that aim to improve the overall design and net community benefit for Manningham residents.
Our submission identifies various matters in the UDLP for attention by NELP and reiterates Council’s strong and ongoing advocacy to ensure:
We have also sought full transparency and accountability from NELP and its contractors on an agreed, documented and effective tree removal process, while maintaining our position for vegetation removal to be minimised to the greatest possible extent.
Our detailed submission focuses on key areas across:
We lodged our submission in September 2025.
For more information, please download the Urban Design and Landscape Plan submission. - D25/47927
For more information and to view the UDLP, visit Tram Road to Springvale Road - Victoria’s Big Build.
What’s next?
North East Link Project will consider all written comments and submissions received, then finalise the UDLP and submit it to the Minister for Planning for approval.
After the Minister for Planning has approved the UDLP, the community will be updated on how feedback was considered.
While North East Link refines the design for the Eastern Freeway Upgrades from Tram to Springvale Road through this UDLP – you’ll start to see the team setting up construction compounds for workers and preparing for further works along the Eastern Freeway.
Council also continues to engage actively with North East Link beyond the UDLP process, including by reviewing detailed design packs, providing comments on upcoming construction and communications activities, and advocating for key community and environmental outcomes. While Council is only a stakeholder in this State-led project, we are doing our utmost to ensure the needs of our community are considered at all stages of the project.
You can read more on the Big Build website and sign up to receive email updates.
North East Link will notify the community once exhibition dates for a UDLP for the remaining stage of the Eastern Freeway Upgrades, from Hoddle Street to Burke Road, are released.

UPDATED: 16 September 2025 with revised timeline.
Owning an electric vehicle (EV) in Manningham will soon be more convenient.
We’re partnering with Jolt Charge and Evie Networks to roll out 9 public electric vehicle charging stations in 2025 and 2026 – powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.
Although they’re privately owned, public EV chargers are on public land and available for everyone to use – all day, every day. The universal chargers are accessible to every electric vehicle.
Electric vehicle use is booming, with more people switching every day.
Ensure that EV charging is accessible and practical
Many EV owners rely on public chargers to power up while on the go, or because they don’t have the infrastructure at home. A public charging network will ensure that residents living in apartments, rental properties or areas without dedicated parking can access EV chargers.
Reduce our transport emissions
Transport accounts for nearly a quarter of Manningham’s carbon emissions. This rate is higher than other local governments in Melbourne – and nationally.
Encouraging more people to use electric vehicles powered by renewable energy will help decrease our transport emissions and reach Manningham's net zero emissions target by 2035.
Boost local businesses with enhanced car parking
It's proven that EV users visit shops and activity centres that provide EV chargers. While charging, they can explore nearby shops, businesses, and recreational facilities.
Increase driver confidence
EV users can travel confidently in and around Manningham, knowing they can rely on a network of fast chargers to top up on the go.
Create a cleaner and greener Manningham
Powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, the charging network will help reduce transport emissions, improve local air quality and reduce noise pollution.
The nine new public EV charging stations will be conveniently located near commercial, recreational and tourist destinations.
The specific locations of the charging bays will depend on access to power supply.
Sites we’re exploring include:
Each charging station will be operated by either Jolt or Evie.
Both chargers are powered by 100 per cent renewable energy through government accredited GreenPower.
Each provider offers a distinct product and service, giving you more options for charging.
Their services are summarised below.
| Jolt Charge | Evie Networks | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | 25kW and 50kW DC fast chargers. | 75kW DC ultra fast chargers. |
| Indicative speed | 75km to 125km of range in 30 minutes. | 150km of range in 30 minutes. |
| Plug | Tethered CCS2 plugs at all sites. CHadeMO plugs at select sites. | Tethered CCS2 plugs at all sites. CHadeMO plugs at select sites. |
| Services and costs | 7 kWh free daily charge (up to 50 km of range).* Additional charge at 59 cents per kWh, depending on site. *Free charging is subsidised by the digital advertising screens featured on Jolt’s chargers. | 58 to 68 cents per kWh, depending on site. |
| Payment | Payment through JOLT app. No paid subscription required. | Payment through Evie app or RFID card. No paid subscription required. |
| e-Bikes | e-Bike chargers with standard 10A outlet at select locations. Cable not provided. |
There will be no cost to us to install and operate the infrastructure. The chargers will be located on our land, however Jolt Charge and Evie Networks will cover all expenses for the chargers, including ongoing maintenance. The chargers are based on a user-pay model, with charging costs at standard market rates.
The chargers are powered by 100 per cent renewable energy through government accredited GreenPower.

Beyond the Table: The Dinner Party Reimagined is a reimagining of a traditional dinner party, with a nod to 1970s nostalgia and celebrating one of the key gathering spaces in our homes, the humble dining table.
The installation is on display at Manningham Art Gallery as part of Melbourne Design Week, Australia's premier design festival featuring events across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Emerging Manningham artist Isobel Goodman responds to and selects works from Manningham Council’s ‘Potters Cottage Collection,’ a grouping of vessels created by the Potters Cottage co-operative. The co-operative was founded in Warrandyte in 1958 to advocate for and sell handmade functional Australian pottery.
Goodman hand builds her signature papier mâché and plaster sculptures – organic and abstracted forms to reference a dinner party table setting – vases, cutlery, plates, and candlesticks that play off and create a contemporary juxtaposition against the Potters Cottage vessels from the 1970s.
Surrounding the central dining table presentation is a display of paintings from local Manningham artist Jade Piltz. These works depict bright, layered and abstract domestic objects that encapsulate the exhibition’s celebration of communal gathering and ritual.
During Melbourne Design Week (15-25 May) visitors can take home a flower to celebrate this exhibition.
Artist Bios:
Isobel Goodman was recently awarded a Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Melbourne. Her practice focuses on sculptural exploration and the body’s navigation of space and environment through the perspective of APD (Auditory Processing Disorder). She invites audiences to examine their relationship between the physical self and how we navigate the world around us.
Jade Piltz is a Warrandyte painter and ceramist. She is fascinated by our innate search for belonging, our desire for meaning and relationships to change and transition. Using mark making, she explores the ways our interactions with surrounding spaces and objects, narrate and inform our lives.
This Exhibition was supported by Gabriela Mello, owner and director of Warrandyte Pottery, through artist mentorship and technical and conceptual support and curated by Lucy Beattie Hughes, Manningham Council’s Creative Industries Officer.

This is part of NELP’s upcoming redevelopment of the facility, which will connect it to the Eastern Busway – a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway.
Doncaster Park and Ride has been a valued service for many years, providing convenient parking and bus services for hundreds of commuters daily.
Manningham Council recognises the closure of the Doncaster Park and Ride will significantly impact the Manningham community. We are actively advocating on your behalf to improve alternative commuter options.
Though we have made several requests to NELP, we’re disappointed with the State’s lack of alternatives for impacted commuters and will continue advocating for further options to minimise disruption.
Bulleen Park and Ride opened in April 2023 to provide replacement parking and other travel options, while the Doncaster facility is closed for upgrades.
However, as the Bulleen facility has been consistently operating near capacity, there are limited car spaces available to accommodate commuters affected by the Doncaster facility’s closure.
As the Doncaster Park and Ride bus services will now operate from the newly constructed temporary bus on Doncaster Road from 12 January 2025, we also encourage you to check before you travel and plan your journey via the PTV Journey Planner.
If you do have any questions or concerns, please contact NELP on 1800 105 105, call or see further details at the Big Build website.
Manningham’s new Councillors have elected Councillor Deirdre Diamante as Manningham Mayor and Councillor Andrew Conlon as Deputy Mayor for the year ahead.
Unanimously voted in by her fellow Councillors at the Annual Meeting of Council on 19 November 2024, Cr Diamante said it is an honour to lead the newly elected Council in the first year of its four-year term.
The Tullamore Ward Councillor is passionate about equal opportunity, our natural environment and family, and has been a Manningham resident for more than 40 years. A Councillor since 2020, Cr Diamante previously served as Manningham Mayor in 2022/23.
“I have grown up in Manningham, in Council Street, and the opportunity to again lead this City in public service is truly amazing,” Cr Diamante said.
“I want Manningham to continue to be a great place to live, learn and grow. I want my children to want to live here and want to raise their families here.”
Cr Diamante said some of her key priorities over the next year will include advocating for the Manningham community on the North East Link Project, working with local multicultural communities, supporting the work of our healthy ageing unit and enhancing opportunities for local businesses.
“I look forward to collaborating with all of our Councillors in developing our Council Plan, the Budget and our strategic approach for Manningham, harnessing our extensive expertise and experience for our community.”
Cr Andrew Conlon was elected as Deputy Mayor and congratulated Cr Diamante.
“This is an important year to set the tone for our Council term and I know you will support us to collaborate and make the right decisions for our community,” Cr Conlon said.
