Street sweeping

… Find out about our street sweeping program in Manningham Tags Parking, Roads and Footpaths Roads and …

Under the Road Management Act 2004, we are responsible for street sweeping on local roads within Manningham to remove a build-up of fallen leaves and rubbish.

Why do we need street sweeping?

Street sweeping prevents the influx of leaf fall and litter from entering the underground drainage system potentially causing blockages, subsequent flooding and damaging the environment.

Litter not collected often ends up washing into open watercourses and into local creeks and the Yarra River.

Sweeping also benefits the overall amenity of the street, removes the build-up of dirt and leaves and reduces weeds along the kerb and channel.

What areas does Council sweep?

Council is responsible for maintaining 608km of local roads within Manningham.

Our street sweeping program includes:

sealed roads with kerb and channel
car parks and underpasses
laneways and footpaths within Council maintained shopping precincts.

The Department of Transport and Planning (VicRoads) is responsible for maintaining the arterial road network.

When is street sweeping done?

Street sweeping is run throughout the year to keep our streets clean. We increase the frequency in a number of streets during Autumn when there is more leaf litter on the roads. Shopping precincts and key locations are given high priority.

Area	Schedule*
Local roads within residential areas	Every eight to twelve weeks
Footpaths and laneways within shopping precincts	Fortnightly
Car parks within shopping precincts	4 to 5 times per week
Car parks within our parks and reserves	Monthly

Underpasses	Every two months
Streets subject to heavy leaf fall during autumn	Monthly

*This schedule is indicative.

We also respond to urgent sweeping requests such as storm events and traffic incidents.

What if my street needs sweeping?

Frequently asked questions

Who can light fires and conduct open air burning

I live on land less than 2,501 square metres. Can I light a fire?

There has been no change to current laws. On land of this size a fire can only be lit for the purposes of warmth and food preparation.

You must comply with the General Provisions for burning as listed in Clause 33 of the Local Law.

I live on land greater than 2,501 square metres. Can I light a fire?

The change to the Local Law means properties that are 2,501 square metres and larger will no longer require a permit for open air burning provided certain conditions are met.

These conditions are contained in Local Law Clause 34.

Please note that the existing provision which applies to properties located to the west of Mullum Mullum Creek still limits open air burning to the months of May, October and November.
As the person lighting the fire you must ensure you comply with ALL the requirements set out in the Local Law in Clause 33 and 34.

You will still need to give notice to Triple Zero Victoria prior to the burn (Prevents unnecessary response from fire brigades).

I live on a property west of Mullum Mullum Creek on a site with an area greater than 2500 sqm. Can I conduct open air burning for fuel reduction purposes?

Yes.
You can carry out open air burning but only during the months of May, October and November.

You must also comply with Clause 33 and Clause 34 of the Manningham Community Local Law.

I want to conduct open air burning but can’t comply with the requirements as set out in Clause 34

Open Air Burning outside these regulations will require landowners to obtain a permit from Council before burning off.

Can I light a fire for warmth or to cook food in my back yard?

Yes.

You can light a fire for warmth or to cook on your property. You must comply with the General Provisions for burning as listed in Clause 33 of the Local Law.

Can I light a fire on Council land, such as a reserve, nature strip or road reserve?

No.

You are not permitted to light any fires on Council land, Crown Land or public place without first getting written approval.

See Clause 32 of the Manningham Community Local Law.

Can I conduct an open air burn on my land to reduce fuel loads (vegetation) and prepare my property for the summer?

Yes.
Make sure you meet all the requirements of Clause 33 and Clause 34 of Manningham Community Local Law.

What are the requirements around burning?

Can I let my fire burn overnight if I'm burning off on my land?

No.

If you want your fire to burn overnight, you will need to get a Permit to conduct an Open-Air Burn from Council before you begin burning off.

Can I burn off during the declared fire danger period?

No.

The Community Local Law prohibits open air burning during the fire danger period.

However, the Country Fire Authority (CFA) may issue a Permit under the Country Fire Authority Act.

Yes.

You must put your fire out if Council, a member of Victoria Police, Country Fire Authority (CFA) or Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) tells you to.

See Clause 35 of the Manningham Community Local Law 2023.

Permit to burn

How do I know if I am eligible for a permit to burn?

There may be circumstances whereby Council will issue a permit to burn to landowners that cannot comply with the conditions as listed in Clause 34.

Council gives due regard to the following when assessing permit applications:

The size of the land
That the land is in a designated bushfire risk area
That the burn off is strictly for fire prevention purposes only
The ability of the landowner to remove the vegetation via more appropriate methods
The proximity to neighbouring assets and property and any smoke nuisance

How do I determine the general size of my property?

Contact us to confirm the correct size of your property, so you are aware of the regulations that may apply to your land.

How do I apply for a permit to conduct open air burning?

You can contact Council and we will discuss the application with you.
As part of an application an inspection of the burn site and material to be burnt will need to occur.
If a permit is issued it will only be issued for prescribed date/s.
Where the permit is for vacant land, a fee is required to be paid prior to a permit being issued.
Please allow up to 10 business days for any application to be processed. Note that a longer period may be required should further information be required.

What happens if I want to conduct an open-air burn outside of the provisions as listed in Community Local Law Clause 34?

If you are unable to meet the requirements of this clause, you will need to apply for a Permit to Burn from Manningham Council.

You will need to tell us why you can’t comply with Clause 34 of the Manningham Community Local Law 2023.

Your permit application will be assessed by an officer, including an inspection of the land.

Where a Permit to Burn is to be issued, it will be issued with specific conditions and only for a set time frame.

Can I light a fire on vacant land without a permit?

No.

A Permit to conduct an Open-Air Burn will need to be applied for from Council.

This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.

Matthew Dunne is an artist and writer living and working in Melbourne, Australia.

The Killing Sink is a response to the deliberate killing of Wedge-Tailed Eagles in Victoria. Using the trial of Murray James Silvester, who pleaded guilty to killing over 400 eagles, as a starting point, the project traces the history of the practice, the animals killed and the geography of the crimes.

The Killing Sink acts as both a public celebration of eagles and a eulogy for what’s been taken, focusing on how we relate to the nature around us. Part true crime and part psychogeography, The Killing Sink asks what has been lost and how far have we really come?
