What is an accessible parking permit?

Formerly called a disabled parking permit, an Accessible Parking Permit (APP) is for drivers or passengers with a disability. It's also for organisations helping transport people with disabilities.

The Victorian Government introduced the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme to help make a simpler and more consistent process.

All councils across the state will use the same application process. This aligns with the Australian Disability Parking Permit Scheme.
 

What improvements have been made to the process?

  • temporary permits will be available for six, 12 or 24 month periods

  • permanent permits will be valid for five years rather than three years

  • the introduction of a permanent disability classification, so functional assessments aren’t required for future permit renewals

  • a single and secure state wide permit design that will reduce permit misuse

  • the inclusion of occupational therapists as assessors and GPs

  • permits for organisations will continue to be available for 12 month period.
     

Which types of permits can you apply for? 

There are two types of permits available:

  • Australian disability parking permit (ADP) - allows you to park in:

    • an accessible parking bay for the specified time limit. 

    • a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.

  • Victorian double time accessible parking permit – allows you to park in:

    • a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.  

A GP or occupational therapist functional assessment will decide on whether to issue a permit and the permit type.

Government partners Australia Council for the Arts The Visual Arts and Craft Strategy … Skills and the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, Contemporary Touring Initiative. Angela …
This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.

JamFactory ICON Angela Valamanesh: About being here is Angela Valamanesh’s exploration into the interconnectedness of life on earth – between human, animal, and plant beings. This life view, first felt intuitively by the artist; is reinforced through her ongoing research at leading libraries and scientific institutions both in Australia and abroad. 

“I believe that art like science can help teach us about who we are, what we are made of and in doing so show us the importance of recognising that we are part of a whole.” Angela Valamanesh

Inspired by the symbiosis between science and poetry, Angela Valamanesh’s artworks elicit intrigue and a strong sense of personal investigation as she manipulates seemingly familiar anatomical, botanical, and parasitic forms in beguiling and unusual ways.

Primarily known for her biomorphic ceramic sculptures, this exhibition also celebrates the artist’s evocative drawings, watercolours, and mixed media works from her developing style of the late 1990s until present.

Historically, links have been made between the human form and plant species, not only structurally but also through language: the family tree, our roots, or a severed limb, while early medicine made connections between plants that resembled parts of our bodies and their therapeutic effects on those body parts.

About the exhibition

JamFactory’s Icon series celebrates the achievements of South Australia’s most influential artists working in craft-based media.

JamFactory ICON Angela Valamanesh: About being here will tour to 14 venues nationally and is accompanied by a 40-page catalogue featuring images by Michael Kluvanek with essays by Dr. Mike Lee and Wendy Walker.

About the artist

Angela Valamanesh was born in Port Pirie, South Australia in 1953 and currently lives and works in Adelaide. Angela holds a Diploma in Design in Ceramics from the South Australian School of Art (1977), a Master of Visual Arts from the University of South Australia (1993), and a PhD from the University of South Australia (2012).

Her drawings, ceramic objects, and watercolours are the result of an incredible depth of research, referencing complex scientific, historic, and philosophical ideas. Angela’s imagery stems from micro- and macro- biology, historical anatomical and botanical illustrations, natural history collections, and rare books.

Valamanesh’s oeuvre is populated with the animal, vegetable, and mineral with glimpses of microbes, bacteria, pathogens, and spores. Valamanesh’s works elicit ambiguity and present a strong sense of personal investigation. In the artist’s own words:

“It is important that the work is not prescriptive but offers the viewer the opportunity of personal engagement with the work and time to reflect on their own personal experiences.”

Instrumental in Valamanesh’s bourgeoning visual arts practice was her Samstag Scholarship undertaken at the Glasgow School of Art. This residency resulted in the seminal work For a long while there were only plants, 1997, and is the point of departure for this exhibition. This artwork – a watercolour, pen and ink work on paper and dipped in wax – is a repository for images and ideas that have fuelled Valamanesh’s practice ever since.

Before embarking on building, renovating, tree removal/lopping or any other works, it is important to ascertain whether you require a permit.

Why do you need to get planning and building approval?

Planning permits and building permits serve different purposes.  

A planning permit is required to ensure that your project complies with the relevant zoning and overlay controls applicable to your property and to ensure that your project considers its impact on the surrounding area with respect to character, built form and materials, surrounding neighbours, traffic, environmental impacts and community need. 

A building permit focuses on the technical aspects of construction and safety ensuring that your project complies with the relevant building codes and regulations.

Links to the relevant controls are:

The Planning and Environment Act 1987

The purpose of this Act is to establish a framework for planning the use, development and protection of land in Victoria.  The Act sets out procedures for preparing and amending the Victoria Planning Provisions and planning schemes. It also sets out the process for obtaining permits under schemes, settling disputes, enforcing compliance with planning schemes and permits, and other administrative procedures.

Manningham Planning Scheme

The Manningham Planning Scheme sets out objectives, policies and controls for the use, development and protection of land for our entire municipality. The planning scheme guides how land can be used or developed though zoning controls (e.g. commercial or residential) and what other activities can be undertaken on the land (e.g. constructing a new apartment building or units, childcare or medical centre, restaurant/cafe serving liquor, display of business signage, or works to a heritage building).

National Construction Code (NCC) 2019

The NCC provides the minimum necessary requirements for health and safety, amenity and accessibility, and sustainability in the design, construction, performance and liveability of new buildings (and new building work in existing buildings) throughout Australia.

Building Regulations 2018

The Building Regulations 2018 (the Regulations) came into effect on 2 June 2018. The Regulations are a subordinate legislation of the Building Act and contain, among other things, requirements relating to:

  • building permits
  • building inspections
  • occupancy permits
  • enforcement
  • maintenance of buildings.

The Regulations adopt the Building Code of Australia (BCA), which is part of the National Construction Code.

Building Act 1993

The Building Act 1993 (the Act) sets out the framework for the regulation of building construction, building standards and the maintenance of specific building safety features.

The objectives of the Act are to:

  • protect the safety and health of people who use buildings and places of public entertainment
  • improve the amenity of buildings.

What types of projects need a permit?

Here are some common projects that need approval - contact us even if your project is not listed here:

  • multi-dwelling developments and apartments
  • construction of a new single dwelling or dwelling extension
  • buildings and works, including some internal changes to a building
  • demolition/partial demolition and new works to buildings in a Heritage Overlay
  • garages, carports, sheds, pergolas, decks, verandahs
  • removing trees and vegetation
  • new land uses such as a childcare centre, medical centre etc...
  • earthworks
  • Septic tanks
  • tennis courts
  • swimming pools and spas
  • fencing
  • business identification signage on a building or property
  • subdivision of land
  • covenant removal/variations
  • liquor license for a restaurant/cafe
  • consent for any works or tree removal and the like if your land has a Section 173 agreement.
  • tables and chairs and/or signage on the footpath
  • asset protection

You have a dream project - where to start

New to building or renovation?

For advice on all things renovation and construction, visit the Victorian Building Authority (VBA).

 

Every dream project is different with its own needs and challenges. Here are the steps to give you a rough guide on the process, timeframes and costs when starting any project.

  1. Contact us to discuss your project with us to confirm if you need a planning permit

    You can also view:

    If you don't need a planning permit you can proceed straight to building permit

  2. If we confirm that you need a planning permit, start the application


    After you apply you can also

  3. Get a building permit before you start construction


    We do not issue building permits so you will need to contact a building surveyor to organise a building permit.

    You will need the permit to ensure what you're hoping to construct or change is done right and to building code standards. 

  4. Apply for any other permits you need before you start works

    You may need permits for connecting to infrastructure, protection of public assets and more. Often you will find out which permits you need throughout the process, so it is always best to discuss your plans with us or industry professionals. 

    Some common permits include:

How you can reduce your waste this festive season
… How you can reduce your waste this festive season The choices … Protecting our environment All News Waste and Recycling … How you can reduce your waste this festive season …
Article Content

Regardless of which holidays you celebrate; the festive season is a time when we often come together and it’s important to remember that sustainability never takes a holiday. The choices we make during this time have a profound impact on the environment, so here are a couple of tips to make this festive season more sustainable.

Plan your menu

Each year, Victorian households throw away 250,000 tonnes of food. That’s the equivalent weight of 100 Aquarena outdoor swimming pools! The reality is, about one third of all food produced for human consumption becomes waste. Luckily, reducing the amount of food we waste doesn’t need to be difficult, it just takes a bit of planning. 

Firstly, shop at local markets. Buying local produce is generally fresher, lasts longer, has less embodied energy and is usually free of packaging, meaning that you can purchase the quantity you need and reduce your waste from the source. 

Secondly, storing food correctly can also go a long way to reducing the amount of waste you create. Placing food in airtight containers and organising your fridge and pantry can help prevent unwanted spoilage. Too many leftovers? Try freezing them (if it’s safe to do so) or try new recipes that incorporate your leftovers. Not only does this reduce food waste, but it’s also a great way to discover new recipes! 

And lastly, if you must dispose of your food waste, ensure you are using your FOGO bin correctly so that it can be turned into nutrient rich compost.  

Dine wisely

In addition to food, we also produce a lot of waste when cooking and eating. Avoid disposable tableware such as plates, cups and cutlery as most of these can’t be recycled, and instead opt for reusable alternatives and wash them at the end of the day. Did you know you can also make your own bon bons from fabric napkins and a little bit of string? 

It wouldn’t be a summer festive season without a barbeque. If you must use disposable cookware, remember to choose aluminium trays and foil as these can be placed in your yellow lid recycling bin, even if there is a small amount of burnt-on food or oil. Simply remove food scraps and scrunch them into a ball.

Gift consciously

The most sustainable gifts are those that will be used. Making a conscious effort to give your family and friends items that they will actually use is a great way to reduce the amount of waste you contribute to this festive season. Consider shopping for second hand items at op shops or online marketplaces to divert other items from landfill and save some money in the process.

Wrap smart

Now that you’ve got your sustainable gifts organised, you need to wrap them. Did you know Australians use 150,000 km of wrapping paper over the festive season? That’s almost enough to circle the earth four times over! We can significantly reduce the amount of waste we create by ‘wrapping’ gifts in reusable bags or fabric. 

If you must wrap with paper, ensure that it is recyclable because not all wrapping paper can be put in your kerbside recycling bin. You can place any gift wraps made from kraft paper or recycled paper in your yellow lid recycling bin, although you cannot place any wrapping paper made from foil or with other items stuck to them (such as ribbons or bows). Paper cards can also be recycled, but not those embellished with glitter or foil – these must be placed in your red lid garbage bin.

There are many ways to make this festive season a more sustainable one. By making thoughtful decisions and considering the broader impact of your choices, you can celebrate in a way that honours both tradition and the environment.

If you are confused about what to do with an item this festive season, visit our webpage on how to dispose your items.

Property valuation
… Find out how your property is valued and how to submit an objection if you believe the valuation is incorrect. Tags About Council Rates and valuations Apply … Property valuation …

The valuation process

All properties in Victoria are valued on 1 January each year.

Valuations are not done by councils. Valuations are completed by certified practising valuers on behalf of the Valuer-General Victoria (VGV). 

Valuations are then provided to councils to use for the calculation of rates. 

 

How valuers calculate property valuations

Valuers must return three valuations of each property which are:

  • Capital Improved Value (CIV).
  • Site Value, which relates to the market value of land only.
  • Net Annual Value, which is the current value of the property’s net annual rent. This is set at five per cent for residential properties, but could be higher for commercial assessments.

For more information about property valuations, please go to the Victorian Government's website.

How to lodge a valuation objection

If you believe that the valuation does not reflect market value of your property at 1 January of the relevant year, you may lodge an objection. 

For more information about lodging an objection, please go to the Victorian Government's Rating valuation objections portal.

  1. Prepare your documentation

    Prior to lodging an objection, you will need to have a current annual valuation and rates notice or a supplementary valuation and rates notice. 

    • The annual valuation and rates notice is issued in August each year.
    • Supplementary valuation notices are issued during the year if there is a change to your valuation. 

    Your objection must be submitted within two months of the issue date of the valuation and rates notice.

    The issue date is located in the top right hand corner of your Rate Notice above the property ID

  2. Lodge an objection

    To make an objection:

    Please contact us if you require a hardcopy form.

  3. Continue to pay your instalment

    You will still need to pay your rate instalment.

    You are still required to pay the rate instalment/s by the due date/s, even if you have lodged a formal valuation objection. 

    If payment is not made by the due date/s, you will incur penalty interest charges.

  4. Amendments to the rate amount

    If there is an adjustment to the valuation, there will be an amendment to the rate amount and you will receive a refund if there is a credit.

You can find out the statutory requirements and obligations within the Valuation of Land Act 1960 and the Valuation of Land Regulations 2014.

Join us and learn more about new public art in Doncaster and take part in an all-ages art activity.

As part of the Ayr St South shopping strip upgrade, a ground mural will be designed and installed by artist Tom Civil.

Tom will share his designs at Greythorn Bowls Club in an information session for the community, where you can meet the artist and discuss his ideas.

The information session will be followed by an all-ages art activity, where you will design your own footpath mural. Use the materials provided to work collaboratively, or own your own to create an artwork for your street.

  • Information session / meet the artist: 11.00am to 12.30pm
  • Art Activity: 1.00pm to 2.30pm

Morning and afternoon tea will be provided

About the artist

Tom Civil is an artist, muralist, community art facilitator and printmaker. 

Tom has been making art in the streets of Melbourne for over 18 years, and has painted over 30 commissioned murals across town in the last ten years.

Tom's ground artworks reference through the language of mapping and symbology, our connection to nature in a heavily urbanised and concrete and asphalt covered world. The ground artworks also allow us to day-dream about how the places we live were in the past, and how they could be in the future. They also create fun interactive play moments in our daily lives.

Voting in an election
… Find out how to enrol and vote in Manningham council elections. Tags About Council Councillors … Voting in an election …

Enrolments for the 2024 local council elections are now closed.

 

Voting process

Voting in council elections is by post

You’ll receive a ballot pack that contains ballot papers by mail. The packs will have instructions and information about the candidates. Don’t worry if you don’t receive a ballot pack at the same time as someone you live with. They’re posted in random order to enrolled voters.

What to do if you’ve changed your address

If you’ve changed address after the close of the roll or can’t collect your ballot pack, you can request a redirect to your new address. To request a redirect, make sure it’s done before nominations have closed. You can make a request for an early postal vote after nominations have closed if you have a good reason.

In what order do the names of the candidates appear?

A single, random draw determines in which order names will appear on a ballot. The election manager conducts the draw at the election officer after the close of nominations. The election manager will tell the candidates the time of the draw.

You occupy a rateable property in Manningham and you are liable to pay the rates.

Corporation

You are either a director or secretary of a corporation which pays rates in Manningham. You consent in writing to be appointed and are not already enrolled through appointment by another corporation.

Enrolments for the 2024 local council elections are now closed.


Enrol to vote in Federal elections

To find out about options available to help you cast your vote at the next federal election, visit the Australian Electoral Commission website.
 

Enrolment limits

You can only enrol to vote once per council, regardless of whether you are a resident, ratepayer or corporation representative. You must be 18 years or older on election day to be enrolled.

A property can have any number of State residents enrolled at a single address. A property can also have up to two joint owner ratepayers and up to two joint occupier ratepayers enrolled in respect of each property by council. In practice this means a property could have up to four council electors in addition to any number of State residents.

A corporation may only exercise the right of entitlement once in any municipal district, regardless of how many properties it owns or occupies or jointly owns or occupies in the municipal district. A corporation may only appoint one representative to enrol for this property.

Pay or transfer landscape bond
… permit. We ask for payment of bonds to ensure landscaping works is properly completed. Pay Property and Development … …

Suspension of Landscape Bond Payments

Please be advised that as of 2 March 2022, payment of Landscape Bonds is currently suspended. We are not currently accepting payment, and any applications currently awaiting the payment of a landscape bond will be processed without payment. This includes assessment of any plans submitted for endorsement.

 

What is a landscape bond?

A landscape bond is a condition of a planning permit. As part of an approved development, we ask for a payment of a bond to ensure that landscaping works are satisfactorily completed.

 

When would we ask for a bond payment?

Not all permits require the payment of a bond. If a permit has a condition requiring payment of a bond, payment must be made before we process any plans for endorsement.

Anyone can pay a landscape bond, though it is usually paid by the developer or property owner. The person, business or company who pays the bond will receive your money back once you have completed the development and landscaping satisfactorily.

 

How much does it cost?

Bonds are generally charged based on the number of dwellings in a development. Calculation rates may be different for major developments such as apartments and non-residential buildings.

Bonds required as part of permits issued after 1 July 2019 are also subject to a non-refundable administration fee.

View our full list of fees

 

How to pay

As of 2 March 2022, payment of Landscape Bonds is currently suspended. We are not currently accepting payment, and any applications currently awaiting the payment of a landscape bond will be processed without payment. This includes assessment of any plans submitted for endorsement.

 

If you need to update your details on a bond you have paid for

If there is a change of ownership of a property, you will need to update the details of who will receive the bond refund or the contact details of the bond owner.

To update bond details, download and complete a landscape bond transfer of details form below. 

When submitting a form make sure to include all of the following:

  • signatures of all parties involved in the transfer
  • supporting identification documents
  • contracts of sale if there has been a change of ownership.

Make sure to review the checklist on the form so you will know what information you will need to provide.

We cannot issue bond refunds as part of a transfer request

We will only refund a bond after satisfactory completion of landscaping works. If there is a transfer of property to a new owner, the parties will need to settle privately the transfer of funds for the bond.

 

Getting your bond back

If you want a refund of a landscape bond after the completion of a development, you can request a post-construction inspection.

You will get your bond refunded after the completion of 2 satisfactory inspections. The second inspection will take place 13 weeks after the first one to ensure you’ve maintained the landscaping.

You can request a refund of a bond after the expiry of the permit. We will only give you a refund in a situation where we can’t extend a permit. This is generally 6 months after the expiry date.

Contact us to request a release of a bond for an expired permit.

State Government Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund levy

The Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund (ESVF) levy is a new Victorian Government levy (replacing the Fire Services Property levy) which was introduced on 1 July, 2025. This charge is set by the State Government. Council is required to collect this levy and pass it on directly to the State. These charges are shown separately under the State Government Charges section of your rate notice. 

The local government sector has been advocating for the levy to be collected by the State Revenue Office, not Council. These efforts have been unsuccessful, and this is why it now appears on your Rate Notice. 

Understanding the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund Levy

What if I just pay my 'rates' amount?

Under legislation, Councils are obligated to collect this State Government levy on behalf of the State Government and cannot use a separate invoice to collect the levy.

We have heard the suggestion to “just don’t pay the new levy”. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.  Council must proportionally allocate any payments received towards all Council and State Government charges.  This means that if you only pay the 'rates' amount, you will still be in arrears for both rates and the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund levy.

Ratepayers who do not pay the levy may be subject to Council’s debt collection process. Possible interest charges may be incurred on the outstanding amount. 

Who can I talk to about the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund levy?

Council do not have any power to stop charging this levy or make any changes. If you would like further information or would like to provide feedback, please contact the State Government. You can visit https://sro.vic.gov.au/esvf for more information, or call the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund support line on 1300 819 033. 

 

Need more time to pay your rates notice?

If you are experiencing financial difficulty or hardship you may be eligible to apply for rates payment assistance.

Do you hold a concession card?

If you hold a valid concession card, you may be eligible to apply for a rebate.

Learn more

 

Request a refund

If you have made an overpayment on your rates notice and they are in credit. The credit will remain on your account and be automatically applied to your future instalments. However, we can also refund that credit back to you.

Request refund


Interest on rates

If you do not pay your rates by the due date, you may be charged interest. 

We can only waive the interest if we have made an error or under exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances include: 

  • Compassionate grounds – ratepayers may have interest waived where they have demonstrated compassionate grounds for a payment being late. Acceptable compassionate grounds would generally relate to a family illness or death. 
  • Financial hardship – ratepayers may have interest or part interest waived where they have demonstrated that the payment of such interest would cause severe financial hardship.

The role of a Councillor
… Getting involved with your local council is a great way to make a difference in the community. Find out how you can become a Councillor. Tags About Council … The role of a Councillor …

Getting involved with your local council is a great way to make a difference in the community. Anyone can be a Councillor if they’re:

  • an Australian citizen
  • an eligible British subject
  • enrolled to vote in Manningham.

Being a Councillor isn’t a full-time job. Councillors do have to go to meetings and briefing sessions held out of normal business hours. They’re also required to attend committees or serve on external committees as a representative.

 

The duties of a Councillor

The definition of a Councillor in the Local Government Act 2020 is a person who:

  • participates in the decision making of the Council
  • represents the interests of the municipal community in that decision making.

Councillors also contribute to strategic decision. They help develop and review key strategic documents and the Council Plan.

 

A Councillor must put the interests of their community first

A Councillor must:

  • consider the diversity of interests and needs of the community
  • support the role of the Council
  • acknowledge and support the role of the Mayor
  • act lawfully and in accordance with the oath or affirmation of office
  • act in accordance with the standards of conduct
  • comply with Council procedures required for good governance.

Councillors don’t have the same duties or responsibilities as a Chief Executive Officer.
 

How much time is required to be a Councillor?

Being a Councillor is not a full-time job. Most Councillors are in full-time employment and perform their Councillor duties in their own time.

Councillors are required to:

  • attend Council meetings and briefing sessions held out of normal business hours
  • attend various Council committees
  • serve on external committees as a Council representative.

Most, but not all of these meetings, are held after 6.00pm.
 

Do Councillors receive an allowance?

The Mayor and Councillors receive an allowance for performing their duties. The Victorian Government sets the levels for allowances paid to Councillors.

Current allowances

The Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal has responsibility for determining the level of allowances.  The current yearly allowances, as of 18 December 2023, are:

  • $130,390 for the Mayor
  • $65,195 for the Deputy Mayor
  • $39,390 for a Councillor. 

View the most recent Allowance report.

Superannuation

There is also a requirement for an amount equivalent to the superannuation guarantee under Commonwealth taxation legislation (currently 9.5 per cent) to be paid in addition to the allowance.

Expenses

Councillors are entitled to be reimbursed for any necessary out-of-pocket expenses they incur whilst performing their duties. The Council Expenses Policy guides the reimbursement of Councillor Expenses.

Council reports annually to the community on their reimbursements.
