Increasing pedestrian movement
We plan the construction of our city’s footpaths, shared paths and trails by identifying the routes that pedestrians use more often on their journeys.
We use community feedback and other key areas to identify this network and locate where new footpaths are needed and plan for their construction.
Works to build a new footpath are prioritised by:
- the pedestrian demand
- the type of road
- its location relative to various facilities within the community
- the proximity to public transport.
Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.

Ausome Hoops delivers weekly programs to kids on the spectrum, providing a safe, inclusive space where they can learn how to play basketball free from the judgment from others that may be present in mainstream sports programs.
The program was created after Phoebe McShane saw a lack of Autism-Inclusive sport programs available for her younger brother. His experiences saw him struggle to stick to a sport for more than 6 months due to the lack of knowledge and support from coaches and peers. He had tried just about every sport offered in their area but hadn’t found the right fit. And from here, Ausome Hoops was born!
Bulleen Boomers have been running Ausome Hoops for three years now, positively impacting the lives of not only the participants, but their families as well.
“Ausome Hoops is the best part of our week! My son loves the sessions, and I can sit back and relax, knowing he is in great hands. I used to help with him in the sessions when he first started, but he is so confident now that I can step away and just enjoy watching him!”

… Islander flags and Welcome to Country from the March Council Meeting On this page Council Meetings How council works … Mayor Message: Response to petition regarding …
Article Content
Last night, 25 March, a petition to remove from permanent display the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags from all Manningham flagpoles and the cessation of holding a Welcome to Country ceremony and statement of the Acknowledgement of Country before any Council meeting or function, with 12 signatures was tabled at the Council meeting. The Council vote was to enable the petition to be tabled, and it did not provide any position on the matter.
In accordance with our Council meeting procedures, all petitions are formally tabled at the meeting, and Council votes to receive it.
Manningham Council's use of the Welcome To Country ceremony, statement of Acknowledgement of Country and the flying of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags are strategic elements of our Council Plan, endorsed Manningham Reconciliation Action Plan and Flying Flags In The Civic Precinct Policy; and designed to provide a roadmap for Manningham's own commitment to reconciliation.
No decision has been made to change this current endorsed position.
Valuing free speech means listening to different views regardless of whether we agree or disagree with a position.
In line with our commitment to transparency and our standard procedures, we will respond to the lead petitioner and include that response in the Agenda papers for the April Council Meeting.
