Manningham's Backyard Diversity Series
… Learn all about Manningham’s unique local wildlife and environment with TV … from Wild Action. Tags Environment and Sustainability … Manningham's Backyard Diversity Series …

Learn all about Manningham’s unique local wildlife and environment with TV Zoologist Chris Humfrey from Wild Action, ‘The Zoo That Comes to You’.

Chris has presented a series of 30 short videos across two series that will introduce you to a range of native animals which call Manningham home. The first series introduces the backyard diversity of our resident fauna, the second series addresses the impact of litter on the homes and habitats of the local wildlife.

Series 1: Manningham's Backyard Diversity

Video 1: Introducing Manningham's backyard diversity.

You will be amazed by what lives in Manningham and maybe even your backyard. You will learn about our incredible local biodiversity and how we can all play an important role in the protection of our native species and our local fragile environment.

 

Video 2: Short-Beaked Echidna

Echidnas can be shy, but are found in many areas of Manningham where there is enough native habitat for them to roam in. The Echidnas home range can be up to 50 hectares. Echidnas like to burrow into the soil, hide under vegetation and shelter in hollow logs, rock crevices and in burrows. They need lots of understory habitat that can provide them with their food including ants and termites.

 

Video 3: Southern Boobook Owl

The Southern Boobook is the smallest owl in Manningham and makes a distinctive 'boo-book' or 'mo-poke' call. As with many of our local species The Southern Boobook's needs tree hollows to nest in. The Southern Boobook feeds on insects, small mammals (such as the House Mouse, Mus musculus) and other small animal species. 

 

 

Video 4: Swamp Wallaby

The Swamp Wallaby is a shy animal that usually live alone. They can be found in places where there is thick habitat for them to hide in.  The Swamp Wallaby feeds on a variety of plants including introduced and native shrubs, grasses and ferns. They are regularly spotted early in the morning along our local creeks and the Yarra River habitat corridors where there is plenty thick scrub for them to hide in during the day. 

 

Video 5: Sugar Glider

Sugar gliders are tree-dwelling marsupials gliding possums found across Manningham. They can glide up to 50 metres in one trip with their “wings” made up of thin stretched skin between their forefinger and back ankle, During flight they use their bushy tails as rudders as they soar through the air. The Sugar Glider is most active at night, sleeping by day in nests made of leaves in tree hollows. The biggest threat to Sugar Gliders are cats. It is important to bring your cat inside so they don’t eat our native bird, possums and other native animal species. 

 

Video 6: Ringtail Possum

Ringtail Possums get their name from their long white prehensile tail. They are not as noisy as Brushtail Possums, and make a soft, high-pitched twittering call. Ringtail Possums are at risk from cats, dogs, foxes, traffic, and also electrocution from powerlines. Possums are also at risk from the removal of habitat due to human development. It is illegal to catch and release possums into areas more than 50 m away from where they were caught as they do not often survive relocation. You can help local wildlife by keeping big trees in your backyard as they provide tree hollows for native animals like possums, birds, bats and gliders to nest in.

 

Video 7: Blotched Blue Tongue Lizard

Blue-tongues usually live in open country with lots of ground cover such as tussock grass or leaf litter. They shelter at night under large objects on the ground such as rocks and logs. During cold weather they remain inactive, buried deep in their shelter sites, but on sunny days they may emerge to bask. Unfortunately, blue-tongues will eat snails and slugs poisoned by snail baits and can be poisoned themselves. They rapidly become used to human activity, and may live in the same place for many years. Rockeries and cavities under houses are favourite hiding places. Many residents and schools create lizard lounges to provide habitat for bluetongue lizards and skinks. All you need are some rocks, ground cover and a sunny place for lizards to bask in and call home.

 

Video 8: Tawny Frogmouth

The Tawny Frogmouth is nocturnal and is often mistaken as an owl. They are however more closely related to the nightjars. Their beaks are designed to catch insects such as cicadas and beetles and the occasional mouse, rat or frog. Unlike owls, the Tawny Frogmouth is a poor flyer and will sit quietly for its prey to approach. Tawny Frogmouths love mature trees to roost and camouflage in during the day like a stringybark trees where they can be almost invisible. Tawny Frogmouth families stay together giving many local residents generations of the same family in their backyard. Protecting big old trees are a great way to encourage a Tawny Frogmouth to your backyard. The call of a Tawny Frogmouth is very distinctive and is often described as a spooky low pitched ooom ooom sound.

 

Video 9: Koala

The koala is one of the most recognizable Australian animals. A tree-climbing marsupial, a small remnant population of koalas survived in Manningham as recently as 2015 (the last known recording of a koala in Manningham). It is thought the loss of Koalas in Manningham was mainly due to habitat loss, disease, dog attacks and road accidents. Koalas are fussy eaters and only eat a few types of eucalypt leaves. Manna Gums which are found along Manningham’s waterways are the most favoured. There is now a renewed effort by local Landcare groups and concerned residents to create more koala habitat in hope that they will return to our municipality. If you do see a Koala in Manningham, record the location and contact Manningham Council. Citizen Science is a great way to record information on our local natural environment. 

 

 

Video 10: Laughing Kookaburra

The Laughing Kookaburra is common across Manningham where there are suitable trees. They have one of the most iconic calls in the Australian bush. The kookaburra feed mostly on insects, worms and crustaceans, although small snakes, mammals, frogs and birds may also be eaten. Kookaburras can pair for life and their nest is a naturally occurring tree hollow. Both sexes share the incubation duties and both care for the young. Kookaburras can become quite tame around humans and will readily accept scraps of meat. Similar to live prey, this 'pre-processed' food is still beaten against a perch before swallowing.

 


 

Video 11: Manningham Kangaroo

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo is an important part of Manningham's natural ecosystems. They promote the regeneration of native plants and reduce the fuel load in forests and grasslands. They are regularly seen in our conservation parks including Currawong, Westerfolds and Mount Lofty parks. They rest amongst shady trees during the day and move out to graze from late afternoon to early morning. Their fur is light grey colour making then perfectly camouflaged in our local woody grasslands. A baby kangaroo or ‘joey’ is raised in the pouch until it becomes independent at about 18 months of age.

 

Video 12: Centipede

Centipedes are common in Manningham and can be found under logs, in leaf litter or under rocks and bark. Centipedes are nocturnal and hunt their prey at night time. Centipedes are myriapods not insects, as they have more than six legs. Centipedes and other ‘minibeasts’ including spiders, ants, termites, butterflies, bees and other small animals play a vital role in any ecosystem. They are eaten by bigger animals in the food chain, help to pollinate plants and eat dead and decaying matter which recycles the nutrients back into the soil and ecosystem.

Video 13: Lace Monitor

Lace Monitors were once common in Manningham, however due to habitat loss they are now very rare. They need tall open Eucalyptus woodlands to live. There are occasional sightings of Lace Monitors in Manningham’s Green Wedge usually between September to December when they are on the move. If you go for a walk through bushland during the cooler months of the year, watch where you step, Lace Monitors spend much of this time hiding under logs or rocks, or inside hollow tree stumps. If you do see a Lace Monitor please take a photo, record the location and contact Manningham Council. Citizen Science is a great way to record information on our local natural environment.  

 

 

Video 14: Gang Gang Cockatoo

Gang-gang Cockatoos visit backyards and parks in Manningham and feed on eucalyptus and wattles.  Male Gang-gang Cockatoos are easily distinguished by their wispy red crest, which looks like a feather duster. Plant locally native plants that Gang-gang Cockatoos can eat from, such as sheoaks (casuarinas), eucalyptus, and wattles. Be careful of low perched or low flying Gang-gangs when driving in areas with many trees, especially near hawthorn shrubs. Don’t forget to participate in the Citizen Science program: Aussie Backyard Bird Count in October.

 

Video 15: Barn Owl

Barn Owls are found right across Manningham and are silent hunters of the night eating mice, rats and snakes. Their heart-shaped face and asymmetrical ears help the owl to use even the slightest sound to pinpoint their prey even in complete darkness. Barn owls need old growth trees to nest in. These trees provide large hollows with the nest sometimes up to 10m inside the tree. Don't use rat poisons that cause secondary killings. Owls are natural predators of rodents but if an owl eats a rat that has ingested this poison, it can die too. Remember Manningham’s raptor birds (birds of prey) need old growth trees to breed in and hunt for prey.  

 


 

Series 2: Litter Impacts

In this Litter Impacts series, Chris will present 15 short videos that will introduce you to a range of native animals which call Manningham home and how we can protect their home by reducing our litter and appropriately disposing of our waste.

Video 1: Introduction to litter impacts on local wildlife

Manningham is home to an array of incredible and unique native animals. Our litter and waste has a big impact on our wildlife; as it flows into waterways and out into the bay, it can drastically change the water quality or even be mistaken for food.

 

Video 2: Grey Headed Flying Fox

Grey Headed Flying Foxes are the largest bat in Australia, but they’re also a vulnerable species here in our parks and backyards in Manningham. They spread seeds from our trees across Melbourne making sure new trees keep growing. Unfortunately they get caught in our fruit nets, so make sure that once your fruit has finished on your trees you take down your nets to ensure they don’t get tangled.

Video 3: Earthworms

Earthworms are terrific for our backyards and our environment. They move through out soil helping to aerate it and at the same time eat the organic matter turning it into fertilizer for our gardens. Make sure you don’t put harmful chemicals in our soil as it can kill the worms and stop them from keeping our soil healthy.

 

Video 4: Copperhead Snake

Copperhead Snakes can be found basking in the sun in Manningham. They’re highly venomous and should never be touched or picked up, it’s also illegal to kill or harm snakes. They’re very important for our environment, as they eat mice and rats. Unfortunately they cannot move backwards, so if they get trapped in a discarded aluminium can or PVC pipe they can get stuck there and die.

Video 5: Wood Duck

Wood Ducks love our parks and farmland here in Manningham. They eat grass and poo out the seeds to keep the grass growing. Sometimes they mistake cigarette butts for food and the butts can swell in their tummies making the ducks very ill. It’s important that we don’t feed ducks bread as they need to find native food for themselves.

Video 6: Eastern Long Necked Turtle

The Eastern Long Necked Turtle is common in our creeks and rivers in Manningham. They eat snails, dead fish and yabbies, keeping our rivers and creeks clean. Litter is a huge threat to turtles as it can get caught around their limbs and necks, choking them. Fishing line and illegal opera house nets can also kill our turtles, platypus and rakali (water rats) when they get caught in the nets and can’t escape.

Video 7: Buff Breasted Rail

This Buff Breasted Rail is a secretive bird in Manningham, but keep your eyes peeled at Ruffey Lake Park, you might just see them walking around through the reeds. They’re omnivorous, which means that they eat plants and other animals, sometimes they also mistake our litter for food as well. Make sure you pick up litter that you find on the ground, report overflowing bins and litter dumped in our parks, you might just save our local wildlife. 

Video 8: Cattle Egret

Cattle Egrets are known as a cosmopolitan bird, as they’re found all around the world. They love flooded agricultural land and wetlands in Manningham; it’s the perfect place for them to find their food. They’re also directly affected by stormwater pollution and litter, like polystyrene cups that can remain in our environment for up to 600 years. Unfortunately  they see polystyrene or cigarette butts as potential food.

Video 9: Banjo Frog

It might sound like you have a bluegrass band in your backyard at night, but that’s the call of the Banjo Frog. They burrow into our soil with their digging feet and eat all the bugs. Their skin is susceptible to pollution, as that’s how they breathe and drink water. Instead of putting your chemicals down the drain, make sure you dispose of your oils, detergents, paints and other chemicals at a chemical drop off point.

Video 10: Brown Tree Frog

Brown Tree Frogs love hanging out in Manningham. They eat bugs, like pesky mosquitos and flies in our gardens. If you have frogs croaking in your garden, it means you have a healthy place for them to live. Frogs absorb moisture and breathe through their skins, so they’re highly susceptible to pollution in the water. Be careful with what goes down your drains and we can protect our important little frogs.

Video 11: Fresh Water Crayfish

The Yabbies, or Fresh Water Crayfish, love our waterways in Manningham. They grab onto their food with their big claws and propel themselves through the water with their big finned tail. They clean up all of the organic matter in our rivers, creeks and wetlands and keep our waterways healthy. Yabbies are very sensitive to pollution in our rivers and creeks, so be careful with what you wash down the sink and into the stormwater drain. You can dispose your harmful chemicals at a Detox Your Home drop off.

Video 12: Short Finned Eel

The Short Finned Eel is common in our waterways here in Manningham. They’re long, slippery fish that live in our creeks and rivers and they hunt yabbies, insects, worms and fish. When they’re ready to breed, they swim all the way down the Yarra River, out of Port Phillip Bay and breed in the Pacific Ocean! The babies then make their way back to Melbourne and live in our rivers again. It’s up to us to keep our rivers and creeks free of litter to make sure our Eels survive.

Video 13: Little Penguin

Little Penguins are the smallest penguin in the world and they’re found in Port Phillip Bay here in Melbourne. They live on our beaches and eat the fish around our bay. Unfortunately when they lay their eggs on our beaches, they can be easily caught by foxes and cats, so make sure you keep your cat in at night. They also fall victim to plastic waste in our waterways, it can get caught around their necks and choke them, or they could mistake the plastic for food. Please be responsible and dispose of your waste properly.

Video 14: Banjo Ray

Foraging at the bottom of our beautiful Port Phillip Bay is the Banjo Ray. As our waste flows down the Yarra River and into Port Phillip Bay, it comes into the home of our ocean wildlife. Banjo Rays can be harmed by eating the litter that arrives in the bay, so make sure you put your litter into the correct bin and report any litter dumped around Manningham.

Video 15: Pot Bellied Sea Horse

Pot Bellied Sea Horses live in Port Phillip Bay, right at the end of the Yarra River. The Sea Horses eat crustaceans in the bay but they can mistake microplastics for food as well. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic which look like food to our aquatic life they eat it and it often stays in their stomachs and often stays there. Unfortunately this means that when we eat some fish we could be eating microplastics too!  Make sure you dispose of your plastic waste into the correct bin.

市长致辞 

本届联邦选举结束了,我们迎来了今后三年将在国家层面代表我们社区的本地议员。我们期待与他们的合作。

本次选举的结果意味着,在整个 Casey、Deakin 和 Menzies 联邦选区,我们将同时看到新的议员和我们已经熟悉的议员来代表 Manningham。

祝贺 Casey 选区议员 Aaron Violi、Deakin 选区议员 Matt Gregg 和 Menzies 选区议员 Gabriel Ng。

在选举之前,澳大利亚工党对各项位于 Manningham 的计划作出了承诺,包括:

  • 拨款 $25,000,000 用于改善 Warrandyte South 五路路口的安全
  • 拨款 $3,500,000 用于位于 Bulleen 的 Sheahans Reserve Stadium 设施重建
  • 拨款 $187,500 用于维修 Old Warrandyte Fire House
  • 拨款 $50,000 用于支持白马商会举办的亚洲文化节。

这些承诺对我们的社区来说是重大收获。我们期待与本地议员商讨有关这些计划的 
执行时间和责任。

我们将与联邦政府密切合作,交付其他对社区至关重要的关键项目。

其中一个项目是 Aquarena 户外重建。我们期待与 Menzies 选区的新议员合作,并希望联邦资金能在接下来的预算中到位,确保这一重要项目获得必要的支持,为我们的社区带来持久利益。

在竞选期间还筹集了用于升级位于 Park Orchards 的 Domeney Reserve 的资金。改善体育场照明将使得成长中的女队能够延长训练时间,持续不断发展。虽然目前尚无正式承诺,但需求迫切。我们将与我们的新联邦代表合作,明确并确保为社区提供这些重要升级所需的支持。

最后,我们将积极寻求与所有联邦议员对话,继续大力提倡与交通有关的项目,包括 Doncaster Road 沿线的高频巴士道(High Frequency Busway)可行性研究,并鼓励州政府作出于东北连接线(North East Link)项目相关的承诺。

我们是您的市议会,很荣幸代表您发声。

2025 年 4 月 - April 2025

2025 年 4 月

April 2025
市长致辞

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

我们的市议会目前正在制定 2025/26 年度预算和 10 年财务计划。与此同时,我们正面临着重大挑战:支出转移、利用市议会费通知征收州税的问题日益严重。

您是否了解到,州政府正通过各种手段,将各项支出转嫁给市议会,再由此转嫁给您?

在发给您的年度市政费通知上,您会看到一些此类州税的身影。此类州税包括紧急服务税(旧称消防服务税)和垃圾填埋税。

作为市议会,我们并不制定此类费用或征税。然而,我们却受命将这些支出直接转嫁给您——本质上来说,我们不得不充当州政府的收税员。今年,我们将更改 2025/26 年度市政费通知的排版,一面列出市议会收取的费用,另一面则列出州政府征收的税款。

支出转移意味着州政府和其他政府机构将责任下放给市议会,却不提供足够的资金支持市议会履行责任。支出转移包括引入新的费用、计划或规定,或者将资产交移给市议会管理。

州政府要求市议会代表州政府提供重要的社区服务,却不提供足够的资金支持,以此达到支出转移的目的。这导致州政府每年少提供的资金多达数百万澳元。

例如,州政府提供的资金不足以支持当地学校的人行横道监督者,而这些资金能帮助学龄儿童安全过马路。我们在 VicRoads 拥有的 Manningham 主干道上履行草坪修剪、道旁维护的责任,而州政府提供的资金也不足以覆盖市政厅在这些工作上付出的成本。

我们的社区小组(Community Panel)建议减轻纳税人因州政府支出转移而面临的财务压力和负担。这将继续是我们市议会在下一个工作阶段中的重心。

在呼吁州政府增加财政支持的同时,我们也优先考虑长期财政可持续性,确保我们能够为子孙后代继续提供必要的服务和基础设施。

今年下半年,我们将与您分享市议会的 10 年财务计划,敬请期待。

谨启

崭新游泳项目引人注目 

Manningham 首轮仅限女性参加的游泳班已在 Aquarena 水上运动和休闲中心(Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre)开展。

欢迎所有年龄、能力水平和文化背景的女性(包括自视为 LGBTQIA+ 社群一员的女性)参加该游泳班。同时也欢迎儿童(包括 6 周岁以下的男孩)前来参加。

该游泳班为女性提供了一个安全、私密和温馨的空间,供其享受室内游泳池和水疗中心。

社区组织 Serenity for Women 参与了该项目的启动。此组织的发言人表示,该项目将提供机会改善女性健康和福祉——为那些因文化背景或过往创伤(如家庭暴力)而处于封闭状态的女性消除隔阂。

“关键是给她们一个安全的空间,让她们感到舒适。在那里她们不必担心文化元素,而且这个地方离家近、不昂贵。”发言人说道。

Manningham 休闲经理 Shannon Mounsey 表示,人们对更包容的空间有着不断增长的需求。

“我们创造了一个女性可以茁壮成长、建立信心并与他人建立联系的空间,对此很自豪。”她说道。

游泳班将于每月的最后一个周日晚上 8:15 至晚上 10:00(中心正常时间关闭之后)开展。

现场将会由女性工作人员监督。临近的开展日期包括 4 月 27 日、5 月 25 日和 6 月 29 日,均为周日。无需预订。

多元文化游泳初学课程 

Aquarena 的全新安全水上运动(Safely Engaging with Water)项目致力于帮助来自多元文化社区的成人培养水上安全意识、提升基本游泳技能。

统计数据显示,多元文化社区人士溺水的概率更高。鉴于此趋势,该项目旨在帮助学员达到参与游泳项目的水准,并帮助学员克服对水的恐惧和焦虑。

该项目为期 10 周,在不同的时间段提供针对不同性别的课程,为初学者学习游泳提供了一个安全且包容的环境。

全国和解周,携手向前进 

全国和解周(5 月 27 日至 6 月 3 日)为所有澳大利亚人提供了了解各族共同历史、文化和成就,以及探索我们每个人可以如何促进实现和解的机会。

今年的主题是“连接现在与未来”(Bridging Now to Next),反映了过去、现在和未来之间的持续联系,并鼓励我们携手向前进。

在 Manningham,我们将继续执行和解行动计划(Reconciliation Action Plan)制定的行动,并朝着和解目标向下一阶段迈进。

探索文化遗产 

Manningham 之所以如此特别,是因为我们拥有独特的环境和美丽的绿地。几千年来,我们的传统领主 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人一直照看着这片土地。和解周期间,让我们来探索这片土地背后的丰富文化遗产吧。

Bolin Bolin 湖泊 

位于 Bulleen 的湖泊是 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人举行大型仪式的圣地。环绕湖泊的步道始于 Bulleen Park,沿着 Birrarung(Yarra River),穿过大型红河胶树林。

Bulleen Park, 175 Bulleen Road, Bulleen 

Currawong Bush Park

公园内有多条步道,能让游客进一步了解 Wurundjeri 以及本地独有的栖息地和野生动物。

Reynolds Road, East Doncaster

Pound Bend Tunnel 保护区

Wurundjeri Stories 是一条迷人的招牌步道,提供解说,供游客探索当地的 Wurundjeri 历史。

Warrandyte State Park, Pound Bend Road, Warrandyte

Mount Lofty 步行 

这条 5 公里长的步行线路从 Wittons Reserve 出发,靠近被视为“圣女之国”(Sacred Women’s Country)的地区。游客沿 Birrarung(Yarra River)前行,随后登上 Mount Lofty 山顶欣赏壮丽景色。

艺术歌颂国家 

Manningham Art Gallery 的新展览旨在探索原住民艺术家与国家的联系。

展览《Painted Country》展示了五位原住民艺术家的作品:Nellie Ngampa Coulthard、Brenda Napaltjarri、Clara Napurrula、Rene Sundown 和 Adrian Jurra Tjungurrayi。

每位艺术家都描绘了国家的独特景象,捕捉了澳大利亚各地的光影变幻、本土植物、祖先故事和重要文化遗址。

特别感谢南澳大利亚州的 Iwantja Arts、北领地的 Papunya Tula Artists 等艺术家以及 Alcaston Gallery 共同举办本展览。

市长致辞

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

在我开始新一年的市长任期之际,我在此做出承诺,将致力于代表民众利益、倡导民心所向之事。

东北连接线计划(North East Link Program,NELP)对我们的社区产生了重大影响。随着 Manningham 的施工不断增加,我们的担忧也与日俱增。

NELP 于今年一月关闭了 Doncaster Park and Ride,以便腾出空间供未来重建。尽管我们已多次提出请求,州政府仍没有为受影响的乘客提供替代方案,我们对此感到失望。我们倡议提供更多的出行选择,以尽量减少对民众的干扰。更多信息请参见第 15 页。

虽然将该区域重建为一个现代化的交汇路口具有积极意义,但该设施目前的设计不足以应对未来日益增长的需求。我们已提交《Doncaster Park and Ride 城市设计景观规划》(Doncaster Park and Ride Urban Design Landscape Plan),并倡导以公共交通为导向、支持多种用途的开发,增加停车位,为人口增长留出空间。

我们还将继续向 NELP 提出民众对施工影响的担忧,包括噪音、灰尘、震动和干扰。

在我们的持续倡导下,NELP 将重建 Bulleen Park。该施工项目将于未来数月间动工,详情请参见第 15 页。此前,Powerful Owl Park 已于去年八月开放,该设施于我们与州政府协商后提供,以应对 NELP 对我们社区的影响。

我们很荣幸能代表市民处理各种问题。2025 年上半年的一项重要任务是制定市议会的四年计划,该计划将反映我们社区的需求和愿望。在此,我要感谢我们的社区小组(Community Panel)成员,感谢你们为社区未来发展方向付出的时间和做出的重要贡献。

我们十分重视社区意见。因此,如果您对我们的计划或倡议内容有任何想法或反馈,请与我或您的选区议员联系。

谨启

全新电动汽车充电站即将投入使用

A suburban carpark with colourfully painted parking bays with EV charging stations and a toilet block to the left.

2025 年年中起,我们将在 Manningham 新建 9 个公共电动汽车(EV)充电站,这将使 EV 的使用更加方便。

更令人惊喜的是,这些充电站将由政府认证的 GreenPower 公司供电,100% 使用可再生能源。

全新的公共 EV 充电站旨在满足日益增长的电动汽车使用和充电需求,这些增长在新的法定汽车标准出台后尤为显著。

此举也回应了 2023 年 Manningham 社区调查揭露的社区对本地公共充电设施支持的需求。

公共充电网络将有助于确保 EV 充电的便利性和实操性。

此举还将减少交通排放,通过增加停车场来促进本地商业发展,同时增强 EV 驾驶员的长途驾驶信心。

我们已与 JOLT Charge 和 Evie Networks 达成合作,在本地商业、娱乐和旅游景点提供公共 EV 充电器。

请访问 manningham.vic.gov.au/electric-vehicle-charging,查找离您最近的充电站地点。

市長致辭 

本屆聯邦選舉結束了,我們迎來了今後三年將在國家層面代表我們社區的本地議員。我們期待與他們的合作。

本次選舉的結果意味著,在整個 Casey、Deakin 和 Menzies 聯邦選區,我們將同時看到新的議員和我們已經熟悉的議員來代表 Manningham。

祝賀 Casey 選區議員 Aaron Violi、Deakin 選區議員 Matt Gregg 和 Menzies 選區議員 Gabriel Ng。

在選舉之前,澳大利亞工黨對各項位於 Manningham 的計畫作出了承諾,包括:

  • 撥款 $25,000,000 用於改善 Warrandyte South 五路路口的安全
  • 撥款 $3,500,000 用於位於 Bulleen 的 Sheahans Reserve Stadium 設施重建
  • 撥款 $187,500 用於維修 Old Warrandyte Fire House
  • 撥款 $50,000 用於支持白馬商會舉辦的亞洲文化節。

這些承諾對我們的社區來說是重大收穫。我們期待與本地議員商討有關這些計畫的 
執行時間和責任。

我們將與聯邦政府密切合作,交付其他對社區至關重要的關鍵項目。

其中一個專案是 Aquarena 戶外重建。我們期待與 Menzies 選區的新議員合作,並希望聯邦資金能在接下來的預算中到位,確保這一重要項目獲得必要的支援,為我們的社區帶來持久利益。

在競選期間還籌集了用於升級位於 Park Orchards 的 Domeney Reserve 的資金。改善體育場照明將使得成長中的女隊能夠延長訓練時間,持續不斷發展。雖然目前尚無正式承諾,但需求迫切。我們將與我們的新聯邦代表合作,明確並確保為社區提供這些重要升級所需的支援。

最後,我們將積極尋求與所有聯邦議員對話,繼續大力提倡與交通有關的項目,包括 Doncaster Road 沿線的高頻巴士道(High Frequency Busway)可行性研究,並鼓勵州政府作出于東北連接線(North East Link)專案相關的承諾。

我們是您的市議會,很榮幸代表您發聲。

市長致辭

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

我們的市議會目前正在制定 2025/26 年度預算和 10 年財務計畫。與此同時,我們正面臨著重大挑戰:支出轉移、利用市政費通知徵收州稅的問題日益嚴重。

您是否瞭解到,州政府正通過各種手段,將各項支出轉嫁給市議會,再由此轉嫁給您?

在發給您的年度市政費通知上,您會看到一些此類州稅的身影。此類州稅包括緊急服務稅(舊稱消防服務稅)和垃圾填埋稅。

作為市議會,我們並不制定此類費用或徵稅。然而,我們卻受命將這些支出直接轉嫁給您——本質上來說,我們不得不充當州政府的收稅員。今年,我們將更改 2025/26 年度市政費通知的排版,一面列出市議會收取的費用,另一面則列出州政府徵收的稅款。

支出轉移意味著州政府和其他政府機構將責任下放給市議會,卻不提供足夠的資金支援市議會履行責任。支出轉移包括引入新的費用、計畫或規定,或者將資產交移給市議會管理。

州政府要求市議會代表州政府提供重要的社區服務,卻不提供足夠的資金支持,以此達到支出轉移的目的。這導致州政府每年少提供的資金多達數百萬澳元。

例如,州政府提供的資金不足以用于支持當地學校的人行橫道監督者,而這些資金能幫助學齡兒童安全過馬路。我們在 VicRoads 擁有的 Manningham 主幹道上履行草坪修剪、道旁維護的責任,而州政府提供的資金也不足以覆蓋市政廳在這些工作上付出的成本。

我們的社區小組(Community Panel)建議減輕納稅人因州政府支出轉移而面臨的財務壓力和負擔。這將繼續是我們市議會在下一個工作階段中的重心。

在呼籲州政府增加財政支持的同時,我們也優先考慮長期財政可持續性,確保我們能夠為子孫後代繼續提供必要的服務和基礎設施。

今年下半年,我們將與您分享市議會的 10 年財務計畫,敬請期待。

嶄新游泳項目引人注目 

Manningham 首輪僅限女性參加的游泳班已在 Aquarena 水上運動和休閒中心(Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre)開展。

歡迎所有年齡、能力水準和文化背景的女性(包括自視為 LGBTQIA+ 社群一員的女性)參加該游泳班。同時也歡迎兒童(包括 6 周歲以下的男孩)前來參加。

該游泳班為女性提供了一個安全、私密和溫馨的空間,供其享受室內游泳池和水療中心。

社區組織 Serenity for Women 參與了該專案的啟動。此組織的發言人表示,該專案將提供機會改善女性健康和福祉——為那些因文化背景或過往創傷(如家庭暴力)而處於封閉狀態的女性消除隔閡。

“關鍵是給她們一個安全的空間,讓她們感到舒適。在那裡她們不必擔心文化元素,而且這個地方離家近、不昂貴。”發言人說道。

Manningham 康樂事務經理 Shannon Mounsey 表示,人們對更包容的空間有著不斷增長的需求。

“我們創造了一個女性可以茁壯成長、建立信心並與他人建立聯繫的空間,對此很自豪。”她說道。

游泳班將於每月的最後一個周日晚上 8:15 至晚上 10:00(中心正常時間關閉之後)開展。

現場將會由女性工作人員監督。臨近的開展日期包括 4 月 27 日、5 月 25 日和 6 月 29 日,均為周日。無需預訂。

多元文化游泳初學課程 

Aquarena 的全新安全水上運動(Safely Engaging with Water)項目致力於幫助來自多元文化社區的成人培養水上安全意識、提升基本游泳技能。

統計資料顯示,多元文化社區人士溺水的概率更高。鑒於此趨勢,該項目旨在幫助學員達到參與游泳項目的水準,並幫助學員克服對水的恐懼和焦慮。

該項目為期 10 周,在不同的時間段提供針對不同性別的課程,為初學者學習游泳提供了一個安全且包容的環境。

全國和解周,攜手向前進 

全國和解周(5 月 27 日至 6 月 3 日)為所有澳大利亞人提供了瞭解各族共同歷史、文化和成就,以及探索我們每個人可以如何促進實現和解的機會。

今年的主題是“連接現在與未來”(Bridging Now to Next),反映了過去、現在和未來之間的持續聯繫,並鼓勵我們攜手向前進。

在 Manningham,我們將繼續執行和解行動計畫(Reconciliation Action Plan)制定的行動,並朝著和解目標向下一階段邁進。

探索文化遺產 

Manningham 之所以如此特別,是因為我們擁有獨特的環境和美麗的綠地。幾千年來,我們的傳統領主 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人一直照看著這片土地。和解周期間,讓我們來探索這片土地背後的豐富文化遺產吧。

Bolin Bolin 湖泊 

位於 Bulleen 的湖泊是 Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung 人舉行大型儀式的聖地。環繞湖泊的步道始於 Bulleen Park,沿著 Birrarung(Yarra River),穿過大型紅河膠樹林。

Bulleen Park, 175 Bulleen Road, Bulleen 

Currawong Bush Park

公園內有多條步道,能讓遊客進一步瞭解 Wurundjeri 以及本地獨有的棲息地和野生動物。

Reynolds Road, East Doncaster

Pound Bend Tunnel 保護區

Wurundjeri Stories 是一條迷人的招牌步道,提供解說,供遊客探索當地的 Wurundjeri 歷史。

Warrandyte State Park, Pound Bend Road, Warrandyte

Mount Lofty 步道 

這條 5 公里長的步行線路從 Wittons Reserve 出發,靠近被視為“聖女之國”(Sacred Women’s Country)的地區。遊客沿 Birrarung(Yarra River)前行,隨後登上 Mount Lofty 山頂欣賞壯麗景色。

Reserve Road, Wonga Park

藝術歌頌國家 

Manningham Art Gallery 的新展覽旨在探索原住民藝術家與國家的聯繫。

展覽《Painted Country》展示了五位原住民藝術家的作品:Nellie Ngampa Coulthard、Brenda Napaltjarri、Clara Napurrula、Rene Sundown 和 Adrian Jurra Tjungurrayi。

每位藝術家都描繪了國家的獨特景象,捕捉了澳大利亞各地的光影變幻、本土植物、祖先故事和重要文化遺址。

特別感謝南澳大利亞州的 Iwantja Arts、北領地的 Papunya Tula Artists 等藝術家以及 Alcaston Gallery 共同舉辦本展覽。

市長致辭

Cr Deirdre Diamante smiling, wearing the mayor robes. A blue background.

在我開始新一年的市長任期之際,我在此做出承諾,將致力於代表民眾利益、宣導民心所向之事。

東北連接線計畫(North East Link Program,NELP)對我們的社區產生了重大影響。隨著 Manningham 的施工不斷增加,我們的擔憂也與日俱增。

NELP 於今年一月關閉了 Doncaster Park and Ride,以便騰出空間供未來重建。儘管我們已多次提出請求,州政府仍沒有為受影響的乘客提供替代方案,我們對此感到失望。我們倡議提供更多的出行選擇,以儘量減少對民眾的干擾。更多資訊請參見第 15 頁。

雖然將該區域重建為一個現代化的交匯路口具有積極意義,但該設施目前的設計不足以應對未來日益增長的需求。我們已提交《Doncaster Park and Ride 城市設計景觀規劃》(Doncaster Park and Ride Urban Design Landscape Plan),並宣導以公共交通為導向、支援多種用途的開發,增加停車位,為人口增長留出空間。

我們還將繼續向 NELP 提出民眾對施工影響的擔憂,包括噪音、灰塵、震動和干擾。

在我們的持續宣導下,NELP 將重建 Bulleen Park。該施工專案將于未來數月間動工,詳情請參見第 15 頁。此前,Powerful Owl Park 已於去年八月開放,該設施於我們與州政府協商後提供,以應對 NELP 對我們社區的影響。

我們很榮幸能代表市民處理各種問題。2025 年上半年的一項重要任務是制定市議會的四年計畫,該計畫將反映我們社區的需求和願望。在此,我要感謝我們的社區小組(Community Panel)成員,感謝你們為社區未來發展方向付出的時間和做出的重要貢獻。

我們十分重視社區意見。因此,如果您對我們的計畫或倡議內容有任何想法或回饋,請與我或您的選區議員聯繫。

謹啟

Deirdre Diamante 議員

Toy Library 協調員 Anlina Jones 說道,此次活動絕妙地向 Manningham 社區展示了其組織帶來的益處。

全新電動汽車充電站即將投入使用

A suburban carpark with colourfully painted parking bays with EV charging stations and a toilet block to the left.

2025 年年中起,我們將在 Manningham 新建 9 個公共電動汽車(EV)充電站,這將使 EV 的使用更加方便。

更令人驚喜的是,這些充電站將由政府認證的 GreenPower 公司供電,100% 使用可再生能源。

全新的公共 EV 充電站旨在滿足日益增長的電動汽車使用和充電需求,這些增長在新的法定汽車標準出臺後尤為顯著。

此舉也回應了 2023 年 Manningham 社區調查揭露的社區對本地公共充電設施支持的需求。

公共充電網路將有助於確保 EV 充電的便利性和實操性。

此舉還將減少交通排放,通過增加停車場來促進本地商業發展,同時增強 EV 駕駛員的長途駕駛信心。

我們已與 JOLT Charge 和 Evie Networks 達成合作,在本地商業、娛樂和旅遊景點提供公共 EV 充電器。

請訪問 manningham.vic.gov.au/electric-vehicle-charging,查找離您最近的充電站地點。

The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) includes a Doncaster Station. However construction may be over ten years away.

map showing the proposed stations and route of the Suburban Rail Loop

We are advocating for the Doncaster Station footprint to be set aside as part of Stage 1, to allow for planning of the Doncaster Hill precinct. For an express bus service that mirrors the Suburban Rail Loop Alignment. Providing a public transport connection to key education, healthcare and employment precincts.

Congestion on the Eastern Freeway

Why do we need a rail line to Doncaster?

Over 125,000 people in our community will benefit from a Doncaster Station. Currently our only public transport option is an over-crowded bus network that is often delayed by traffic congestion.

With Doncaster Hill’s population and traffic continuing to grow, we are urging the Victorian Government to include a Doncaster Station in stage two of the SRL and secure a location for the train station now.

Manningham is the only municipality without a tram or train line.

Car ownership per household is considerably high and daily public transport use for employment purposes is below the metropolitan average.

Our bus system is buckling under pressure to provide enough services and meet capacity for our growing city.

Doncaster Station not part of stage one construction

We are strongly advocating to the Victorian Government to include Doncaster Station in Stage two of the SRL.

We are working with stakeholders and the SRL Authority to secure a site location for the future train station.

What’s next?

We will continue to work with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority and the Department of Transport to advocate for improved public transport services to Manningham.

We want

  • fewer roads
  • more public transport options for our community

Annual Report

Our Annual Report provides a detailed account of Council’s service performance across the year.

 

Local Government Performance Reporting Framework (LGPRF)

LGPRF was introduced by the Victorian Government to assist the community to see and compare Council’s performance in areas of interest such as public safety (animals, foods and pools), services (statutory planning, maternal child health, libraries, roads and rubbish), council business (governance, community engagement and financial efficiency).
 
All results are reported annually to the Minister for Local Government and published on the Local Government Victoria website.
