We’re installing 3 new community batteries to capture and store renewable energy, so we can power our facilities more sustainably.
This is one step towards our goal of achieving zero emissions for Manningham Council by 2028 and for our community by 2035.
Community battery benefits
These batteries – at Mullum Mullum Stadium, MC Square and Manningham Council Depot – will deliver:
lower emissions
a more stable grid
backup power to the site during an outage
How do community batteries work?
Community batteries store extra solar power from that site and release it when demand is high.
This keeps the grid reliable, which will become increasingly important as more renewable energy powers our community.
When will construction begin?
Construction will begin in October 2025, with all 3 batteries switched on by March 2026.
How will this impact me?
Compact and quiet, these batteries won’t disrupt your power supply or services.
Victorian Government funding
The battery at Mullum Mullum Stadium is made possible thanks to $227,636 in State Government funding, as part of the 100 Neighbourhood Batteries Program.

Join our free information session in March 2026 to learn how these batteries work, why they matter and how you can be part of the clean energy future. Details coming soon.

Find out how apply to park a heavy vehicle on private residential land.
...
The current Local Law regulates the parking of an oversize vehicle on private residential land.
In certain circumstances a Permit may be issued to the owner or the occupier of the land to permit parking.
The purpose of the permit assessment is to ensure that the oversized vehicle does not impact on the amenity of the area, neighbouring properties, public safety or cause damage to Council assets.
Prior to approval being granted a number of considerations will be assessed.
When applying for a permit, provide as much information as possible why consideration should be given.
Can I park my truck on residential land?
Without a permit, you cannot park your vehicle on residential land if:
it is in excess of 4.5 tonnes, or
it is longer than 7.5 metres
The Manningham Community Local Law 2023 Clause 26
The Manningham Community Local Law 2023 Clause 26 states that the owner or occupier must not, without a permit, keep or allow to be kept, a vehicle that has a gross vehicle mass of in excess of 4.5 tonnes or together with any load or projection, measures 7.5 metres or more in length on residential land. This does not include a caravan.
