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.

Microchipping your pet identifies and protects them.
Your pet must have a microchip prior to registration.
How microchips help your pets
Microchipping your pet is important because if they’re lost, we or animal shelters can identify them.
If you’d like to learn more about the benefits, visit microchipping information for dog and cat owners.
How microchips work
A microchip is a tiny computer chip the size of a grain of rice. Each chip has a unique number and when scanned, will identify your pet. The number will be on the microchip registry and other details such as your:
- address
- contact details.
Do microchips hurt
The procedure takes a few seconds and is painless. A vet can microchip your pet.
The microchip implant will be just under your pet’s skin. Usually between the shoulder blades at the back of the neck.
Exemptions from microchipping
If you need an exemption, you’ll need to show proof from a vet of why the procedure will cause your pet harm.
Update your pet’s microchip details when moving house
If you’ve moved to a new place, update your pet’s microchip details with the domestic animal (microchip) registries.
