The Aussie Backyard Bird Count is a great way to connect with the birds in your backyard no matter where your backyard happens to be. A suburban backyard, a local park, a patch of forest, down by the beach, or the main street of town.
You can count as many times as you like over the week, we just ask that each count is completed over a 20-minute period.
The data collected assists BirdLife Australia in understanding more about the birds that live where people live.
You can record your bird count via a webform, or using the Aussie Bird Count app.
For more information go to the Aussie Bird Count website.

To achieve our vision of a high quality, sustainable urban design environment, Doncaster Hill has a number of unique processes in place - in addition to the Manningham Planning Scheme provisions.
The tools below are designed to help you navigate more efficiently through the planning permit application process when developing in Doncaster Hill.
Find out about the boulevard construction specifications for developments located along Doncaster, Williamsons and Tram Roads (including the ceding of land to Council).
Find out how we manage the protection of neighbourhood amenity and assets during construction
All new major developments planned within Doncaster Hill are now required to supply a 3D building file of the proposed development.
Every planning permit issued within Doncaster Hill will include conditions for the submission of a Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) which achieves best practice outcomes. The SMP addresses a range of matters including water, energy and indoor environment quality.
With respect to water, it is a permit condition that the development must connect to Yarra Water’s recycled water and meet our stormwater objectives.
