Spend an evening with local ecologist John Harris and learn about Manningham's local threatened fauna species....
Hear from local ecologist John Harris about Manningham's threatened species and the challenges they face, including habitat loss, invasive species and climate change.
Manningham is home to 56 threatened animal species, including the Brush-tailed Phascogale, Grey-headed Flying-fox, Swift Parrot and Barking Owl.
There are 466 threatened plant species, 246 of which are critically endangered.
A species is considered threatened when it's at risk of extinction within a local area, even if it's not globally endangered.

Manningham Environment Seminar Series - Threatened Fauna Species of Manningham
Spend an evening with local ecologist John Harris and learn about threatened fauna species that are found locally in Manningham
Manningham is home to a significant number of threatened species, both animals and plants, facing threats like habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. The municipality has identified 56 threatened animal species, including some of national and state significance like the Brush-tailed Phascogale, Grey-headed Flying-fox, Swift Parrot, and Barking Owl. Additionally, there are 466 threatened plant species, with a substantial portion (246) considered critically endangered. #Swifft State Wide Integrated Flora and Fauna Teams
A species is determined to be threatened when its population within a specific geographic area (like Manningham or Victoria) is at risk of extinction, even if it's not globally threatened. This can happen due to factors like habitat loss, invasive species, or pollution within that area, making the species susceptible to local extinction.

The Aranga Reserve off-lead dog park is set for an upgrade to improve the park’s safety, usability and comfort for both dogs and their owners.
This upgrade will be delivered with support from a $200,000 State Government grant, through Round 2 funding of its New and Upgraded Dog Parks program.
Located in Donvale, Aranga Reserve features a fenced dog activity park, playspace, and picnic area.
The concept for the grant application was developed in consultation with Friends of Manningham Dogs and Cats (FOMDAC). The proposed improvements include:
new entry gates and fencing to improve access and safety
new and upgraded equipment and play areas
additional seating and shaded areas
new lighting to improve safety
additional planting to improve shade.
The total project budget is $300,000.
Consultation on this upgrade is planned for late 2025, with delivery expected in the 2025–26 financial year.
The Aranga Reserve dog park upgrade is supported by the Victorian Government through the New and Upgraded Dog Parks program.

We have signed the contract to purchase 576-578 Park Road, Park Orchards as part of its planning for a new Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre.
A priority action in our Community Infrastructure Plan, discussions and advocacy have already commenced for the replacement of this popular neighbourhood house and it is hoped that this significant investment will be the catalyst for investment from other levels of government.
Our Mayor, Deirdre Diamante, said the existing community house needs replacing to bring programs and services together.
"The Community House is widely used and offers a variety of programs and services in learning, fitness and art for all ages, and includes a well-loved childcare facility.
“The current building is coming to the end of its useful life, has limited accessibility and is too small to cater to all programs. These limitations have resulted in programs moving to different locations and spread across multiple local venues.
“By bringing these programs together into one building with better access and more space, we can improve efficiency and better support the community’s growing needs.”
The location of the new property, adjacent to the existing Community House at 572 Park Road, will allow for more space for the variety of programs on offer.
“Located in the heart of Park Orchards, as part of a community and education precinct and near public bus transport, the site will maintain convenient access to childcare, schools, recreational areas, and shops.” Cr Diamante added.
The purchase of 576-578 Park Road is part of our long-term planning to replace this important neighbourhood house for Park Orchards.
Neighbourhood houses are predominantly funded by government grants and additional state and commonwealth government funding will be needed to deliver this new community facility.
“We have purchased this property as part of our long-term plan for the community house and local area. We’re pleased to be able to secure a site for a new centre in Park Orchards and will continue to advocate for State and Federal funding to deliver it.”
The purchase was funded by our Strategic Fund which is part of our 10 Year Financial Plan 2024/25 to 2033/34.
