Sporting clubs play in important role in our community. They can be important places of social connections and support, as well as influential structures where attitudes and behaviours, including those towards women and girls, are formed and upheld.

Sporting clubs also have an important responsibility to ensure all members are safe and free from discrimination and harassment. This can be achieved by creating and supporting fair, inclusive and respectful sporting environments on and off the playing field.  

Active Bystander training seeks to support fair, inclusive and respectful sporting environments through skilling participants to not only identify and challenge sexism, but other forms of discrimination such as racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. Active Bystander training equips participants to step in when they see or hear sexist or discriminatory language, jokes, behaviours or practices across a range of sports settings and scenarios.  

Research shows that promoting bystander action across your sporting club can support a range of benefits. Some examples of this include:  

• Improved club culture and relationships for all members  
• Attract and retain talent and increase performance and morale 
• Save money and increase profits 
• Support positive change and enhance your reputation 
• Contribute to the prevention of violence against women  

Spots in this workshop are limited so book your spot as soon as you can. 

Registrations are essential. Refreshments provided. 

This workshop is being delivered in partnership with Women's Health East and made possible thanks to Change Our Game - Community Activation Grants program.

Provide feedback on the improvements proposed as part of the Templestowe Route Upgrade. 

The upgrade, between Templestowe Road and Williamson Road (1.8 km), will enhance safety, pedestrian connectivity, and infrastructure quality.

In addition to road, footpath and drainage enhancements, we're proposing:

• two new roundabouts at the intersections of Atkinson and Milne streets. The roundabouts aim to prevent speeding, improve traffic flow and highlight the entrance to the Templestowe Village shops.
• To advocate for a reduced speed limit of 40km per hour between the roundabouts, to boost pedestrian and road safety.
• To advocate for a reduced speed limit to 50km/hour on the route. This will apply from Union Street to the Milne Road roundabout, and from Atkinson Street roundabout to Porter Street. It excludes areas where a 40km/hour speed limit has been proposed.
• To install pedestrian-operated signals at the intersection of Wood and Anderson streets so community members can access the shops more safely.

Drop in at this public consultation session, where you'll have the opportunity to:

• chat to our officers about the project
• review the proposed plans
• provide your feedback about the proposed changes

You can follow the project, have your say and help to improve the Templestowe Route by visiting Your Say Manningham.
