Let Us Walk Together, Kol-ing-wod-ong-gnul
… by Wathaurong Glass Pty Ltd, 2001. Tags Public Art … Let Us Walk Together, Kol-ing-wod-ong-gnul …

Let us walk together depicts aspects of the characteristics, history and development of the municipality.

  • Panel 2 - depicts windbreaks planted to protect the fruit trees
  • Panels 3, 10 and 12 - tell of clearing the land, planting of crops and orchards and the early development of the suburbs
  • Panel 4 - the lizard tracks symbolise animal life
  • Panel 5 - rain and flooding has significantly impacted on the land and habitation
  • Panel 6 - the coming together of artists at Heide
  • Panel 7 - represents fire used to clear the land and the bushfires that have wreaked havoc
  • Panel 8 - the body paint symbolises the dance performed at the meeting of the Kulin Nation
  • Panel 9 - represents multiculturalism, unity and sense of community
  • Panel 11 - the campsites or suburbs and the roads leading to and from Manningham
  • Panel 13 - the x-ray image of an animal stomach represents the possum skin cloaks distinctive to First Nations people from southeast Australia
  • Panel 14 - snake tracks

Scar Tree Shields

Scar trees have had their bark removed by First Nations people.

The removal of bark does not kill the tree but leaves a clearly visible and generally symmetrical scar. The symmetry of the scar is one way of telling whether the scar was caused by human action rather than of natural causes. Scars can range in length from thirty centimetres to five metres. The size of the scar provides a clue as to whether the bark was used for a container, shield, a canoe or a slab for making a shelter.

There are a number of scar trees in the area of the Bolin Bolin Swamp along the Birrarung.  

This work was commissioned to celebrate the Centenary of Federation and the building of the City’s Function Centre. It was supported by the Federal Government through the Federation Community Projects Fund.

Join us and learn more about new public art in Doncaster and take part in an all-ages art activity.

As part of the Ayr St South shopping strip upgrade, a ground mural will be designed and installed by artist Tom Civil.

Tom will share his designs at Greythorn Bowls Club in an information session for the community, where you can meet the artist and discuss his ideas.

The information session will be followed by an all-ages art activity, where you will design your own footpath mural. Use the materials provided to work collaboratively, or own your own to create an artwork for your street.

  • Information session / meet the artist: 11.00am to 12.30pm
  • Art Activity: 1.00pm to 2.30pm

Morning and afternoon tea will be provided

About the artist

Tom Civil is an artist, muralist, community art facilitator and printmaker. 

Tom has been making art in the streets of Melbourne for over 18 years, and has painted over 30 commissioned murals across town in the last ten years.

Tom's ground artworks reference through the language of mapping and symbology, our connection to nature in a heavily urbanised and concrete and asphalt covered world. The ground artworks also allow us to day-dream about how the places we live were in the past, and how they could be in the future. They also create fun interactive play moments in our daily lives.

The upgrade of the Templestowe Memorial Reserve is now complete and offers a new space for residents to reflect and enjoy. 

The reserve now includes a new ampitheatre-style standing area and a memorial feature along with additional seating areas and new landscaping.

The upgrade will help ensure the reserve can accommodate the growing crowds at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services.

Works included landscaping and planting of notable species such as the Gallipoli Centenary Rose, Callistemon ‘White ANZAC’ bottlebrush and rosemary. 

Funded through Manningham Council’s Capital Works Program, the upgrade aims to honour the significant contribution and memory of our service people.

It also builds on the rich history of the Templestowe Memorial Reserve site, which was originally the Bulleen Shire Hall, until 1910, when it became the Shire Pound. The location became a memorial reserve in 1971.

Manningham Council completed the upgrade with involvement from the Templestowe RSL and Rotary Manningham City.

Residents can visit the upgraded Templestowe Memorial Reserve on the corner of High Street and Foote Street in Templestowe Lower.

Coming in 2025: Manningham’s new public EV charging stations
… Coming in 2025: Manningham’s new public EV charging stations We’re partnering with Jolt Charge and Evie Networks to roll out nine public electric vehicle charging stations in 2025 – powered … Electrify Your Life … Coming in 2025: Manningham’s new public EV charging stations …
Article Content

UPDATED: 4 April 2025 with new JOLT prices.

Owning an electric vehicle (EV) in Manningham will soon be more convenient.

We’re partnering with Jolt Charge and Evie Networks to roll out nine public electric vehicle charging stations in 2025 – powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.

 

What is a public EV charger?

Although they’re privately owned, public EV chargers are on public land and available for everyone to use – all day, every day. The universal chargers are accessible to every electric vehicle.

 

Public EV charging network benefits

Electric vehicle use is booming, with more people switching every day.

  • Ensure that EV charging is accessible and practical 

    Many EV owners rely on public chargers to power up while on the go, or because they don’t have the infrastructure at home. A public charging network will ensure that residents living in apartments, rental properties or areas without dedicated parking can access EV chargers.

  • Reduce our transport emissions 

    Transport accounts for nearly a quarter of Manningham’s carbon emissions. This rate is higher than other local governments in Melbourne – and nationally. 

    Encouraging more people to use electric vehicles powered by renewable energy will help decrease our transport emissions and reach Manningham's net zero emissions target by 2035. 

  • Boost local businesses with enhanced car parking

    It's proven that EV users visit shops and activity centres that provide EV chargers. While charging, they can explore nearby shops, businesses, and recreational facilities. 

  • Increase driver confidence 

    EV users can travel confidently in and around Manningham, knowing they can rely on a network of fast chargers to top up on the go.

  • Create a cleaner and greener Manningham

    Powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, the charging network will help reduce transport emissions, improve local air quality and reduce noise pollution.

 

Charger locations

The nine new public EV charging stations will be conveniently located near commercial, recreational and tourist destinations.

The specific locations of the charging bays will depend on access to power supply.

Sites we’re exploring include:

  • Doncaster Reserve (near Jackson Court), Doncaster East
  • Templestowe Village, Templestowe
  • Bulleen Road, Bulleen
  • Devon Plaza, Doncaster East
  • Donburn Village, Doncaster East
  • Lawford Road (near Westfield), Doncaster
  • Mullum Mullum Stadium, Donvale
  • Pines Learning and Activity Centre, Doncaster East
  • Donvale Reserve, Donvale
  • Warrandyte (location TBC)
  • MC Square, Doncaster
  • Macedon Square, Templestowe Lower

 

About the chargers

Each charging station will be operated by either Jolt or Evie.

Both chargers are powered by 100 per cent renewable energy through government accredited GreenPower.

Each provider offers a distinct product and service, giving you more options for charging.

Their services are summarised below.

Indicative speed75km to 125km of range in 30 minutes.150km of range in 30 minutes.

Apply for a hoarding permit
… We have a range of permits to protect the safety of the public, protect our assets and ensure compliance with …

If you need to install a hoarding on land that belongs to Manningham, you will need to get a hoarding permit. You will not need a hoarding permit if the location of the hoarding is within a building site.

This permit is not a report and consent for regulation 116, which is a requirement for the erection of precautions over the street alignment.

To keep the public safe, the placing of hoardings must be in accordance with the hoarding and overhead protective awning plan. This is a document we will endorse and is part of the permit.

 

The works that need a permit

You will only need a hoarding permit if part of the hoarding is

  • outside the property boundary
  • the hoarding changes normal access for the public such as partial or full occupation of the footpath.

The following works will require a permit:

  • carrying out construction works or using a concrete pump
  • store building materials, plants, equipment, site sheds or machinery.

 

Works that require the use of a crane

If you are using a mobile crane or travel tower, you will also need a permit. Please note, if you are applying for a crane permit and the crane overhangs or encroaches above a property that is not part of the work, you will need written consent from the airspace owner.

 

When do you need the permit?

You will need to get the permits before starting any work. We will process your application in 10 business days.

 

How much does it cost?

The application fee is $467 plus a weekly occupation rate of $6 per square meter.

The maximum occupation charge rate is $422 per week and a minimum of $200.

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.

Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade reaches major milestone
… Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade reaches major milestone The first phase of the upgrade is now complete, and we're preparing for phase two … Yarra Ward Media releases … Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade reaches major milestone …
Article Content

The first phase of the Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade is now complete, and we're preparing for phase two works to start late next year.

Our Mayor, Cr Deirdre Diamante said the completion of phase one marks a significant milestone for the project.

“Phase one has tackled key safety and flooding issues for locals, while also enhancing the local habitat through planting of species of native vegetation to provide shelter and food as well as contributing to the overall biodiversity.”

This major project, covering approximately 35 hectares of residential area, aims to reduce flood risk to protect local properties and businesses.

Commencing earlier this year, with the installation of underground drainage along the roadside, widening of the road, and removal of deep depressions and driveway culverts.

We're now preparing for the second phase of construction, which will focus on upgrading the drainage systems within easements on private properties. This phase will improve stormwater management and provide flood protection for properties by addressing surface water runoff.

“We’re looking forward to the next stage of construction starting next year, as it will provide essential flood protection for properties along Melbourne Hill Road,” the Mayor added.

Construction is expected to begin in late 2025 and take approximately one year to complete. However, the schedule may be affected by weather conditions and the potential relocation of underground service assets.

In the meantime, we will continue the planting program, supporting the establishment of new native plantings over the coming years.

Ayr St South ground mural
… the Ayr St South ground mural by Tom Civil, 2022. Tags Public Art … Ayr St South ground mural …

This playful and bold ground artwork attempts to reflect on our connection to nature as we go about our lives in a heavily urbanised and concrete and asphalt covered world.

The artwork is also about how the places we live in were in the past, and how they could be in the future.

The ‘contour lines’ reference the topography of the land as a 1:1 scale map that we walk through. A compass is used as a simple practical guide in direction and navigating the city, with the sun and moons represented to show the passing of days and months. There are references to the local flowers of tea tree and eucalyptus, local ladybugs and dragonflies, and magpie feathers.

I hope people find unexpected games within the design too, whether jumping from flower to flower, following a dot track or exploring the compass.

This project was funded by Manningham Council and the Department of Jobs, Regions and Precincts COVID Safe Outdoor Activation Fund.

About the artist

Tom Civil is an artist, muralist, community art facilitator and printmaker. 

Tom has been making art in the streets of Melbourne for over 18 years, and has painted over 30 commissioned murals across town in the last ten years.

Tom's ground artworks reference through the language of mapping and symbology, our connection to nature in a heavily urbanised and concrete and asphalt covered world. The ground artworks also allow us to day-dream about how the places we live were in the past, and how they could be in the future. They also create fun interactive play moments in our daily lives.

In addition to these matters, the Local Government Act also includes provisions for:

  • entitlements for residents and ratepayers to vote in council elections
  • the conduct of local council elections, nominations and vote counting
  • independent Electoral Representation Reviews by an electoral commission
  • council governance requirements, including codes of conduct and disclosure of conflicts of interest
  • council decision making, including records of meetings, confidentiality and limits on decisions during election periods
  • levying and payment of council rates and charges
  • preparation of Council Plans, budgets and annual reports
  • council's powers to make and enforce local laws.

 

Community Local Law

Manningham’s Community Local Law 2023 is a local law made under Part 3 of the Local Government Act 2020 and section 42 of the Domestic Animals Act 1994.

This Local Law is made in recognition of Manningham’s Generation 2030 Community Plan and the Council Plan, which, as Council’s overarching strategic documents, provide a long-term shared vision for Manningham and the community by guiding the development of policy and strategies.

Human Rights Charter

The Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 is a law that protects the human rights of all people in Victoria.

The Charter requires all public authorities and their employees to act compatibly with human rights in the delivery of services and when making decisions.

Manningham City Council recognises and respects that everyone has the same human rights entitlement to allow them to participate in, and contribute to, society and our community. We recognise that all persons have equal rights in the provision of, and access to, Council services and facilities. We also recognise that, at times, such rights may be limited, insofar as to strike a balance between individual rights and the protection of public interest.

The Charter complements other laws such the Equal Opportunity legislation and protects rights such as freedom of speech, freedom from forced work and freedom from degrading treatment which previously had no legal protection. The Charter sets out a list of twenty rights that assist all people to live with freedom, respect, equality and dignity.

Fraud and Corruption Control

Council is the custodian of significant public funds and assets therefore it is important that the community has assurance that these are adequately protected. 

In December 2022, Council approved the Manningham Council Fraud and Corruption Policy.

The Policy sets out specific guidelines and responsibilities regarding appropriate actions that must be followed for the investigation of fraud and corruption and other similar irregularities.

The Policy should be read together with the Manningham Risk Management Strategy and relevant legislation.

Public Interest Disclosures Procedures


The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (the Act) facilitates the making of public interest disclosures about improper conduct within the public sector without fear of reprisal. The Act aims to ensure openness and accountability by encouraging people to make disclosures and protecting them when they do.

Manningham is committed to the aims and objectives of the Act and encourages the making of disclosures about improper conduct. Council will not tolerate improper conduct by the organisation, its workers or Councillors nor the taking of reprisals against anyone who discloses such conduct.

What is a public interest disclosure?

Public Interest Disclosures (PID) are reports about:

  • Improper conduct of public bodies or public officers (such as corrupt conduct).
  • Detrimental action that a public body or public officer has taken against a person in reprisal for them (or another person) having made a PID or cooperating with the investigation of a PID.

A person making a disclosure must believe, on reasonable grounds, that the Council, worker or Councillor has engaged in, or proposes to engage in, improper conduct.

How do I make a public interest disclosure?

A PID may only be made by a natural person or a group of people making a joint disclosure. A PID cannot be made by a company or organisation.
We can only address disclosures that relate to Manningham City Council and its workers. A person making a disclosure can do so by contacting Council or the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).

Council recommends that a written disclosure is sealed in an envelope and clearly marked:

  • “Private and Confidential – Attention Mr Andrew McMaster, Chief Legal and Governance Officer”.
  • Or by email to Andrew McMaster: andrew.mcmaster@manningham.vic.gov.au.

If your disclosure is about a Councillor, your disclosure must be made to the IBAC or the Victorian Ombudsman.

How will Manningham protect me if I make a disclosure?

Manningham will take all reasonable steps to protect a person who makes a public interest disclosure. All correspondence, phone calls and emails from a discloser will be referred to the Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator.

The Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator will take all necessary steps to ensure that the identity of the discloser and the person who is the subject of the disclosure are kept confidential. Where appropriate welfare support will also be provided.

Who can I contact if I am thinking about making a public interest disclosure?

Anyone considering making a disclosure is encouraged to read Manningham’s Public Interest Disclosure Procedures on this page. The procedures will guide you through the process and help you understand how to make a disclosure and activate the protections available under the Act.

Disclosures to Manningham Council

Disclosures to Manningham should be made confidentially to the Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator or to one of the Public Interest Disclosure Officers listed below:

  • Andrew McMaster, Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator, telephone 9840 9360
  • Kerryn Paterson, Director Experience and Capability, telephone 9840 9201
  • Carrie Bruce, Senior Governance Lead, telephone 9840 9210
  • Vicki Miller, Risk and Assurance Lead, telephone 9840 9204

Disclosures to the IBAC

Disclosures can also be made directly to the IBAC.

  • Address: Level 1, North Tower, 459 Collins Street, Melbourne 3001
  • Telephone: 1300 735 135
  • Online: You can also submit an online complaint at the IBAC website

Disclosures about Councillors

Disclosures about Councillors must be made directly to the Victorian Ombudsman

  • Address: Level 2, 570 Bourke Street, Melbourne 3000
  • Telephone: 9613 6222 or toll free to 1800 806 314
  • Online: You can also submit an online complaint at the Victorian Ombudsman website

Alternatives to making a public interest disclosure

The Public Interest Disclosures Procedures are designed to complement normal methods of submitting a complaint to Council and existing communication channels between workers and line managers. If your complaint does not meet the threshold of a public interest disclosure, it will be referred through to the appropriate person for action.

Need more information?

You can find more information about public interest disclosures in the Guidelines for handling public interest disclosures on the IBAC website.

Manningham’s Public Interest Disclosures Procedures have been prepared in accordance with these guidelines and advice from the IBAC.

Please contact the Council’s Protected Disclosure Coordinator on 9840 9360 for further information or a confidential discussion. Advice can also be received from IBAC on a confidential basis.

Manningham Council is seeking community feedback on a concept design for an upgrade at Wombat Bend Playground. 

Wombat Bend Playground is a much-loved regional playground catering to visitors of all abilities – created by the community, for the community. It embraces inclusive design to foster creative development, inspiration and imagination and to encourage the mind to explore.

  • a dedicated swing zone with five different seat types
  • a larger water play area
  • a sand play zone with raised tables and a digger
  • a refurbished maze zone
  • improved access paths for better connectivity and movement
  • upgraded amenities, including new seating, picnic areas, drinking fountains, shelters, and BBQs
  • enhanced shade and expanded grassed areas
  • a new co-located fitness station.

Community consultation now open
