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.
In 1998 Wathaurong Glass was formed to express Aboriginal art in glass. The techniques used to produce their products include the use of kiln forming (slumping glass), sandblasting or any other technique they feel is suitable to achieve the desired result.
The name “WATHAURONG” (wathawurrung or wadda wurrung) is a recognised tribe, it consisted of 25 groups (clans). The boundaries of Wathaurong are from Geelong, north to Werribee River, northwest to Bacchus Marsh, south west to Cressy, south east to Colac, east to Lorne and north back to Geelong, encompassing the Bellarine Peninsula.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
| Jolt Charge | Evie Networks | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | 25kW and 50kW DC fast chargers. | 75kW DC ultra fast chargers. |
| Indicative speed | 75km to 125km of range in 30 minutes. | 150km of range in 30 minutes. |
| Plug | Tethered CCS2 plugs at all sites. CHadeMO plugs at select sites. | Tethered CCS2 plugs at all sites. CHadeMO plugs at select sites. |
| Services and costs | 7 kWh free daily charge (up to 50 km of range).* Additional charge at 59 cents per kWh, depending on site. *Free charging is subsidised by the digital advertising screens featured on Jolt’s chargers. | 58 to 68 cents per kWh, depending on site. |
| Payment | Payment through JOLT app. No paid subscription required. | Payment through Evie app or RFID card. No paid subscription required. |
| e-Bikes | e-Bike chargers with standard 10A outlet at select locations. Cable not provided. |
There will be no cost to us to install and operate the infrastructure. The chargers will be located on our land, however Jolt Charge and Evie Networks will cover all expenses for the chargers, including ongoing maintenance. The chargers are based on a user-pay model, with charging costs at standard market rates.
The chargers are powered by 100 per cent renewable energy through government accredited GreenPower.

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:
Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Public Interest Disclosures (PID) are reports about:
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.
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:
If your disclosure is about a Councillor, your disclosure must be made to the IBAC or the Victorian Ombudsman.
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.
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 should be made confidentially to the Public Interest Disclosure Coordinator or to one of the Public Interest Disclosure Officers listed below:
Disclosures can also be made directly to the IBAC.
Disclosures about Councillors must be made directly to the Victorian Ombudsman
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.
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.
