Report an issue
Have you noticed something unsafe like a broken tree branch or damaged playground that needs our attention?
Organising a large event?
Some types of events, such as festivals or school's cross country runs need a special permission to be held on public land.
What is report and consent?
For some building projects, you'll need to provide us your proposed plans to get a report and consent (special permission) from us when building or making changes.
These report and consents will form a part of your building permit.
We have three types of report and consent. Check you are applying for the correct one.
- Siting, design and fences: proposed buildings or changes that sit outside building regulations - like building a fence higher than what's allowed
- Land liable to flooding: proposed buildings or changes that are on flood prone land
- Section 29A: proposed demolishing of a property or changes to a property's facade
Apply for siting, design and fences report and consent
Any time you wish to build or make a change that sits outside building regulations, you'll need our consent before you begin construction. Some common examples include:
- wanting to build your front fence higher than what's allowed
- reducing how far your works can be from your front boundary than what's allowed
- wanting to build your wall higher on your side boundary than what's allowed.
Not sure if you need to apply? contact your appointed building surveyor.

Manningham Council is developing a Stormwater Management Strategy (Strategy) to help identify, manage and reduce flood risk to people, property, infrastructure and the environment.
The Strategy will be informed by Council endorsed documents, existing data, customer requests, flood mapping information and internal stakeholder feedback.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange said: “With a rapidly changing climate, population growth and increased development, effective stormwater management is critical in supporting a healthy, safe and resilient community.”
“As identified in our endorsed Climate Emergency Action Plan (CEAP), we’re committed to sustainably, mitigating against, and adapting to the impacts of climate change. The management of flood risk is also a significant strategic outcome included in the Yarra Strategic Plan,” Cr Lange said.
“Flooding is an inevitable part of our weather cycle. With more frequent and extreme weather events projected, we need to be proactive and consider how we can improve our preparedness and flood resilience.
“To achieve this, we’re leveraging customer and flood data to help inform the Stormwater Management Strategy – setting priorities to help us sustainably meet the challenges ahead,” Cr Lange said.
The Strategy forms part of Council’s approach to managing flooding and stormwater for a resilient future for Manningham. It will provide clear objectives to help guide stormwater planning and delivery of future projects and infrastructure as part of the long-term Capital Works Program.
It will comprise a two-part document including:
- Stormwater Management Policy: a framework detailing the methodology and criteria for prioritisation of Council’s future drainage capital works projects.
- Future Works Plan: a prioritised list of future capital works projects within the municipality.
It will also identify current regulatory obligations relating to stormwater management flood risk and safety controls, considering residual and future flood risk management standards.
Council is undertaking several flooding and stormwater management initiatives, aimed at building a more resilient and liveable Manningham and facilitating robust planning for the future.
Part of this work includes developing a draft Integrated Water Management Strategy, which will respond to emerging water risks and challenges and identify opportunities to adapt to a more water constrained future.
Together with Melbourne Water, Council is also preparing comprehensive flood mapping to better identify and respond to areas of flood risk throughout Manningham.
In August 2022, Council appointed a Flooding and Stormwater Management Community Reference Panel, providing a direct link between Council and representatives of the Manningham community.
In informing Council’s deliberations, the Panel is helping support quality transparent decision making processes, to best place the Manningham community to proactively address emerging water challenges.
Council will consider the draft Stormwater Management Strategy Policy for adoption in August 2024. The Strategy is expected to be completed in late 2024.
