A heritage overlay may affect any building, renovation or maintenance work on your property. The heritage overlay details when you’ll need a planning permit. It also shows the location and the level of heritage controls over a particular heritage place.
You can find out more about the provisions in our planning scheme.
A statement of significance will accompany a heritage assessment and indicate why the site is important and what to conserve. Documenting what’s significant of a place helps to protect and manage the place appropriately.
Proposals for a planning permit for a heritage place needs to consider the policies and provisions of our planning scheme.
Search to see if a heritage overlay affects your property.
When your property has a heritage overlay you’ll need a permit to:
There’ll be some instances where additional controls will apply, such as:
Our schedule to the heritage overlay will identify any additional controls.
You won’t need a planning permit to carry out routine maintenance and repairs if they don’t change the appearance of the place.

If unsure, check with us before doing any repair or maintenance work.
The heritage overlay may not apply to the whole site. Refer to the planning scheme maps online or in our offices.
We discourage demolition of a heritage place if it’s individually significant or it contributes to the significance of an area. Demolition will only occur if we find the building structurally unsound.

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 54 to 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.
