Learn how to conduct your own frog monitoring survey and identify local frog species with Ecologist/Zoologist David De Angelis and Melbourne Water's Frog Census Coordinator and Ecologist Jane Petch.
About the Frog Census
The Spring Frog Census program is an exciting community activity that is open to everyone. The program aims to involve large numbers of volunteers for frog monitoring in Manningham and the surrounding region.
To participate, simply come along to our free Frog Census training event, where you will learn all about our amphibian friends. You will receive training on our local frog species and how to use the Melbourne Water Frog Census App.
All frog call recordings collected by volunteers will be uploaded onto the Melbourne Water Frog Monitoring App to be assessed and identified by a frog expert. It’s easy and fun – and you don’t have to be a frog expert!
Information collected will be shared with participants and data used to help conservation efforts.
Why frog monitoring?
Frogs play an important role in waterway and wetland ecosystems and are unfortunately vulnerable to changes in their environment such as urbanisation. By helping collect data, you’ll be helping plan on ground action that will protect and conserve these valuable amphibians.
Program outline
- 6.45pm to 7.00pm - supper
- 7.00pm - local frog species presentations
- 8.30pm - optional night walk to the Currawong Bush Park Wetlands.
Special instructions
Download the Melbourne Water Frog Census App before coming to the session.
Please come prepared for the weather and an outdoor walk at night. Bring a torch and good quality shoes as the bush track to the wetlands can be steep and slippery.

Article Content
A new larger-than-life exhibition is now open at the Manningham Art Gallery in Doncaster.
Pages of Me: A Bird, an Eye, Clouds, Ice cream, is a multimedia project by celebrated Melbourne artist and designer Beci Orpin.
Drawing from her textile-focused background, Orpin delves into mascot culture by creating a giant cat called Pomme, set in a display of oversized pages pulled from her sketchbook, blending bold patterns, found images and positive mantras.
The exhibition explores finding happiness through individuality and acceptance, and visitors are drawn in to read the mantras from Orpin’s pages and catch further glimpses of Pomme.
“The idea for the mascot came from seeing a series of photos of mascots caught in odd, unexpected places – doorways, ticket booths, elevators,” Orpin said.
“It struck me both as comical and a metaphor for getting ‘stuck in the cracks’. I often say that ‘the cracks’ are where I exist – somewhere between creative categories, never fully fitting into one genre.
“Though it can be challenging to exist in ‘the cracks’, it’s where I’m most authentic, where I can be fully myself and do my best work.”
Visitors are encouraged to get creative at the gallery themselves, drawing their own mascot, based on their unique qualities.
Orpin is known for her signature application of colour, shape and optimism. She has collaborated with major brands and organisations including Apple, Google Disney, Uniqlo and the Australian Ballet.
Manningham Mayor Deirdre Diamante said: “We’re thrilled to have such a highly regarded artist exhibit at the Manningham Gallery. It’s a wonderful exhibition and I encourage you to come and see it for yourself while you can.”
Pages of Me continues until Saturday 5 April 2025.
Manningham Art Gallery, 687 Doncaster Road, Doncaster, is open Wednesdays to Saturdays, 11.00am to 4.00pm.

The State Government has now commenced works for the North East Link Program (NELP).
The project will include construction of the North East Link Tunnels, which will connect the Metropolitan ring road (M80) and Eastern Freeway (M3), as well as:
- the completion of the Ring Road in Greensborough
- an overhaul the Eastern Freeway
- Melbourne’s first dedicated busway
- the North East Trail – more than 34km of walking and cycling paths.
North East Link is split into five construction packages, with the following three located in Manningham:
- Central/tunnels
- South
- East
Council is continuing to work diligently alongside North East Link Program and State Government on all aspects of the project.
We’re committed to representing community interests with the aim of mitigating impacts, as far practicable, to the community.

Sports and recreation
Bulleen Park
Bulleen Park is being upgraded to support sporting clubs during the construction of North East Link.
Future redevelopment of Bulleen Park will allow for continued use of the sporting and recreation facilities during the delivery and following the completion of the North East Link Program (NELP).
The redevelopment will result in a major upgrade to the football (AFL) and cricket facilities and include:
- two new replacement pavilions
- realignment and redevelopment of the three existing sports ovals
- upgrades to sports field lighting, cricket nets, and fencing
- planting of new trees and vegetation
- upgrading playground equipment and park amenities
- reconfigured car parking.
The project is expected to be completed by 2028. During this period, NELP will continue to provide user groups with construction updates to keep the community informed of progress and milestones.
Bulleen Park FAQs for sporting clubs, March 2025
Powerful Owl Park
Manningham's newest and much anticipated soccer facility, Powerful Owl Park is now completed.
Development Victoria worked in conjunction with North East Link Program (NELP) to deliver the facility to ensure community impacts are minimised by changes at Bulleen Park.
We will manage the facility on behalf of NELP, as part of the overall management of Manningham sporting reserves, and in accordance with required conditions of use.
The new sporting facility will include:
- three soccer fields (two natural turf and one synthetic pitch)
- a sports pavilion with tiered seating and player change rooms, umpire and first aid amenities
- 176 car park spaces
- a nature play area; and,
- walking and cycling connections to the Yarra River.
We worked diligently alongside North East Link Program and the State Government for a commitment to deliver the facility and to ensure community impacts are minimised by changes at Bulleen Park.
Powerful Owl Park FAQs, July 2024
Park and Ride
Doncaster Park and Ride
Doncaster Park and Ride will be upgraded as part of NELP. We are advocating that the Doncaster Busway (including the Bulleen Park and Ride) be designed to operate and function as part of a network-wide Bus Rapid Transit system. This is beyond the busway corridor that is proposed along the Eastern Freeway between Hoddle Street and Doncaster Road.
We are also advocating for the State Government and NELP to amend the NELP Doncaster Park and Ride reference design to a mixed-use transit-oriented development.
At this stage the State Government has only committed to a like for like upgrade, which will result in the reconstruction of the Park and Ride to be retained as a carpark only.
Bulleen Park and Ride
Bulleen Park and Ride is now open. The new bus station on the corner of Thompsons Road and Kampman Street in Bulleen is the first part of the Eastern Express Busway – Melbourne's first dedicated busway from Doncaster towards the city and features:
- parking for 370 cars
- bike storage
- pick-up and drop-off bays
- a 5000 square metre green roof.
Templestowe Road
We have successfully negotiated for the Victorian Government to commence detailed planning work and a business case for the duplication and upgrade of Templestowe Road (from Bridge Street to Thompsons Road). This will include shared pedestrian and bike paths along the north side.
Environment
Tree planting
NELP will plant two replacement trees for every tree removed during construction of the project.
A key objective for Council is to ensure that the loss of tree canopy and vegetation is minimised and mitigated. We're working closely with NELP to identify appropriate locations for early tree planting to occur to allow the new canopy to establish. Some early planting has already occurred across various locations in Manningham, including Katrina Reserve (Doncaster) and Finns Reserve (Lower Templestowe).
Council has planted more than 500 trees since 2022 within various reserves in Manningham on behalf of NELP. We will continue to support the early planting program.
River Red Gum, Bulleen
The historic 300 year old River Red Gum on Bridge Street in Bulleen is in close proximity to major North East Link works and must be protected. This tree is a local landmark, pre-dates European settlement and is an important example of our environmental heritage.
We will continue to regularly attend when works are being undertaken near the tree to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are undertaken.
Air quality and noise
We are continuing to advocate to NELP and other State authorities to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to mitigate the air quality impacts of the project on the health and wellbeing of the local community.
We are also working closely with NELP to ensure that noise associated with construction is mitigated as far as practicable. Any noise emitting works that may exceed noise levels are also planned to occur either during the day or early in the night, as far as practicable. Affected residents are also notified prior to the works that noise may occur during a time period with a direct NELP contact provided to them to call where concerns are raised.
