The Manningham Community Panel has reached a significant milestone, charting a course for the future after delivering its final recommendations to Council.
Manningham Mayor Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the Panel’s insights will be invaluable in ensuring that the Council’s strategic plans are grounded in the community's needs and aspirations.
“By listening to the voices of our community, we’re ensuring that our decisions and actions reflect and align with what matters most to our residents,” Cr Diamante said.
“The Panel has played a crucial role in this process, comprising members from diverse age groups, cultural backgrounds and geographic locations that represent the unique tapestry of our community.
“This collaborative approach will help enable us to create a more inclusive, resilient, sustainable and vibrant community for all.”
The Panel was established to identify Manningham's key priorities, challenges and opportunities – to help guide our strategic plans. This includes the Community Vision 2040, the four-year Council Plan, and the 10-year Asset and Financial Plans.
Throughout the process, Panel members deliberated for approximately 1,680 collective hours and heard from over 50 speakers from Council and community.
They handed over their recommendations at the final meeting on 1 February 2025. They span several themes including community safety, transport, open spaces and more.
“Over the coming weeks, we’ll prepare a response to each of the panel’s recommendations, including how they will be implemented or the reasons for not supporting any recommendation,” Cr Diamante said.
“We’re sincerely grateful to the panel members for their time and efforts during this dynamic process and committed to implementing the panel’s recommendations to the fullest extent possible. We’ll ensure their insights are carefully considered in all our decision-making as we plan ahead for Manningham,” the Mayor added.

At the 27 May Council Meeting the draft Council Plan, draft 2025-26 Budget, draft 10 year financial plan and the draft Revenue and Rating Plan were tabled. These have been developed in line with our newly endorsed Community Vision 2040 to help shape the future of Manningham.
These draft strategic documents are now available on Your Say Manningham website and will be presented for endorsement at the 30 June Council Meeting.
Our draft Asset Plan 2025-2035 and the Council Plan Action Plan will be made available at an upcoming Council meeting.
Our strategic documents are informed by extensive community engagement conducted throughout 2024-25.
Many people have helped shape our community’s future. We’ve been planning for the next four years, and we’ve done it by listening closely to our community.
At the heart of this work was the deliberative community panel – a collaborative effort that brought together 37 community members to play a crucial role in helping determine key priorities for Manningham.
Extensive community consultation informed both our strategic planning and the Community Panel’s deliberations, ensuring that our plans are grounded in our community's priorities, needs and aspirations.
This consultation included a community-wide survey last year where we heard from 1,260 community members about what matters most to you and which three areas you think Council should focus on. We also held a series of targeted conversations with key groups and residents including young people, older adults, multicultural communities and partners.
On top of that, many community members sent in their own ideas and suggestions through individual submissions, showing us how Council services can improve and how we can build a better future together.
These community insights gave us a strong and balanced view of our community's wants and needs. It directly shaped our strategic planning and the work of our Community Panel.
Given the depth and quality of feedback received during this process, a separate public submission process will not be held for this year’s strategic plans.
We thank everyone who contributed. We’re all part of the plan and your voices are shaping the future of our community.

We’re seeking feedback on our draft Road Safety Strategy 2025-2035, which identifies road improvements, targeted education and speed zone reviews as our key priorities.
The draft strategy outlines clear objectives and a detailed action plan to enhance road safety and reduce traffic-related accidents, injuries and fatalities
Our Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, said this strategy will guide proactive projects and programs over the next decade.
“We’re committed to improving our transport system as we strive for ‘Vision Zero’— where nobody is seriously injured or killed on our roads,” said Cr Diamante.
“To plan for safer roads, we first needed to understand the local issues and experiences of road users in Manningham.
“We received more than 200 responses to last year’s community survey, which told us what matters most to our community.
“Now we want to ensure the proposed strategy and action plan accurately reflects community priorities,” she said.
Key proposed actions include:
- road safety audits in high-risk areas
- infrastructure upgrades
- speed limit reviews
- continual road user education
- updates to the Manningham Walking and Cycling Strategy
The draft strategy was informed by feedback from last year’s community consultation, local road safety data, input from road safety partners and aligns with State and Federal strategies.
Have Your Say
Provide feedback by completing our survey on the draft Road Safety Strategy 2025-2035 via Your Say Manningham by 21 February 2025.
Feedback from the community and Councillors will shape the final version of the strategy, which will be presented for Council endorsement in early 2025.

We’re excited to announce the first public electric vehicle (EV) charger location: Bulleen Car Park. ...
Article Content
UPDATED: Public electric vehicle (EV) charger location updated on Tuesday 6 May to reflect revised project timelines.
We’re excited to announce the first public electric vehicle (EV) charger location: Bulleen Car Park.
About the charger
Planned for installation in June 2025, this charging station is part of a broader rollout of nine public EV chargers across Manningham.
Powered by renewable energy, this Jolt fast charger is compatible with all EVs. It will provide 7 kWh of free daily charge (up to 50 km of range), with additional charge ranging from 54 to 59 cents per kWh, depending on the location.
There will be one charger, servicing two parking bays.
Following engagement with the local businesses, this location was selected for its proximity to commercial, recreational and tourist destinations, as well as its access to reliable power supplies.
Why we’re supporting EVs
By installing these charging stations – and the six more to follow – we aim to accommodate the growing use of electric vehicles, especially following new legislated vehicle standards.
We’re also responding to community support for local public charging facilities, as revealed in our 2023 Manningham community survey.
The public charging network will help ensure that EV charging is accessible and practical while also reducing our transport emissions, boosting local businesses with enhanced car parking, and supporting EV drivers to travel with confidence.

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of the Hon. Kevin Andrews.
As the long-standing Federal member for Menzies, Kevin was a wonderful advocate for the Manningham community and supporter of Manningham Council.
Kevin served his country as a part of the Commonwealth government at the highest levels and genuinely loved Australia.
Anyone who heard Kevin speak at a local Anzac Day or Remembrance Day ceremony would recall his authenticity and eloquence in acknowledging those who served and articulating his passion for Australia.
Most of all Kevin loved his family.
On behalf of Manningham Council I extend our deepest sympathies to Margie and his family and this sad time.
Kevin's legacy is substantial and enduring.

We're installing new public toilets at Cat Jump Park, Donvale....
Article Content
Updated: 9 September 2025
We're installing new public toilets at Cat Jump Park, Donvale.
This project is part of the Public Toilet Plan 2021 and Cat Jump Park Masterplan.
Where is it?
These public toilets will be located on the southern side of Cat Jump Park, near the Bellevue Avenue and Leslie Street roundabout in Donvale.
This location is easy to access for use, maintenance, and service connections.
When will it happen?
The installation is scheduled to start in October and finish in late December 2025, weather permitting.
Why is it needed?
Accessible public toilets allow people to spend more time in public spaces, socialising, exercising, and engaging with the community. Without them, residents and visitors are limited in where they can go and how long they can stay.
A safe, well-maintained, and environmentally friendly toilet will significantly improve the experience for Cat Jump Park visitors.
What will the toilets look like?
The new modular toilets will include:
- An accessible cubicle
- An ambulant cubicle
- Baby and child change facilities
- A rainwater tank to utilise a natural water supply
- External and internal powered lighting
- Skylights for natural lighting
- Concrete paths to connect the toilets with surrounding facilities
How will the works affect me?
To minimise any potential noise or disruption to the community, our modular toilets are made offsite and will be delivered to the site.
Workers will usually be on site between 7:00am and 5:00pm weekdays.
During the installation, you may notice some construction noise and increased traffic in the area.

The 2025 Manningham Asian Cultural Festival will feature a fantastic lineup of cultural performances, delicious street food and family friendly activities as well as fireworks.
A celebration of culture and community, the festival will be held on Sunday 9 March 2025 at Doncaster Reserve, next to the Jackson Court activity centre.
We’re proud to be a major sponsor of the event, an initiative of the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse (ABAW), organisers of the hugely popular Lunar New Year Festival in Box Hill.
Our Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, attended the official launch of the festival at Jackson Court last week, welcoming the opportunity to support the association in bringing such an exciting opportunity to Manningham.
“Manningham is a proud multicultural community. Forty-four per cent of our population is born overseas, coming from an incredible 99 different countries including China, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Vietnam,” Cr Diamante said.
“It’s events such as these that really bring us together to celebrate what makes our diverse community so special," Cr Diamante said.
"We thank the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse for bringing the festival to Manningham.
“This will also highlight our fantastic local traders at Jackson Court and is just one of the many ways Council is working to support businesses and build a strong local economy.”
