Can't find what you're looking for?
Come along to find out how you can electrify everything to improve your home environment, and ease the burden on your budget.
This webinar will explore essential transition areas including:
- why an all-electric home
- the benefits of getting off gas
- which items need attention
- how to plan your transition
- what assistance and rebates are available.
Our presenter, Ian Moxon, is a seasoned sustainability consultant with over 15 years of experience in this field. He’ll share his extensive knowledge and valuable industry insights into the benefits of changing to an all-electric home.
This event is part of our Inspired Living Series. This series showcases an exciting range of fun and sustainable activities and events for all ages, supporting sustainability at home, in the community and at work.
Bookings are essential.
As gas prices increase and more people are looking at ways to reduce their carbon footprint, the transition to an all-electric home is both financially appealing and a sure way to take action against climate change.
This information session will help you understand:
- economic and environmental benefits of reducing your household gas (and fuel) consumption
- steps to creating an efficient, all-electric home that can accommodate electric vehicles in the future
- ways to power your home with renewables, if your household is not able to have solar
- your eligibility for the wide range of rebates
All Manningham residents who attend on the night will go into the draw to win a Virtual Home Energy Assessment worth $225!
This phone assessment will be tailored to your household, helping you to plan for a cost-effective and comfortable transition away from gas. We may contact the winner to check on progress in both reducing bills and making the home more energy efficient.
To attend this event, you must have an internet enabled PC or device and be able to download Zoom. Don’t have Zoom? Download it for free. You’ll be provided with the Zoom meeting link when you book.
This free information session is brought to you by Manningham and the Australian Energy Foundation. If you're unable to make the session, you can still learn more about how to keep your home cool while saving energy on the Australian Energy Foundation website.
This event is for Manningham residents only.

Discover the sculptures dotted around the trails in the bush. Landscapers, sculptors and artists have helped create a natural play space for kids to explore at Currawong Bush Park. Can you spot the kangaroo? Play in the woven cubby, curl up in the giant nest or count the ants the echidna is about to eat.
See if you can spot the native birds, lizards and frogs on your adventure, or maybe you will be lucky enough to catch sight of a wombat, or koala.
Stay for a bite to eat and enjoy a picnic in the bush, or cook up a feast using the onsite barbecue.
Places and spaces
There are many tracks around the park to explore on foot. Our self-guided walks will familiarise you with different areas such as the scar tree and the billabong:
- All Manna of Gums Walking Guide – Takes you along the Mullum Mullum Creek via the Mullum Mullum Trail and Currawong Bush Park
- Currawong Bush Park Walks are a series of eight walks, each focusing on different aspects of the reserve. All of these walks start and finish at Currawong bush Park. Downloading the audio guides will enhance your Currawong experience
- Mullum Mullum Trail is popular with nature loving cyclists and walkers. The trail runs on the other side of the Mullum Mullum Creek and is connected to Currawong Bush Park with a pedestrian bridge just north of Reynolds Road.
- Conference Centre available for hire for your next functions, meetings or seminars
Getting there and car parking
You can park your car at one of the two carparks from the Reynolds Road entrance.
- The first carpark is at the top of the driveway and is closest to the conference centre.
- The second carpark is closer to the park, you will find the carpark further along the road.
Walk to the park and enjoy the surroundings. Cross the pedestrian bridge near the Mullum Mullum Trail north of Reynolds Road. This track forms part of a 4.5 kilometer circuit walk through the park or for a shortcut, take the driveway to the central area.
Take the bike and use the pedestrian bridge from the Mullum Mullum Trail and the vehicle track from Arnold Drive. To protect the park and animals that live here, you can only use bikes on vehicle tracks.
Please also check the weather before arriving, the park will be closed on total fire bans days.
Please don't bring your dog
Dogs are not allowed at Currawong Bush Park because it is a protected habitat.
Fire safety at Currawong Bush Park
All Manningham reserves are closed on days of total fire ban, or higher extreme or catastrophic Fire Danger Rating. Visiting a reserve on these days places you at risk and potentially in danger.
To check the current Fire Danger Rating or find out if it’s a total fire ban day, go to the CFA website.
Report an issue
Please let us know if you notice anything unsafe, like a broken tree branch or damaged playground.
What we do to reduce fire risk at Currawong Bush Park
Finer fuels such as leaf litter, tree branches and twigs raise the level of risk within reserves. Large fallen trees require a much higher level of heat to burn and provide habitats for native wildlife.
Here are some actions we take throughout the year to reduce the fire risk at this reserve:
- create and maintain fuel breaks within the reserve
- maintain grass heights with slashing, brush cutting and tractors year round
- remove fine fuels such as loose and fallen branches
- annual inspection and maintenance of Fire Access Tracks, to ensure emergency service vehicles can access the reserve
- inspect access points, gates and locks
We manage 20 per cent of the land in Manningham, but the other 66 per cent is privately owned. Visit the CFA website for information on how to prepare your private property for fire.
