  3. Successful applicants must comply with all relevant State and Federal government legislation that apply to pertaining to the funded activity. If the funded activity involves contact with children, your group or organisation may be required to obtain a Working with Children (WWC) Check. To find out if you need a WWC Check or are exempt, visit the Working With Children website.
  4. Council’s Community Grant Program is a competitive funding scheme and the funding allocation is awarded on the merit of the application.

  8. Canvassing or lobbying Councillors, Council employees or independent assessors, in relation to a grant application, is prohibited. Lobbying or canvassing relevant officers may result in your application being deemed ineligible.
  9. For the protection of grant applicants and those involved in the assessment process, all Council officers, Councillors and community members involved in the grant assessment process are required to declare their interest prior to assessing any grant applications or reviewing project evaluations and reports. This process ensures that a clear or perceived conflict of interest is promptly identified, addressed and recorded. In the event of a conflict of interest, the person will not participate in any discussion or decision making relating to the nominated item/s of conflict.

For Community Development, Arts, Festival & Events and Community Partnership Grants:

  1. A Council Report on the recommended funding allocations is presented to Council for consideration. The decision to award grants is made by Council and shall have regards to Council’s responsibilities under the Local Government Act and Council’s decision is final. There is no appeal process.
  2. Applicants will receive notification of the outcome of their application after Council’s decision.

For funded recipients

Funding and Service Agreement (FASA)

  1. Funded recipients will be expected to enter into a Funding and Service Agreement (Agreement) with Council. The Agreement:
    • Establishes a collaborative arrangement between Council and your group or organisation, based on the principles of co-operation and partnership
    • Outlines the roles and responsibilities of Council and your group or organisation in the provision and use of funding allocated under this Agreement
    • Includes general funding Terms and Conditions and may include special conditions relating to the delivery of the grant.
  2. The Agreement must be completed, signed off and returned by the specified date for the funding to be released. Funding will not be made available to groups who submit this documentation after this date or those that currently hold a debt with Council.
  3. Except for Small Grants, all funded recipients will be allocated to a Council officer who is the primary contact for the delivery of the activity. As per the Agreement, regular monitoring will be required with the relevant Council officer to provide activity support, identify emerging themes and monitor performance.
  4. Any changes to the use of Council funding for purposes other than outlined in the Agreement must be approved by Council in writing. If the grant is not utilised for the stated purpose, the organisation must guarantee repayment in full to Council, plus interest earned, within one month of the end of the Agreement.
  5. Funding that remains unspent upon the end of the Agreement must be repaid to Council within one month (of the end of the Agreement), unless activity changes are approved by Council in writing within 14 days of notification.
  6. Allocation of funds to a community organisation for any purpose, in any funding round, must not be taken as a commitment by Council to provide additional or recurrent funding beyond that specifically provided for in the Agreement.
  7. Funded activities must be completed within twelve months of receipt of funding, unless an alternative arrangement has been approved by Council in writing (prior to the activity completion date).
  8. The Agreement is governed by and is construed to be in accordance with the laws of Victoria.

Permits

  1. If a permit is required for the funded activity, funded recipients must comply with all Council requirements. This includes matters such as road closures, outdoor advertising and temporary food premises.

Funding Allocation

  1. Upon receipt of funding, funded recipients must deposit that sum in the interest-bearing bank account in the name of the organisation nominated in the Application Form.
  2. Council disclaims all liability and responsibility for any direct or indirect loss to the recipient after the release of funding.

Insurance

  1. Funded recipients must take out and keep current during the period of the Agreement, public liability insurance. The public liability policy must be for a minimum of $20 million.
  2. The public liability insurance ensures Council and the recipient against all actions, costs, claims, charges, expenses, and damages whatsoever which may be brought or made or claimed against them arising out of, or in relation to, the funded activity.
  3. A copy of the Certificate of Currency is to be provided to Council before commencement of the funded activity. Funded recipients must also maintain WorkCover insurance, where relevant.

Marketing Requirements

  1. Funded recipients are required to acknowledge receipt of financial assistance from Council in any promotion, publication or advertising of the activities. This includes the use of Council’s logo and giving Councillors and officers the opportunity to attend relevant promotional events. Any publicity material regarding an activity should be submitted to Council’s Grants Team for approval prior to printing. For more information visit www.manningham.vic.gov.au/community-grant-program.

Acquittal and Activity Completion Report

  1. Council reserves the right to conduct financial and performance audits for funding it has provided. Consequently, funded recipients are required to maintain full records of receipts of activity expenditure and performance outputs/outcomes for the relevant period. These records are to be made available to Council and its officers/agents upon request.
  2. Funded recipients are required to complete an Activity Completion Report (acquittal) within 2 months of completing the funded activity online at manningham.smartygrants.com.au . This report certifies that the activity and funding was carried out in accordance with the Agreement. It should include a completed Evaluation Framework, (not required for Small Grants) proof of expenditure of Council funds (receipts and invoices) and copies of marketing material used to promote the funded activity.
  3. Failure to provide a satisfactory acquittal may result in a funded group or organisation being deemed ineligible to receive any further funding from Council. Council’s reporting is directly linked to its requirement to report on how public funds are spent and whether funded groups and organisations have achieved the desired end result. While Council is committed to minimising administrative processes, it is also committed to the collection of high quality information that may be communicated across Council and the community.
Glossary of Terms and Definitions

Acquittal

Acquittal is a formal condition of funding and means accurately reporting on the funded activities and the expenditure of your funding. Proof of expenditure (as well as other information) is required on the completion of your activity. See ‘Activity Completion Report’.

Activity Completion Report

Is a report that ensures grant recipients have administered grant funds responsibly and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Funding and Service Agreement. An Activity Completion Report usually consists of a written report that summarises how the activity fared against the initial objectives of the grant. It also provides a financial statement detailing how the funding was spent. See ‘Acquittal’.

Auspice

Is an agreement where one organisation (the ‘principal organisation’) agrees to apply for funding on behalf of a second organisation that is not incorporated (the ‘auspiced organisation’). If the funding application is successful, the principal organisation then receives, holds and administers the funding to the auspiced organisation so that the auspiced organisation can complete the funded activity. Further information can be found at, http://www.nfplaw.org.au/auspicing.

Company by Limited Guarantee

A company limited by guarantee is a type of legal structure that you may choose for your charity that is registered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Evaluation Framework

Evaluation is an important component of the grants program because it enables organisations to showcase achievements, as well as inform and improve project delivery. (page 9).

Evidence Based

Provides the proof that an activity or program is best placed to respond to an identified community need which may include research, statistics, community consultation, needs analysis, etc.

Funding and Service Agreement (FASA)

A Funding and Service Agreement (Agreement) is a legal and financial agreement entered into between Council and community organisations receiving grant funding.

The categories of an Agreement, a short or long form, reflect the level of funding provided and the required performance of the grant recipient. The FASA states:

  • Purpose of the funding
  • Dollar amount of funding
  • Rights and responsibilities of all parties to the Agreement; including reporting, monitoring and evaluation requirements, and the permits the grant recipient is required to obtain
  • Clear statement of the required outcomes of the grant
  • Terms and conditions of the funding, including the circumstances in which Council can reclaim funding, consequences for breaches of funding conditions and a procedure for the return of unspent funds.
  • Special conditions

Grant

A grant is a sum of money given to organisations for a specified purpose directed at achieving objectives and outcomes consistent with specific policies.

Impact

The desired short to medium term effects or changes that an activity seeks to achieve (e.g. increased community awareness of a particular topic or skills development of a target group, change in behaviour, change in attitude).

Incorporated Association

Being incorporated infers that an organisation has a legal identity of its own, recognised by State and Federal governments and is separate and distinct from the individuals who formed or make up the group.

In-kind Funding Contribution

Is when an organisation contributes goods or services in lieu of providing funds (cash). For example, volunteers hours, use of organisation equipment or facilities (i.e. photocopiers). In-kind contribution must have a $ value, for example the estimated value of volunteer time is $41 per hour.

Non Recurrent Funding

The Annual and Small Grant categories are to fund one-off short to medium term activities. Funding allocations are for one financial year and are not recurrent.

Objectives

Objectives are the big picture aims or goals which a policy, plan, program or activity seeks to achieve (e.g. improved exercise).

Outcome

The desired result of goals and strategies that have been achieved (e.g. a healthier population).

Outdoor Sports Infrastructure Guidelines

The Outdoor Sports Infrastructure Guidelines steer the redevelopment or refurbishment of existing sporting infrastructure and informs the development of new sports infrastructure on a case by case basis. The Council Standard Facility Fit Out sets out what Council will provide and what is not covered.

Political

Taking or belonging to a side in politics or in controversial matters.

Religious

Religion is regarded as a set of beliefs and practices, usually involving acknowledgment of a divine or higher being or power, by which people order the conduct of their lives through promotion of their faith or worship.

SmartyGrants

SmartyGrants is Council’s online grants management system. Applicants must apply online and attach relevant documents to their application.

Statement by Supplier

For organisations that do not have an ABN, applicants are required to complete a Statement by Supplier form as a result of the Commonwealth ‘Pay As You Go’ taxation legislation. Statement by Supplier forms can be located from the Australian Taxation Office at ato.gov.au/Forms/Statement-by-a-supplier-not-quoting-an-ABN/.

Parks improvement program
… Parks improvement program We are committed to managing our city’s … areas and walking paths to manage, our Parks Improvement Program sets out a plan for the future upgrades of all our … planned facility renewal programs. Our Parks Improvement Program identifies opportunities for improvements and ensures …

Did you know that Manningham is one of the leafiest areas of metropolitan Melbourne with more than 656 hectares of Council-managed parks and reserves?

With more than 60km of shared trails, 300 individual parks and reserves, 165 play spaces, numerous picnic areas and walking paths to manage, our Parks Improvement Program sets out a plan for the future upgrades of all our parks over the next 20 years.

We are guided by our Open Space Strategy, the Eastern Region Sport, Recreation and Trail Strategy, specific park masterplans, community requests and planned facility renewal programs.

Our Parks Improvement Program identifies opportunities for improvements and ensures our parks and reserves are well maintained and upgraded as our population grows.

 

What is the Parks Improvement Program?

The Parks Improvement Programs sets out a plan for the future renewal and upgrade of all parks in Manningham over the next 20 years.

 

How was this program developed?

The Parks Improvement Program is based on recommendations from our Open Space Strategy, Eastern Region Sport, Recreation and Trails Strategy, specific masterplans for our parks, feedback and requests from our community and planned facility renewal programs.

 

What are the objectives of this plan?

This program will ensure our parks and reserves remain relevant and accessible to everyone into the future. It will make sure that facilities are in good condition and adapt to changing needs.

 

How is the schedule of renewal and upgrade determined?

For most park facilities like playspaces, furniture, paths and garden beds they need to be renewed every 20-25 years to ensure they are in a good and safe condition. Other factors are the level of use, i.e. Regional parks and playspaces get much higher use and wear out more quickly; the population growth in that neighbourhood; and demand for new facilities like fitness equipment, lighting and trails.

 

Does the program factor in new parks in the future?

Yes a number of new parks or expansion of existing ones has been determined in the Open Space Strategy to cater for gaps in provision, links to other parks or where there is higher density living occurring. These sites will gradually be acquired and developed as they become available.

Current park and playspace upgrades

Manna Gum playspace upgrade

Share your feedback and ideas for our Manna Gum playspace upgrade.  The proposed improvements will include upgrade and replacement of play equipment, more nature play opportunities, improvements to the access path, new tree and garden bed planting.

Burgundy Reserve upgrade

We are upgrading the facilities at Burgundy Reserve. The upgrade will include improved facilities for informal dog off lead activities as well as a new public toilet, an upgraded playspace, and a shelter.

Warrandyte Reserve northern oval upgrade

We are upgrading the facilities at Warrandyte Reserve northern oval. The upgrade will include improvements to the path network, a new shelter at the northern oval, a new drinking fountain, and improved fencing and drainage.

A concrete path leads up to two wooden poles with a gate between them. Above the poles sits a twisted metal sign with the words 'Wombat Bend'. A bushy parkland is in the background.
Wombat Bend playground

We're upgrading the playground at Wombat Bend. The proposed upgrade will include minor enhancement of some play items and existing picnic facilities, as well as replacement of some play equipment that is no longer fit for purpose.

… The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) L2P Program helps eligible Victorian learner drivers gain driving … Apply Assistance and Support Youth … Apply for the TAC L2P program …

What is the TAC L2P program?

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) L2P Program  matches learner drivers aged 16 to 21 years old with a fully licenced volunteer driver and program vehicle to help them gain driving experience required for a probationary licence.

We jointly coordinate and fund the the Manningham Whitehorse L2P program with Whitehorse City Council and with support from the Victorian government.

This free program is funded by the TAC, administered by the Department of Transport and Planning.

 

How the program works

The program matches learner drivers between the ages of 16 and 21 years, who do not have access to a supervising driver or practice vehicle, with a volunteer, fully licensed driver and vehicle.

As part of the program, learners will also have up to seven free driving lessons with a professional driving instructor. 

The aim of the program is to help learners become safe and confident drivers. It’s also an opportunity for young people to interact with positive adult role models and gain social independence.

 

Eligibility requirements for the L2P program

To be eligible, learners must:

  • be between 16 and 21 years old
  • hold a current learner permit
  • have limited or no access to a vehicle or a supervising driver
  • live in the City of Manningham or Whitehorse
  • have limited financial means
  • be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
     

How to apply for the L2P program

For more information visit the TAC L2P program webpage on the Transport Victoria website.

Apply now

 

Become a L2P mentor (supervising driver)

The program also benefits volunteer mentors by allowing them to build community connections and help a young person.

A full training program is available so you’re well prepared to mentor, and understand your role as a supervising driver.

To become a mentor, you must:

  • Be over 21 years old
  • Hold a current Working With Children Check (WWCC)
  • Hold a current full Victorian driver licence 
  • Have a satisfactory full driver licence history report
  • Be medically fit to drive (we may discuss this further through the application process)
  • Can commit to at least 1 hour per week
  • Undertake Manningham's onboarding process for volunteers including Council’s Commitment to Child Safety training
