Please be advised that as of 2 March 2022, payment of Landscape Bonds is currently suspended. We are not currently accepting payment, and any applications currently awaiting the payment of a landscape bond will be processed without payment. This includes assessment of any plans submitted for endorsement.
A landscape bond is a condition of a planning permit. As part of an approved development, we ask for a payment of a bond to ensure that landscaping works are satisfactorily completed.
Not all permits require the payment of a bond. If a permit has a condition requiring payment of a bond, payment must be made before we process any plans for endorsement.
Anyone can pay a landscape bond, though it is usually paid by the developer or property owner. The person, business or company who pays the bond will receive your money back once you have completed the development and landscaping satisfactorily.
Bonds are generally charged based on the number of dwellings in a development. Calculation rates may be different for major developments such as apartments and non-residential buildings.
Bonds required as part of permits issued after 1 July 2019 are also subject to a non-refundable administration fee.
As of 2 March 2022, payment of Landscape Bonds is currently suspended. We are not currently accepting payment, and any applications currently awaiting the payment of a landscape bond will be processed without payment. This includes assessment of any plans submitted for endorsement.
If there is a change of ownership of a property, you will need to update the details of who will receive the bond refund or the contact details of the bond owner.
To update bond details, download and complete a landscape bond transfer of details form below.
When submitting a form make sure to include all of the following:
Make sure to review the checklist on the form so you will know what information you will need to provide.
We will only refund a bond after satisfactory completion of landscaping works. If there is a transfer of property to a new owner, the parties will need to settle privately the transfer of funds for the bond.
If you want a refund of a landscape bond after the completion of a development, you can request a post-construction inspection.
You will get your bond refunded after the completion of 2 satisfactory inspections. The second inspection will take place 13 weeks after the first one to ensure you’ve maintained the landscaping.
You can request a refund of a bond after the expiry of the permit. We will only give you a refund in a situation where we can’t extend a permit. This is generally 6 months after the expiry date.
Contact us to request a release of a bond for an expired permit.

A terrible water shortage has crippled the Gotham-like town that serves as the setting for Urinetown.
In a mad attempt to regulate water consumption, the government has outlawed the use of private toilets. The citizenry must use public, pay-for-use amenities owned and operated by the corrupt and iron-fisted Caldwell B. Cladwell. The privilege to pee is expensive, draining and dangerous. Anyone who refuses to pay to pee is immediately and without question hauled off to Urinetown.
What is Urinetown? Nobody knows, for those who are sent there are never heard from again. But it's really a love story and there's a revolution all before the end of Act I. Will the revolution succeed? Can true love be found in Urinetown? All these questions and more are answered in Urinetown.
Auslan interpreted performance: Friday 8 September, 8.00pm to 10.00pm.
Presented by Phoenix Theatre Company.
Supported by Manningham's Community Grant Program.
Our community panel came together for the first time on Saturday for the first of six and half day’s deliberation.
The Panel recruitment started with 8000 envelopes sent randomly to local households. Of those who accepted the invitation, a second random draw resulted in the final 40 people chosen. This second draw was ‘stratified,’ set up, so people chosen were representative of Manningham by age, gender, location, living situation and the language spoken at home.
This will be our most significant deliberative engagement to date, with the panel set to play a crucial role in shaping our major strategic plans.
Here’s some feedback from two panel members after day one:
“I was surprised when I got the invite but said to myself, I have grandchildren and what better way to leave a legacy for them but to have a say into shaping Manningham.”
“I am from an accounting background so especially interested to look at Council’s financial documents and exploring that side of the process.”
You can also participate in the deliberative process by registering to be an observer. Observing the process means that you can form your own assessment of the merits of the deliberative approach.

How to enrol in the program
Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi born visual artist based in Melbourne. In 2019, she earned a Master of Creative Arts from Deakin University, Australia.
Her practice explores the presence of duality in nature and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
Nature is the core inspiration to A Symphony of Dichotomies; forms, shapes, and elements of nature, in particular, birds are depicted as a metaphor to reflect the coexistence of inner and external worlds, freedom of soul, infinitude and self-reflection, to create immersive watercolour and ink paintings; alongside the site-specific installation. The works are meditative and inquisitive, asking us to marvel at and pay closer attention to our lived environment.
