Manningham Council recently endorsed its plan for improving the liveability of Manningham from now through to 2040 with its Liveable City Strategy.

The Liveable City Strategy 2040 is Council’s plan to enhance access to local activity centres, housing choice, employment opportunities, active and public transport options, parks and community spaces.
The strategy has been finalised following extensive community consultation on the draft strategy late last year.

A key objective of the strategy is to improve the liveability of Manningham by achieving a network of 20-minute neighbourhoods.

A 20-minute neighbourhood is a place where you have the ability to meet most of your needs locally within a 20-minute journey from your home – by walking, cycling or local public transport.

Manningham Mayor, Cr Michelle Kleinert said the strategy provides a plan for Manningham into the future.

“Our Liveable City Strategy has been developed to help ensure Manningham continues to evolve for all of our community as a liveable, resilient and desirable place to be.

“Whether you live, work or play in Manningham, we know maintaining and enhancing liveability and connecting our community is important to everyone,” Cr Kleinert said.

The implementation of the strategy will now begin with a variety of initiatives for our activity centres, recreational links, a housing strategy, ‘Design Excellence Program’ and more.
