What actions will you take to combat climate change?

We have endorsed a draft Climate Emergency Action Plan to meet the climate mitigation targets adopted in late 2021.

Our climate mitigation targets are:

  • net zero emissions by 2028 for Council operations
  • net zero emissions by 2035 for the Manningham community

We are now seeking your feedback on the draft actions which we are planning to meet our goal in achieving net zero emissions.

What can you do?

The draft plan outlines easy ways you can tackle climate change in your neighbourhood, including:

  • Switching to solar
  • Learning more by attending a climate education event
  • Applying for a LEAF grant to preserve your natural values on your property
  • Managing your waste and recycling

The introduction of a food and organic waste, which is scheduled for implementation in July 2023, is one major project we are implementing for our community which will contribute in us achieving net zero within the community.

What have we done?

We have rolled out many initiatives over recent years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These initiatives have included the introduction of:

  • energy efficient LED streetlights,
  • a low emission Electric Vehicle Council fleet,
  • solar power, and
  • green power purchasing and a wind-powered electricity supply through the Victorian Energy Collaboration (VECO).

What actions should we take first?

    We’re all getting older, so let’s end ageism
    … We’re all getting older, so let’s end ageism Manningham has started … East campaign in its last Council Meeting.  On this page All News Seniors … We’re all getting older, so let’s end ageism …
    Article Content

    Manningham has started campaign to end ageism towards older people, after Council endorsed the Tackling Ageism Together: EveryAGE Counts in Melbourne’s East campaign in its last Council Meeting. 

    Challenging the stereotypes of older people, the campaign encourages people to speak up and take action. All nine councillors signed The Pledge to stand for a world without ageism.  

    Manningham Mayor Cr Andrew Conlon said the last Census found there was a higher proportion of people aged over 60 in Manningham than in Greater Melbourne.

    “While ageism can affect people of all ages, when it’s aimed towards older people, it often comes from negative attitudes and beliefs,” he said.

    “It is unfortunate ageism towards older people is not often talked about.

    “It is far more widespread than most of us realise and is fuelled by living in a society where youth is revered and old age is feared.”  

    The campaign aims to start a conversation about ageism and change our attitudes about older people and getting older.

    Ageism is stereotyping, discrimination and mistreatment based solely on a person’s age. When directed towards older people, it affects the confidence, quality of life, job prospects, health and self-esteem of many, and in its extreme, can be a contributing factor in elder abuse.

    Tackling Ageism Together: EveryAGE Counts in Melbourne’s East is a joint campaign with six other eastern metropolitan councils including Boroondara, Knox, Maroondah, Monash, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges. It ties in with the national EveryAGE Counts campaign and is coordinated and supported by the Inner East Primary Care Partnership and supported by the Eastern Community Legal Centre,

    To find out more, support this campaign and sign The Pledge, visit manningham.vic.gov.au/age-friendly-manningham.
