The Unfinished Business exhibition reveals the stories of 30 First Nations people with disability.

Their deeply personal stories are complex and intertwined with Australia’s political and social history, which has resulted in today’s unacceptably high rates of disability in Australia’s First Nations communities. This was a collaborative project between participants and Artist and Social Documentarian, Belinda Mason Knierim OAM.

With thanks to Australian Museum for loaning Unfinished Business to Manningham.

 Warning: First Nations Peoples should be aware that this exhibition contains images, voices, or names of deceased persons.

​Join us this NAIDOC week for a special screening of the Unfinished Business Documentary at Doncaster Library.

This moving documentary tells the stories of 30 First Nations people living with disabilities. Their deeply personal stories are complex and intertwined with Australia’s political and social history, which has resulted in today’s unacceptably high rates of disability in Australia’s First Nations Communities.

Their stories are also featured in the Unfinished Business exhibition, which is showing at Manningham Art Gallery until Saturday 29 July.

Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Uncle John Baxter: Latja Latja/Narungga man, Board Member Reconciliation Victoria and First Peoples Disability Network, Aboriginal Partnership Coordinator - Brotherhood of St Laurence/NDIS, participant and creative collaborator of Unfinished Business. 

Attendees will also have the chance to view the exhibition at their own pace.

The Unfinished Business Documentary is a creative collaboration between brothers, Liam and Dieter Knierim, Belinda Mason Knierim OAM, and participants.

This is a free and accessible event. Bookings not required. Refreshments will be provided.

 Warning: First Nations peoples should be aware that this exhibition contains images, voices, or names of deceased persons.

Access symbols - wheelchair, service dogs and audio described

This is a great place for kids to explore and immerse themselves in the outside world.

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 with a total fire ban higher than severe 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. 

CFA's Fire Danger Rating scale, a half circle comprised of four coloured wedges titled moderate, high, extreme and catastrophic

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.

Safer Together

  • different types of vegetation

Apply for busking approval
… Get approval to perform in Manningham. Tags Businesses Event organisation … Apply for busking approval …

Do you have a talent for music and dance? Perhaps magic is more your speed? Then why not share your talents with the community.

We love our residents displaying their talents in public spaces, while enjoying the benefits of public performance. But before you do, there’s a few things you should know.

If you’d like to busk on land that we own, you must:

  • apply for busking approval
  • follow our guidelines on which sites are appropriate for busking
  • comply with our busking approval conditions, below

 

Places where busking is allowed

You’re able to busk at several shopping precincts and plaza. You should be aware that some shopping precincts are privately owned. So, they’re not within our jurisdiction and permits don’t apply. You should contact the management of the shopping centre for approval to busk.

Busking approval conditions

To busk on Council-owned sites, approval from Manningham Council is required and the following conditions apply:

  1. A Council approved and current approval is to be carried at all times when busking and produced when requested by a Council Local Laws Officer.
  2. Applicants are limited to request a maximum of 4 sites per month.
  3. Buskers under the age of 14 years must be accompanied at all times during their public performance by a parent/guardian.
  4. Busking applications submitted by performers under the age of 18 years must have parent/guardian consent and provide contact details to confirm consent. Manningham Council reserves the right to request a hardcopy parental consent.
  5. Busking is only to be conducted between 9.00am and 9.00pm, or otherwise as requested by the relevant Traders Association
  6. No busker may obstruct any footpath, carriageway, shop entrance and/or exit, or other public or private thoroughfare. Performers and their equipment must be a minimum of 2.5 metres from the shop front to allow for unobstructed pedestrian movement along the footpath. Please refer to Council’s Footpath Trading Guidelines for further details. No electrical cords into shops are to be used to power equipment
  7. Prior to performing, the busker must obtain the verbal permission of the shopkeeper(s)/ trader(s) located directly adjacent to the performance area in order to agree to the location and length of time the busker will perform in that space (limited to a maximum of two hours in one location). The busker must cease performing immediately if requested to do so by any trader adjacent to the performance area.
  8. A performance location must not be within 100 metres of another busker or shopkeeper(s)/trader(s) public performance/activity. A Street Stall or fundraising activity will take precedent over a Busking approvals.
  9. No collection of personal information from the public is allowed. Performers may only distribute their own details using a professional card or flier.
  10. A suitable receptacle for the receipt of public donations or relevant sale items can be placed within the performance area. No active soliciting of money or active selling of audio visual or printed material is permitted.
  11. Buskers must have enough performance content such that they are presenting entertaining and non-repetitive material.
  12. Electronic amplification is not permitted unless otherwise agreed directly with the relevant Traders Association or body corporate. If a music track is required (e.g. to accompany a dance item) the music must be kept at a reasonable level and not require electrical cords or outlets. Music volume must be turned off or reduced if requested by any centre/shopkeeper.
  13. Buskers are required to perform in a manner that is safe for the public realm, undertaking no activities that may present as a risk (or perceived risk) to the public, themselves, property or traders. No fire or other dangerous materials or equipment are to be used in any busking performance.
