Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter. This is an essential role of local government.
We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.
Manningham is the only municipality in metropolitan Melbourne not serviced by either a tram or train. Therefore, our buses are crucial to how our residents move around.
The Doncaster corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) proposal is Council's public transport priority, as it can provide Manningham residents with a direct mass transit public transport connection to the CBD at a cost-effective and shorter timeframe.
Jumping Creek Road Wonga Park is in a unique and environmentally sensitive area. The road is being upgraded to improve safety for all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, whilst also protecting our wildlife and vegetation.
The works are expected to cost up to $21 million over the project life. This is a significant burden for the Manningham community, and we seek contributions from all levels of government to enable this project to proceed.
5 Ways is a complex staggered intersection on State controlled arterial roads in Warrandyte South that experiences significant congestion and has a poor safety performance.
This intersection experiences significant congestion and has a poor safety performance, with one serious injury, and five other injury crashes in the past five years.
The North East Link is Victoria's largest road project. The needs of our community and surrounding environment must be considered, before, during and after construction.
We're advocating for a Doncaster Station to be included in the first phase of construction of the Suburban Rail Loop.
We are seeking increased local access to youth mental health services in Manningham. We support the delivery of a headspace facility to meet demand and create meaningful impacts.
We welcome the announcement of funding for a service and will continue to advocate for local delivery.
We are seeking additional stimulus funding to registered housing services to work in partnerships with other councils to support vulnerable residents, particularly those with a disability.
We are seeking accelerated funding by State Government for more bus services to meet growing demand and infrastructure improvements to improve the reliability and frequency of the local bus network. Key to this, is larger capacity buses and more services during peak periods to be provided on the Doncaster Area Rapid Transit (DART) SmartBus network.
We are also advocating for the implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connection between the CBD and Doncaster as part of the North East Link Doncaster Busway project.
We will continue to advocate for a heavy rail line between the CBD and Doncaster. We are strongly advocating to ensure that the North East Link project preserves a future alignment for Doncaster Rail, and that the design of the Doncaster Busway is delivered in a manner that allows it to be transitioned to heavy rail, once buses the bus system reaches capacity.
Improved transport infrastructure through Doncaster Hill will unlock and complement regional opportunities for improved access to jobs, educational and health facilities and to other community and social services.
Join The Men’s Table for an evening of food and laughter in celebration of Men's Health Week.
What can you expect from the evening?
Hear from The Men’s Table, a men’s peer support group that meets at The Grand Hotel over dinner once a month to share openly about their lives, their challenges, their highs and lows with a group of like-minded men.
No membership fee, just the cost of your meal each month.
This event is proudly supported by Manningham City Council and Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre.
About the Men's Table
The Men’s Table creates a unique environment for men to share openly about their lives with other men.
The Men’s Table creates a sense of belonging, community, peer support and camaraderie that is lacking for many men, even for some who already have a group of mates.
The Men’s Table began in 2011 with 12 men who have met once a month for dinner and has since become a national charity and grown to 59 tables across Australia.
This evening will give you an insight into what it is like to be part of a Men’s Table and how it benefits the community as a whole. We’ll also provide details on how to join a Men’s Table for those men interested in joining.

Council endorsed the draft documents at its meeting last night (30 May).
“We surveyed the community about the forthcoming budget over the summer months and used this information to assist in formulating the Draft Budget and 10-year Financial Plan,” Manningham Mayor, Cr Deirdre Diamante said.
“These important documents outline how we will spend your rates on community services and infrastructure, so be sure to check them out.
“We’re delivering for our community with an operating budget of $146 million to provide more than 100 valuable services for Manningham,” the Mayor added.
We’re also delivering on our Council Plan, including:
• $38 million for a healthy community
• $24 million for liveable places and spaces
• $22 million for a resilient environment
• $5 million for a vibrant prosperous economy
• $31 million for a well governed Council
“We are conscious of cost-of-living pressures in our community and propose over $1 million of relief measures by capping the increase to the waste service charge, increasing our low-income rate rebate and introducing subsidies for school holiday programs,” Cr Diamante said.
Although inflation (CPI) is forecast to be at least 4 per cent in 2023-24 Council’s average general rate increase will be in line with the State Government’s rate cap of 3.5 per cent.
“We are continuing to invest in our community infrastructure with an extensive $54 million capital works program to maintain and enhance Council’s $2.5 billion of community assets.”
This this is in addition to the $20 million allocated to maintaining our important community assets.
“We will also deliver on our Climate Emergency Action Plan to reduce the impacts of climate change,” Cr Diamante said.
Proposed capital works spending includes $13 million over the next four years for circular economy (sustainability) initiatives.
We received more than 200 submissions and in order, your top priorities for Council spending were:
Your feedback informed the Draft Budget and 10 Year Financial Plan. Pick up a copy from the Civic Centre customer service desk or jump online and tell us what you think before 13 June: yoursay.manningham.vic.gov.au/budget-2023-24
The final 2023-24 Budget and 10 Year Financial Plan will be considered for endorsement by Council at its meeting on Tuesday 27 June 2023.
To help protect the welfare of cats and wildlife in Manningham, Council will consider introducing a pilot 24-hour cat confinement order at its meeting on Tuesday 12 December 2023.
If endorsed by Council, from 1 April 2024 cats in Manningham must be confined within the boundary of their owners’ property 24 hours a day.
The proposed implementation will be phased over two years, including an amnesty period between April and December 2024 and an evaluation period in December 2025.
If the pilot is endorsed, we will be focused on community awareness and education on the benefits of cat confinement prior to and during the amnesty period. Manningham’s Domestic Animal Management Plan contains a number of endorsed initiatives to promote responsible pet ownership, one of which is the pilot a 24-hour cat confinement order.
This plan was informed by extensive community consultation and adopted by Council in May 2022. The purpose of the cat confinement order is to:
• Protect the welfare of cats from other animals and cat cruelty caused by human behaviour
• Reduce the risk of cats getting lost or being exposed to extreme weather
• Reduce the risk of cats sustaining traumatic injuries from vehicles
• Protect the health of cats from the transmission of disease from other cats including feline immunodeficiency virus (such as feline AIDS)
• Reduce the risk associated with the transmission of disease from cats and people
• Protect wildlife from the predatory behaviour of cats
Community members can attend the December Council Meeting in person or watch online here.
