With a vibrant food and art culture with a touch of history, Manningham is a special place to be. Retaining many of its cultural links, there’s something for everyone in Manningham: from sacred sites of the area’s First Peoples to the early gold mining settlements.
Local government
Local government in the area dates back to the election of the Templestowe District Roads Board in 1856. The first meeting of the Board was at Upper Yarra Hotel, Templestowe.
Proclamation that the Shire of Doncaster and Templestowe took place on 28 February 1967. Up until 15 December 1994, Doncaster and Templestowe Council administered the area until the creation of the City of Manningham. The new city included Doncaster, Templestowe and small sections of the Shire of Lilydale. Wonga Park and part of north Ringwood also became part of Manningham. Three State Government appointed commissioners managed the city until 24 march 1997 when 8 councillors were sworn into office.
Our First Nations heritage
You can see the rich cultural heritage of the area through local landmarks and places of significance. First Peoples have been in Victoria for over 30,000 years and we can still see evidence of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung presence in Manningham.
The European influence (mid 1800s)
From the mid-1800s, European settlement began in Manningham with the earliest building constructed in the 1840s. We still have plenty of places of heritage significance where visitors and locals can explore and admire.

The cottage provides a picture of life in the pioneering days of the late 1800s.
Schramms Cottage dates from approximately 1875. It is an asymmetrical cottage, built of local sandstone with a hip slate roof. It was built for Max von Schramm, a German immigrant, for use as a house and a Lutheran school.
In 1876 von Schramm was appointed the first Lutheran Pastor in Doncaster and he continued to teach at this school until 1884.
The cottage was originally located in Doncaster Road, near the present Council offices and was moved to its current site following a decision to widen Doncaster Road. The process of dismantling and re-erecting the building took place between 1971 and 1975, using largely voluntary labour. Schramms Cottage was opened as a historical centre on 14 February 1976.
