Please be advised that as of 2 March 2022, payment of Landscape Bonds is currently suspended. We are not currently accepting payment, and any applications currently awaiting the payment of a landscape bond will be processed without payment. This includes assessment of any plans submitted for endorsement.
A landscape bond is a condition of a planning permit. As part of an approved development, we ask for a payment of a bond to ensure that landscaping works are satisfactorily completed.
Not all permits require the payment of a bond. If a permit has a condition requiring payment of a bond, payment must be made before we process any plans for endorsement.
Anyone can pay a landscape bond, though it is usually paid by the developer or property owner. The person, business or company who pays the bond will receive your money back once you have completed the development and landscaping satisfactorily.
Bonds are generally charged based on the number of dwellings in a development. Calculation rates may be different for major developments such as apartments and non-residential buildings.
Bonds required as part of permits issued after 1 July 2019 are also subject to a non-refundable administration fee.
If there is a change of ownership of a property, you will need to update the details of who will receive the bond refund or the contact details of the bond owner.
To update bond details, download and complete a landscape bond transfer of details form below.
When submitting a form make sure to include all of the following:
Make sure to review the checklist on the form so you will know what information you will need to provide.
We will only refund a bond after satisfactory completion of landscaping works. If there is a transfer of property to a new owner, the parties will need to settle privately the transfer of funds for the bond.
If you want a refund of a landscape bond after the completion of a development, you can request a post-construction inspection.
You will get your bond refunded after the completion of 2 satisfactory inspections. The second inspection will take place 13 weeks after the first one to ensure you’ve maintained the landscaping.
You can request a refund of a bond after the expiry of the permit. We will only give you a refund in a situation where we can’t extend a permit. This is generally 6 months after the expiry date.
Contact us to request a release of a bond for an expired permit.
A terrible water shortage has crippled the Gotham-like town that serves as the setting for Urinetown.
In a mad attempt to regulate water consumption, the government has outlawed the use of private toilets. The citizenry must use public, pay-for-use amenities owned and operated by the corrupt and iron-fisted Caldwell B. Cladwell. The privilege to pee is expensive, draining and dangerous. Anyone who refuses to pay to pee is immediately and without question hauled off to Urinetown.
What is Urinetown? Nobody knows, for those who are sent there are never heard from again. But it's really a love story and there's a revolution all before the end of Act I. Will the revolution succeed? Can true love be found in Urinetown? All these questions and more are answered in Urinetown.
Auslan interpreted performance: Friday 8 September, 8.00pm to 10.00pm.
Presented by Phoenix Theatre Company.
Supported by Manningham's Community Grant Program.

Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi born visual artist based in Melbourne. In 2019, she earned a Master of Creative Arts from Deakin University, Australia.
Her practice explores the presence of duality in nature and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
Nature is the core inspiration to A Symphony of Dichotomies; forms, shapes, and elements of nature, in particular, birds are depicted as a metaphor to reflect the coexistence of inner and external worlds, freedom of soul, infinitude and self-reflection, to create immersive watercolour and ink paintings; alongside the site-specific installation. The works are meditative and inquisitive, asking us to marvel at and pay closer attention to our lived environment.

Manningham Council is reminding residents who smoke to make sure they are aware of their surroundings and not to light up in prohibited smoking areas.
A man recently faced Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on a number of charges; including smoking in an enclosed workplace at Westfield Doncaster, failing to state his name and address to Manningham Council’s Local Laws Officers, and littering.
The man pleaded guilty and was placed on a 12 month good behaviour bond and ordered to pay nearly $800 to the Magistrates’ Court.
It is a timely reminder to smokers to ensure they only smoke in designated smoking areas or they risk an on-the-spot fine of $148.
Manningham Council is committed to promoting the health and wellbeing of the community and regularly patrols prohibited smoking areas.
Prohibited smoking areas include; skate parks, public swimming pools, shopping centre car parks, loading docks and any area of the workplace that is significantly enclosed.
Manningham Council has recently noticed a spike in the number of residents and businesses misusing street litter bins in the municipality.
This has resulted in the unsightly overflow of bins, and litter to spill onto streets and nearby properties.
Street litter bins are only provided for the disposal of small items, such as drink containers, food packaging and cigarette butts.
Under the Environment Protection Act, it is an offence to dump household or commercial waste into or next to a street litter bin.
Anyone caught dumping waste illegally at a street litter bin may receive an on the spot fine of $295.
Manningham Council understands from time to time residents will have excess litter from a house party or special event. In these cases, residents are asked to dispose of their excess waste at either the Banyule Waste Recovery Centre or the Whitehorse Recycling and Waste Transfer Centre for a one off charge; however excess recyclables can be disposed of for free.
If excess rubbish is being generated on a regular basis, residents and businesses can upgrade their bin options by calling Council’s Waste Management Officers on 9846 0579.
Residents who witness anyone dumping waste illegally or littering, are asked to record the location, date, time and other important details (e.g. car registration) and report it to the Manningham Litter Watch hotline 1800 NO LITTER (1800 665 488).
Manningham Council is now providing a self-service option for its residents and customers, enabling them to lodge, view and pay for planning permits online.
Individuals and businesses that need to lodge a planning permit can now submit their application, view its status and make a payment through the Manningham Council website.
People no longer need to mail documents, or visit Council’s customer service counter in person. Instead, they can log on to the website at a time that suits them.
Last month, the system was recognised with the overall award for ‘Best Customer Experience Achievement of the Year’ at the 2018 Municipal Association of Victoria Technology Awards.
Manningham Council CEO Warwick Winn said Council is committed to being a contemporary, connected and customer focussed organisation.
“We are focussed on providing real time interaction and more choices around how our customers can connect with us to meet our community’s needs now and into the future,” Mr Winn said.
Manningham Council Director of Shared Services Philip Lee agreed, adding that improved digital capabilities is one way Council is working towards enhancing customer experience.
“We are aware of the changing needs and expectations of our residents and customers, and recognise there is an opportunity to provide more options in their dealings with Council,” he said.
