As an environmentally forward thinking Council, we believe the decisions we make today have the potential to change the future for generations to come.
We recognise that climate change is a defining issue of our time and requires a collaborative and urgent response. By actively working together — Council, our community, schools, businesses and partners — we have the opportunity to create a more sustainable future for us all.
Creating a clean and renewable future
As part of our response to climate change, we are continuing to focus efforts on building a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future. We are doing this by reducing emissions from Council operations, managing our energy/water/waste in smart, responsible ways and by building awareness, educating and empowering our community to do the same.
Climate change is already impacting our environment, liveability, our health and local economy and it requires an immediate and urgent response. We all need to work together — Council, the community, schools and businesses — to take action to address the impacts of climate change and work towards a more sustainable future.
Timeline for climate action
What we are doing

Learn about local efforts to reduce energy use and emissions
We encourage the local community to be active participants in reducing energy use and emissions.
Save energy at home and reduce your impact on climate change with these tips:
Solar Savers is a local government initiative helping households and businesses to install quality and affordable rooftop solar and batteries. This initiative is supported by Manningham Council in partnership with Solar Savers.
We provide subsidies to pensioners for roof top solar and to all residents who install batteries purchased through Solar Savers. This is an opportunity for residents, particularly pensioners, to learn how to reduce their energy cost by installing roof top solar. And for those who want to ensure their power stays on, even during blackouts, energy security for the home is now made more affordable.
Benefits of rooftop solar
By installing rooftop solar through Solar Savers, you can:
reduce energy bills
future-proof against increasing energy costs
support the transition to clean, renewable energy.
Receive a free quote
Eligible residents and businesses with suitable rooftops for solar will receive a free quote. The quote will include:
indictive costs
rebates
expected energy and cost savings.
You will have the opportunity to discuss the quote with the installer and Solar Savers to ensure solar power is suitable for you.
Manningham Council subsidies up to $2,000 per household for battery installation
Manningham Council subsidies for pension card holders up to $2,000 for solar systems
Further State Government rebates and loans available for the installation of solar or batteries.
Electrify Everything
The Climate Emergency Action Plan (CEAP) set a target of ‘zero emissions Manningham by 2035’.
Electrification of our homes, cars and workplaces is the fastest, most effective path to stop the planet heating. And the good news is we already have the technology to remove fossil fuels from households. What does this mean? In simple terms, over the next ten years for each household to make plans for replacing gas appliances with electric ones and petrol cars with electric vehicles.
The momentum for electrification is rising in communities all around Australia. Recent actions include:
over 100 local governments have signed up to the 'electrify everything' campaign for the month of May 2023
a world first pilot to 'Electrify 2515' led by the community with the 2515 postcode and inspired by Dr Saul Griffith
Federal Labour energy minister Chris Bowen has promised ‘meaningful and substantial’ electrification measures in the budget announcement on 9 May 2023.

To help protect our suburban native fauna, we have installed eight new canopy bridges as part of upgrade works along Jumping Creek Road, Wonga Park and Brysons Road, Warrandyte South. They will provide safer arboreal pathways for our native wildlife as they move around local habitats.
Here are some ways you can help local wildlife this spring:
slow down on our suburban streets
be vigilant and take note of wildlife signage, particularly during dawn and dusk when they may be more active
put water out to support wildlife in your area on hot days.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Deirdre Diamante, said that many local native animals were more active around roads during the breeding season, increasing risk of injury.
“These canopy bridges encourage our native fauna to make safer road crossings, by connecting suitable habitat on both sides of roads,” she said.
“On the first night, wildlife cameras captured a Brushtailed Phascogale using one of the new canopy bridges. This was a great outcome, demonstrating that they will provide successful pathways and protect our native fauna, now and into the future,” Cr Diamante said.

Water is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of our community and the liveability of Manningham.
Southern Australia is forecast to receive less annual rainfall on average in coming years. This will reduce water availability from water supply catchments. Water demand is also expected to increase as our City grows.
Yet, our changing climate is also expected to bring greater intensity rainfall events, increasing our flood risk and periods of low rainfall with increased drought risk.
We’re working on various flood and stormwater management initiatives to build a more resilient and liveable Manningham.
Part of this work includes developing a draft Integrated Water Management Strategy. It will respond to emerging water challenges and identify opportunities to adapt to a more water constrained future.
Earlier this year, we invited the community to take part in Manningham’s Water Future survey. Thank you to those of you who shared how you use and conserve water and why it’s important to you.
Your responses paint a picture of a community that strongly values the Birrarung (the Yarra River) and our creeks, our environment and wildlife.
The top three reasons why the Birrarung (Yarra River) and Manningham creeks and lakes are important to survey respondents were:
They provide wildlife habitat and support biodiversity.
Promote connections with nature to support mental health and wellbeing.
Assist with cooling during hot weather and improve neighbourhood liveability.
You also told us some of the ways you’re already taking action to build our resilience and conserve water.
98% of respondents use front load washing machines, use dual flush toilets or only run washing machines with full loads.
41% of respondents use rainwater collected from private roofs for watering gardens, toilet flushing, carwashing and other uses.
More than 85% of respondents also support the use of alternative water sources for garden watering, toilet flushing and laundry purposes.
These opportunities will be a key focus of the draft Integrated Water Management (IWM) Strategy, which will be available for public exhibition in mid-2024.

National Water Week (16-22 October) celebrates water innovation and achievements supporting Australia's sustainable future.
We are undertaking various flood and stormwater management initiatives, aimed at building a more resilient and liveable Manningham and to facilitate robust planning for the future.
This includes developing a draft Integrated Water Management Strategy, which will identify opportunities to adapt to a more water constrained future. We’re also undertaking flood mapping for Manningham in partnership with Melbourne Water to better understand flood risk.
Water management is a shared responsibility. To achieve greater environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits, we’re working closely with:
Yarra Valley Water
Melbourne Water
government departments and agencies
Manningham’s Flooding and Stormwater Management Community Reference Panel, and;
the broader community.
Manningham Council is also a member of the Yarra Catchment Integrated Water Management Forum. The Forum provides a collaborative platform across the water industry to oversee, support and, where necessary, facilitate water’s contribution to resilience and liveability.
We can all contribute to a sustainable water future.
We encourage you to take a look Yarra Valley Water’s Target 155 voluntary water efficiency program. Target 155 encourages metropolitan Melbourne households to use water efficiently, aiming to limit water use to 155 litres per person per day.
We also welcome Yarra Valley Water’s plans to address discharge from ageing septic systems, which contribute to pollution in Mullum Mullum Creek. This will improve water quality in Mullum Mullum Creek and downstream in the Yarra River. A piped sewerage system is proposed to be constructed in a key area of Park Orchards by 2030.
