Consultation has concluded

Thank you to all the contributors to our new Council Plan 2021-2025!

We asked what you wanted us to focus on and you answered. Over 2,600 people from all over Manningham have contributed to developing the Council Plan 2021-2025, via a community survey, targeted conversations, deliberative Community Panel sessions and Councillor and staff workshops.

Community Panel  - see the video below

For the first time, over 40 locals across various demographics, came together as a Community Panel to discuss what the future of Manningham should look like. The Panel then shared their ideas and recommendations on achieving better outcomes for Manningham across whole range of areas, both in the next four years and in the long term. The Panel also proposed a new Community Vision.

Council unanimously supported the 2040 Community Vision and the 12 Community Panel recommendations (4 with minor amendments to increase the impact or better align to Councils role) are included in this plan.

The final Council Plan was adopted on the 24 August 2021.
