Community Reference Panel to help secure Manningham’s water future

Council has appointed a Community Reference Panel to help shape flooding and stormwater management in Manningham.

The Panel was selected through an Expression of Interest process and will work with us to better understand and address increasing challenges to water management, including:

  • climate change
  • development pressure; and
  • population growth.


The Panel will help guide the development of the Manningham Flood Mapping Project and Integrated Water Management Strategy.

It will consist of:

  • an independent facilitator
  • eleven community members with a spread of representation across Manningham and membership reflecting the diversity of our community
  • Councillors Stephen Mayne and Geoff Gough
  • up to three Council officer representatives; and
  • subject matter experts.


The first meeting will be held in late 2022. All meeting minutes will be available on the Your Say Manningham Flooding and Stormwater Management page.
