Expressions of interest, help shape flooding and stormwater management in Manningham

We’re inviting community members to submit an expression of interest to join the Manningham Flooding and Stormwater Management Community Reference Panel (CRP).

This is your opportunity to make an impact on how we sustainably manage our water resources, care for our environment and manage flood risk into the future.

The CRP will be comprised of community members from a range of areas across Manningham and be generally representative of the diversity of our community.

What does the CRP do?

The CRP helps shape our flooding and stormwater management approach by bringing a community perspective to the development of Manningham’s Flood Mapping Project and proposed Integrated Water Management Strategy.

The Strategy will consider how we can:

decrease the volume of urban stormwater runoff and discharge of pollutants to waterways
contribute to urban greening and amenity
increase the use of alternative water sources like stormwater
reduce the impacts of flooding on communities.

Who can lodge an Expression of Interest?

Individuals who owns land and/or live in Manningham, and who are actively participating in the Manningham community with direct community links or those who work or study in Manningham are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest.
