Consultation has concluded

This is a call out to sporting clubs, community groups and interested organisations who would like to participate in two healthy and active campaigns that we're promoting in 2020.

Each campaign is designed to promote healthy living and movement in our community and to encourage participation from people all across Manningham.


The Premiers Active April 2020

Get involved in the Premier’s Active April 2020, a campaign that encourages all Victorians to commit to doing 30 minutes of physical activity a day during April.

It’s free, it’s fun and it’s part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to get more people active and healthy.

You’re invited to take part

  • Social and modified sporting opportunities
  • Skate or BMX activities
  • Tai chi and yoga, dance and meditation

Suggested programs for sporting clubs include:

  • Engage a coach to run 30 minute sessions throughout the week and invite women to attend and try out your activities


About This Girl Can
This Girl Can is a state wide marketing campaign that is designed to increase the participation levels of girls and women across Victoria in sport and active recreation.

This Girl Can is here to celebrate and support Victorian women in embracing physical activity in a way that suits them, whether it’s a little or a lot.

Victorian women have identified that one of the reasons they not trying new activities or getting involved in sport is a fear of being judged, or not being fit enough to start.

Moving and making time for our health doesn’t need to be a chore. There are so many options, and Manningham is on a mission to help the women in our community find something that is right for them.
