We believe that Manningham's future should be shaped by you. That's why we're setting up a community panel to make sure your voices are heard.

How will it work?

The Manningham Community Panel will play a crucial role in developing our major strategic plans.

Through externally facilitated discussions and learning sessions, participants will help determine key priorities for Manningham and provide a list of recommendations to:

  • inform the next Council Plan, Asset Plan and Financial Plan
  • help us refresh of our community vision
  • define and help us manage the community's top service priorities
  • help guide how we manage our services financially
  • guide how we manage and invest in physical assets.

Panel sessions will be held between September 2024 and February 2025.


What will the panel deliberate on?

Council endorsed the following remit for the Manningham Community Panel at its 25 June 2024 meeting.


Council has a budget of $147m, but we can't do everything and need to make hard choices. We need to know what services you value most to help us create a new Council Plan, Asset Plan and Financial Plan to guide Council activity for the next four years to align with the Community Vision. It will inform what the community pays and gets in return.

What range and level of services are you prepared to pay for?


How will the panel be selected?

In early August 2024, 8,000 randomly selected households across Manningham will receive an invitation to express their interest in participating in this engagement.

From those who apply, independent non-profit research group, newDemocracy, will draw a panel of 40 people to represent the wider community.


I haven’t been selected for the panel, are there other ways to participate in this engagement?
