Manningham Nature Plan: Protecting our future

Our backyard is blessed with natural beauty. However, our parks, plants, waterways and wildlife are facing growing challenges.

That’s why we’re developing a Nature Plan to protect and enhance Manningham’s natural environment over the next 15 years.

Building on our environmental efforts, we're developing this plan to address challenges such as habitat loss through urbanisation and climate change, local biodiversity decline and reduced waterway health through increased stormwater runoff.

Your nature. Your say.

The Nature Plan will be shaped by you: the Manningham community.

We want to hear your thoughts on:

• What should be our top priorities in protecting and enhancing our natural environment?
• What practical solutions can help address these challenges?
• What type of Council support would be most helpful to you and the community?
