Here in Manningham, we’re lucky to have a unique range of urban and leafy suburbs, rural lifestyle areas and vibrant activity centres.
Our community is also growing. Over the next 12 years, our population is expected to increase by around 18,000 people, to more than 144,000 people. This means we’ll need close to 8,000 new homes across Manningham.
As our community changes, we need to plan for a range of homes that cater for different needs and life stages. We also need to carefully plan the location of future housing to support the affordability, sustainability and character of our suburbs.
That’s why we’re reviewing the Manningham Residential Strategy.
The first stage in developing the new strategy is the preparation of our Residential Discussion Paper.
The Residential Discussion Paper identifies four themes to underpin our housing future:
1. Location and connectedness
2. Housing design quality
3. Neighbourhood character
4. Housing choice, diversity and affordability
These themes will set the foundation for how we manage growth and work together as a Council and community to achieve desired outcomes for all.
You’re invited to provide feedback on the Residential Discussion Paper.
We want to hear your insights, priorities and ideas around housing and neighbourhood character.
By sharing your feedback, you will also have the chance to enter the draw to win one of three $100 Westfield gift vouchers.

Attend a focus group session
We’re running two focus group sessions during May where we will discuss the future of housing in Manningham.
With Council's endorsement of the Activity Centre Design Concepts at the 23 April 2024 meeting, these sessions also provide us with an opportunity to hear your views on how we can best manage growth across our activity centres. Learn more about the Activity Centre Design Concepts consultation.
We'll also be inviting feedback on the Victorian Government's plan for Victoria - the first statewide strategy to guide Victoria's growth until 2050. We want to make sure that the State Government considers what our community values when they develop their plan.
We hope you can join us to discuss these key strategic projects.

Help shape the future of housing in Manningham
Manningham is growing. Over the next 12 years our population is expected to increase by more than 18,000 people to more than 144,000 people. This means we will need more than 8,200 new homes.
As our community changes, we need to plan for a range of homes that cater for different needs and life stages. We also need to carefully plan the location of future housing to support the affordability, sustainability and character of our suburbs.
That’s why we’re updating the Manningham Residential Strategy.
Manningham Residential Discussion Paper
The first stage in developing the new Residential Strategy is the preparation of the Manningham Residential Discussion Paper.
The Residential Discussion Paper identifies four housing themes:
- Location and connectedness – new homes in the right places
- Housing design quality – environmental sustainability and built form
- Neighbourhood character and what makes it special
- Housing choice, diversity and affordability
These themes have emerged from our recent technical analysis, review of existing policies and previous community feedback. They set the foundation for change and how we commit to working together as a Council and community to achieve the desired outcomes for all.
We want to hear from you!
As part of the engagement on the Residential Discussion Paper, a survey has been prepared so that we can better understand community views, priorities, needs and expectations relating to housing in Manningham.
Questions in the Residential Discussion Paper survey are categorised under the four housing themes.
Participants to this survey will have the opportunity to enter the draw to win one of three $100 Westfield gift vouchers. Entry to the survey alone, or survey and Competition are both voluntary.
Survey closes Sunday 19 May 2024 at 11:59pm.

All personal information collected by the Proponent will be used for the purpose of administering the Competition and the purpose of understanding community views, priorities, needs and expectations relating to housing in Manningham.
