FAQs

If you would like to participate in an in-person focus group to help inform the design of the Templestowe Village Streetscape Upgrade, please let us know via the survey. There will be a short selection process and we will be in touch with further details.

The focus group will include a mix of local businesses, residents and community.

The upgrade may include:

• New footpaths and kerbs 
• Landscaping 
• New seating and street furniture 
• Drainage improvements 
• Pedestrian crossings 
• Improved lighting 
• A review of accessible parking
• Public toilet
• Artwork in public spaces

Works within privately-owned car parks or strata titles and changes to buildings on private land are not included. Any developments on private land are not included.

We will be inviting feedback over a four-week survey starting from 29 October.

• Thursday, 13 November from 2.30pm to 4.30pm 
• Wednesday, 19 November from 12.00pm to 2.00pm

The community will be kept informed through a range of communication channels:

• Email newsletter: This newsletter provides updates on Manningham Council initiatives, community events and key developments in Templestowe.    
• YourSayManningham: This online platform allows residents to stay informed, share feedback, participate in consultations and focus group project design phases and planning.
• Council website: The Manningham Council website features news articles, project updates, meeting agendas and minutes.
• Social media: Follow our social media channels via Facebook and Instagram for timely updates, announcements and community highlights.
• Local media: We also share information through local news to reach a broader audience.
• Community pop-in sessions: These in-person sessions offer opportunities to hear directly from Manningham Council representatives and ask questions.
• Public notices and signage: Updates may also be shared via signage in affected areas or public noticeboards.

The scope of this project does not include provision of additional parking spaces as we do do not have any surplus land available.    

We have no plans to purchase any businesses in Templestowe for resale. We understand that rumours have circulated suggesting otherwise, but these claims are unfounded. 

Our focus remains on supporting local businesses through planning, infrastructure and community initiatives - not acquiring or reselling them. 

If you have concerns or have heard specific claims, we encourage you to reach out directly so we can clarify and ensure accurate information is shared.
