Water is a valuable resource and plays a vital role in connecting us all. It is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of our community, as well as the resilience and liveability of Manningham.
(16-22 October) celebrates water innovation and achievements supporting Australia’s sustainable future.
We are undertaking various flood and stormwater management initiatives, aimed at building a more resilient and liveable Manningham and to facilitate robust planning for the future.
This includes developing a draft Integrated Water Management Strategy, which will identify opportunities to adapt to a more water constrained future. We’re also undertaking flood mapping for Manningham in partnership with Melbourne Water to better understand flood risk.
Water management is a shared responsibility. To achieve greater environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits, we’re working closely with:
- Yarra Valley Water
- Melbourne Water
- government departments and agencies
- Manningham’s Flooding and Stormwater Management Community Reference Panel, and;
- the broader community.
Manningham Council is also a member of the Yarra Catchment Integrated Water Management Forum. The Forum provides a collaborative platform across the water industry to oversee, support and, where necessary, facilitate water’s contribution to resilience and liveability.
We can all contribute to a sustainable water future.
We encourage you to take a look Yarra Valley Water’s voluntary water efficiency program. Target 155 encourages metropolitan Melbourne households to use water efficiently, aiming to limit water use to 155 litres per person per day.
