About the artist
Angharad Neal-Williams is an Illustrator, muralist and graphic recorder based in Melbourne. Her work combines strong line drawing with controlled colour and shape to create thoughtful, fun and conceptual drawings.
She utilises both digital and traditional mediums to ensure outcomes feel natural and expressive through quirky imperfections in the simple line work. Her style is distinctly optimistic and focuses strongly on the importance of composition and line.
In 2023 she was awarded Nillumbik Shire Council's Young Creative Leader of the year.

Our Annual Report provides a detailed account of Council’s service performance across the year.
LGPRF was introduced by the Victorian Government to assist the community to see and compare Council’s performance in areas of interest such as public safety (animals, foods and pools), services (statutory planning, maternal child health, libraries, roads and rubbish), council business (governance, community engagement and financial efficiency).
All results are reported annually to the Minister for Local Government and published on the Local Government Victoria website.
Before embarking on building, renovating, tree removal/lopping or any other works, it is important to ascertain whether you require a permit.
Planning permits and building permits serve different purposes.
A planning permit is required to ensure that your project complies with the relevant zoning and overlay controls applicable to your property and to ensure that your project considers its impact on the surrounding area with respect to character, built form and materials, surrounding neighbours, traffic, environmental impacts and community need.
A building permit focuses on the technical aspects of construction and safety ensuring that your project complies with the relevant building codes and regulations.
Links to the relevant controls are:
Here are some common projects that need approval - contact us even if your project is not listed here:
New to building or renovation?
For advice on all things renovation and construction, visit the Victorian Building Authority (VBA).
Every dream project is different with its own needs and challenges. Here are the steps to give you a rough guide on the process, timeframes and costs when starting any project.

We do not issue building permits so you will need to contact a building surveyor to organise a building permit.
You will need the permit to ensure what you're hoping to construct or change is done right and to building code standards.
You may need permits for connecting to infrastructure, protection of public assets and more. Often you will find out which permits you need throughout the process, so it is always best to discuss your plans with us or industry professionals.

The following are the Terms and Conditions and Glossary of Terms for our Community Grant Program.
You need to read these as part of the application process.
To discuss further, contact us.
The following general terms and conditions apply to the Community Grants Program:
Acquittal is a formal condition of funding and means accurately reporting on the funded activities and the expenditure of your funding. Proof of expenditure (as well as other information) is required on the completion of your activity. See ‘Activity Completion Report’.
Is a report that ensures grant recipients have administered grant funds responsibly and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Funding and Service Agreement. An Activity Completion Report usually consists of a written report that summarises how the activity fared against the initial objectives of the grant. It also provides a financial statement detailing how the funding was spent. See ‘Acquittal’.
Is an agreement where one organisation (the ‘principal organisation’) agrees to apply for funding on behalf of a second organisation that is not incorporated (the ‘auspiced organisation’). If the funding application is successful, the principal organisation then receives, holds and administers the funding to the auspiced organisation so that the auspiced organisation can complete the funded activity. Further information can be found at, http://www.nfplaw.org.au/auspicing.
A company limited by guarantee is a type of legal structure that you may choose for your charity that is registered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Further information can be found at asic.gov.au/regulatory-resources/financial-reporting-and-audit/preparers-of-financial-reports/companies-limited-by-guarantee/
Includes retail groups that: a) sell goods by retail, or by retail and wholesale; b) sell services; or c) hire goods for profit.
Refers to any confirmed funding amounts, including your organisation’s cash contribution, funding from other sources to be included in your ‘Income’ section of your budget.
Manningham City Council is the entity which has the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Manningham community.
Curriculum is the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, the units and lessons that teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; books, materials, videos, presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to evaluate student learning.
Evaluation is an important component of the grants program because it enables organisations to showcase achievements, as well as inform and improve project delivery. (page 9).
Provides the proof that an activity or program is best placed to respond to an identified community need which may include research, statistics, community consultation, needs analysis, etc.
A Funding and Service Agreement (Agreement) is a legal and financial agreement entered into between Council and community organisations receiving grant funding.
The categories of an Agreement, a short or long form, reflect the level of funding provided and the required performance of the grant recipient. The FASA states:
A grant is a sum of money given to organisations for a specified purpose directed at achieving objectives and outcomes consistent with specific policies.
The desired short to medium term effects or changes that an activity seeks to achieve (e.g. increased community awareness of a particular topic or skills development of a target group, change in behaviour, change in attitude).
Being incorporated infers that an organisation has a legal identity of its own, recognised by State and Federal governments and is separate and distinct from the individuals who formed or make up the group.
Is when an organisation contributes goods or services in lieu of providing funds (cash). For example, volunteers hours, use of organisation equipment or facilities (i.e. photocopiers). In-kind contribution must have a $ value, for example the estimated value of volunteer time is $41 per hour.
The Annual and Small Grant categories are to fund one-off short to medium term activities. Funding allocations are for one financial year and are not recurrent.
Objectives are the big picture aims or goals which a policy, plan, program or activity seeks to achieve (e.g. improved exercise).
The desired result of goals and strategies that have been achieved (e.g. a healthier population).
The Outdoor Sports Infrastructure Guidelines steer the redevelopment or refurbishment of existing sporting infrastructure and informs the development of new sports infrastructure on a case by case basis. The Council Standard Facility Fit Out sets out what Council will provide and what is not covered.
Taking or belonging to a side in politics or in controversial matters.
Religion is regarded as a set of beliefs and practices, usually involving acknowledgment of a divine or higher being or power, by which people order the conduct of their lives through promotion of their faith or worship.
SmartyGrants is Council’s online grants management system. Applicants must apply online and attach relevant documents to their application.
For organisations that do not have an ABN, applicants are required to complete a Statement by Supplier form as a result of the Commonwealth ‘Pay As You Go’ taxation legislation. Statement by Supplier forms can be located from the Australian Taxation Office at ato.gov.au/Forms/Statement-by-a-supplier-not-quoting-an-ABN/.
Refers to the other funding amounts which you have applied for which is yet to be confirmed, to be included in the ‘Income’ section of your budget.
