Come and see the Exhibition of Costumes, featuring an extensive collection of costumes dating from the Victorian era.
This exhibition is run by the Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society, as part of the Manningham Heritage Festival.
A 6 week art therapy group for kids in grades 5 and 6, who have experienced or witnessed family violence.

Art therapy helps us to:
- express thoughts, ideas, and emotions
- manage difficult feelings, like anger and worry
- learn to problem solve and build resilience
- grow confidence and self-esteem
- improve social skills
A fun, safe and supportive space that encourages listening and caring.
Participation is free and all art materials will be provided. No artistic skills necessary!

Citizenship Ceremonies are not currently running due to Council elections. We expect to return to our regular schedule in January 2025.
Becoming an Australian citizen represents a commitment to Australia and its people.
All applications for Australian citizenship are processed by the Department of Home Affairs. Further information on how to apply for Australian Citizenship is available from the Australian citizenship website (Australian Citizenship) or the Citizenship Information Line on 131 880.
For most people, the final step in becoming an Australian citizen is making the pledge of commitment at an Australian Citizenship Ceremony. Applicants for Australian Citizenship will generally be invited to attend a ceremony within 3 to 6 months from the date their application is approved.

We acknowledge that racism continues to be a reality for many people in Victoria. This event provides an opportunity to hear from people who have explored this topic extensively with local communities, and those with lived experience.
Tackling Racism is an event to mark United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Manningham Council has partnered with Victoria University on a project mapping racism where it occurs, understanding the reporting barriers and supporting the needs of people who experience it.
Come along to hear Dr Mario Peucker, Associate Professor and Principal Research Fellow, share his findings from the report. Lingzhi Ruan, from Womens Health East, will talk about their anti-racism project Taking Action to Combat Racism with Mandarin speaking women. The event will also feature a panel consisting of local community members and the Eastern Community Legal Centre sharing their insights and experiences on tackling racism and promoting equality.
Let's face it. Parenting is challenging. Would you benefit from some time out to focus on yourself? Facilitated by skilled therapists and counsellors and based on evidence based positive psychology, topics explored during the four sessions will include:
- the importance and different methods of self-care
- learn to recognise the signs of having a low tank and the effect on your parenting
- explore the values and aspects of thriving
- identify hopes and dreams as parents
- build your resources to thrive
