Manningham Council provides more than 100 services to residents, ratepayers, businesses, and community groups across the City.
Manningham Council was created on 15 December 1994 when the former City of Doncaster and Templestowe and small sections of the former Shire of Lilydale were amalgamated to include Wonga Park and remove part of North Ringwood. The new city was managed by three State Government appointed commissioners, until 24 March 1997 when eight Councillors were again sworn into office.
Manningham Council has more than 100 recreation and sporting clubs and details of these clubs are linked to the Manningham Community directory.
