Council endorsed the Integrated Water Management (IWM) Strategy at its meeting on Tuesday 28 April 2026, subject to some refinements prior to publication of the Strategy. These refinements to the Strategy are now underway and the final Strategy will be shared once available.
The IWM Strategy sets the direction for how we will manage all sources of water over the next 10 years, supporting a resilient, liveable and sustainable Manningham. Developed in collaboration with community and a range of stakeholders and partners, it outlines practical actions to respond to emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and increasing flood and drought risk.
Thank you again to everyone who shared their views during the community consultation held between October and December 2025. Your feedback helped strengthen the Strategy and informed meaningful improvements.
We also acknowledge Council's Flooding and Stormwater Management Community Reference Panel for their time, expertise and valuable input throughout the development of the Strategy.
