We'll be working with Warrandyte Scouts to investigate options for them to remain in their current hall.
This is one of the key outcomes following consultation on the draft Warrandyte Community Facilities Review Report.
The Consultation Outcomes Report was presented to Council on 26 May 2026.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Jim Grivas, said that in response to feedback, we would work directly with the community on agreed priority focus areas.
"The community has been very clear, and we've listened," Cr Grivas said.
Other priority focus areas include:
- Supporting a dedicated, long-term solution for the Warrandyte Men's Shed
- Retaining and progressively upgrading the Warrandyte Historical Society Museum in its current location
- Futher exploring options to expand early years services together with the kindergarten, childcare, the State Government and schools.
Improvements to other local facilities, such as sporting facilities at Warrandyte Reserve and Coleman Park, will be undertaken progressively in consultation with user groups and the community, guided by Council plans, policies and the Capital Works Program.
Council received 38 detailed submissions during the consultation process, as well as a petition of 1611 signatures regarding the Warrandyte Scout Hall.
The Consultation Outcomes Report summarises community feedback and outlines how it will guide next steps for improving Warrandyte's community facilities.
"I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback, and we've welcomed the ongoing and positive discussions we've had with community groups, facility users and key stakeholders that have helped us determined these next steps," Cr Grivas said.
"This process has helped us to better understand what matters most to the Warrandyte community. We're committed to working together to to progressively improve facilities to meet local needs."
A working group will be established with the Warrandyte Scouts and Scouts Victoria to reinvestigate what options are available to upgrade the current Scout Hall.
Further options for the Men's Shed will be investigated at Warrandyte Reserve, including a possible expansion of the Warrandyte Community Hall or Tennis Club. A feasibility study will include further consultation and detailed site planning.
Improvements to other facilities, such as sporting facilities at Warrandyte Reserve and Coleman Park, will be addressed progressively with user groups and the community, guided by Council plans, policies and capital works budgets.
