Welcome to the web presence of the Braeside and Mannofield Community Council. Community Councils are statutory bodies set up by an act of Parliament. Their term of office is 3 years, and they receive and annual grant from their local council. They have no executive powers although, being close to and part of the local community, they play a vital role in representing the views of the community to local authorities and other public bodies. Anyone who lives within a Community Council area, and whose name is on the electoral roll can be nominated or apply to become a Community Councillor. There are also places available for young people aged 16 and 17 years. Other co-options are also allowed. Braeside and Mannofield Community Council has an upper limit of 12 members.
