He is active in motor sport, plays golf and makes a point of attending his daughter's school activities.

Councillor Manzie's background and interests offer a diverse skill range that will complement his areas of interest in Council.
"With a direct interest in local government and the understanding that a strong, resourceful and respected Council will best serve residents, I feel I will offer a positive influence in ensuring we meet community expectations," he says. "Our diverse community needs requires the Monash budgeting arrangement to be well balanced and that we deliver viable economic decisions."
