… need a rail line to Doncaster? Over 125,000 people in our community will benefit from a Doncaster Station. Currently … We want fewer roads more public transport options for our community a railway station to Doncaster Downloads Manningham …
A rail line to Doncaster
The Victorian Government's proposed underground rail link will connect suburbs from Cheltenham to Werribee.
The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) includes a Doncaster Station. However construction may be over ten years away.
We are advocating for the Doncaster Station footprint to be set aside as part of Stage 1, to allow for planning of the Doncaster Hill precinct. For an express bus service that mirrors the Suburban Rail Loop Alignment. Providing a public transport connection to key education, healthcare and employment precincts.
Why do we need a rail line to Doncaster?
Over 125,000 people in our community will benefit from a Doncaster Station. Currently our only public transport option is an over-crowded bus network that is often delayed by traffic congestion.
With Doncaster Hill’s population and traffic continuing to grow, we are urging the Victorian Government to include a Doncaster Station in stage two of the SRL and secure a location for the train station now.
Manningham is the only municipality without a tram or train line.
Car ownership per household is considerably high and daily public transport use for employment purposes is below the metropolitan average.
Our bus system is buckling under pressure to provide enough services and meet capacity for our growing city.
Doncaster Station not part of stage one construction
We are strongly advocating to the Victorian Government to include Doncaster Station in Stage two of the SRL.
We are working with stakeholders and the SRL Authority to secure a site location for the future train station.
What’s next?
We will continue to work with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority and the Department of Transport to advocate for improved public transport services to Manningham.
We want
- fewer roads
- more public transport options for our community
- a railway station to Doncaster

State Government Planning Reforms
Victoria is undergoing transformative change, with the State Government’s release of a number of important planning reforms.
These changes will affect the way that Manningham grows and will have impacts on the character and liveability of our neighbourhoods.
We will continue to advocate to the State Government on the implications of these reforms. We’re urging the State Government to continue to consult with us as we work closely with our communities to ensure these reforms align with their needs.
Plan for Victoria
The State Government released its new statewide strategy, Plan for Victoria, on 28 February 2025.
The Plan for Victoria focuses on directing housing to activity centres close to stations and public transport. With updated planning controls, activity centres and priority precincts have been identified as the key places for the delivery of more homes.
The identified priority precincts are based around the Suburban Rail Loop precincts, including Box Hill and Burwood. The targeted activity centres are focused around the 60 identified activity centres that have both fixed rail and tram infrastructure.
It’s proposed that new planning controls will provide for taller buildings in the core of these centres and lower rise apartments within walking distance of the centre. None of these precincts or activity centres fall within Manningham.
The Plan Victoria is based around five pillars:
- Housing choice at an affordable price and close to daily needs. This includes the Activity Centre Program – planning for more homes in and around activity centres and the housing targets
- Accessible jobs and Services
- Great Places, Suburbs and Towns
- Sustainable Environments
- Self Determination and Caring for Country
Housing targets
On 24 February 2025, the Minister released the final housing targets for each local government area within Victoria, for delivery over the next 30 years.
Following Council advocacy, Manningham’ s housing target has been reduced to 28,500 dwellings, from the original target of 39,000 dwellings.
This revised target will have implications on Manningham’s future residential growth strategy and the identification of areas for increased densities.
Manningham Residential Strategy
We’re currently preparing a draft Residential Strategy that will respond to this target.
The next stage of consultation on the draft strategy will focus on identifying how housing growth and diversity of housing types will be managed in the urban parts of the municipality.
Townhouse and Low-rise Code
On 25 February 2025, the Victorian Government announced a new Townhouse and Low-rise code to come into effect in all planning schemes.
These changes represent a significant departure to the standards for multi-unit development under ResCode, which have been in place for many years. In addition, where a development proposal is deemed to meet the Code, residents will still be able to lodge an objection to council, however, will be unable to appeal the matter in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).
Activity Centre Program
On 27 February 2025, the Victorian Government announced the final 25 ‘train and tram zone’ locations to the Activity Centres Program.
This program is part of the Victorian Government Housing Statement reforms to provide capacity for 300,000 additional homes to 2051.
No additional activity centres within Manningham have been identified as part of this announcement.
We’re currently preparing detailed draft Activity Centre Design Guidelines to manage built form outcomes for residential development within our neighbourhood activity centres.
What happens from here
We expect that the implications of these reforms will become clearer in the coming months.
The changes will have direct impacts on a number of strategic projects being progressed by Council.
We’ll continue to keep you updated on any further changes announced by the State Government.
