Alan Morton Reserve is a linear reserve along a natural drainage line that runs alongside Park Road. It aids the pedestrian links to the Park Orchards centre from the south. The Reserve is located within the Rainbow Valley Road, Biosite 20 and is considered a very high priority in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012.
The Alan Morton Reserve Concept Plan was developed in 1995 and includes a wetland system to filter storm water runoff. As part of the Park Road upgrade in 2011, a shared path was constructed through the Reserve from Kebun Court to Enfield Avenue.

We’re engaging local community groups this month, to help plan the future direction of community facilities in Warrandyte.
Our Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange said we’re looking for future improvements to community facilities that will better support local services and connectivity for residents.
“Last year’s consultation on the Community Infrastructure Plan highlighted the need for a holistic review into the provision of community facilities in Warrandyte. With an increasing demand for services, we need to ensure the right infrastructure is in place to support community need,” Cr Lange said.
“The Review will help guide future investment into community facilities in Warrandyte,” she said.
During the consultation, community groups will provide information on their usage, needs, and expectations of facilities. They will also share ideas for future services and buildings, including opportunities for partnerships and facility sharing.
“We want to better understand the needs, priorities and aspirations of our local community groups.
“These discussions will guide the preparation of our draft recommendations, which will be shared with the broader community for further feedback early next year,” the Mayor added.
We’ll contact community groups and services directly to participate in the consultation.
If you haven’t heard from us by the end of July and would like to participate, please get in touch by calling us on 9840 9333 or emailing manningham@manningham.vic.gov.au.
We aim to present the final plan to Council for endorsement in 2025.

North East Link Project (NELP) has released designs for the redevelopment of the Doncaster Park and Ride, which you can now provide feedback on and have your say.
The designs are within a draft Urban Design and Landscape Plan (UDLP), which shows that the Doncaster Park and Ride will connect to a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway, known as the Eastern Busway.
The plan is to construct the facility into a modern version of its existing state (like-for-like), resulting in the Park and Ride being retained as a car park and bus interchange only, with a similar number of car parking spaces. The draft UDLP is currently on exhibition for public comment.
Council will be providing a submission in response to the UDLP to propose that the current plan is a missed opportunity to reconstruct the Doncaster Park and Ride as a mixed-use Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).
While the facility being redeveloped into a modern interchange is positive, this is a key opportunity for TOD, which could provide wide-ranging benefits to the community, environment and local economy.
We will be advocating that there is a growing demand for park and ride facilities due to population growth and the lack of any rail infrastructure in Manningham. This is shown through the high-usage of the newly opened Bulleen Park and Ride which consistently operates at capacity, and reinforces the significant opportunity this Doncaster Park and Ride site offers for our community.
As such, our submission seeks to include a multi-level car park with increased capacity, new open spaces areas, as well as retail and other commercial opportunities. This is in-line with our commissioned 2022 site design concept which was endorsed on 26 July 2022 as Council’s preferred redevelopment outcome for the Doncaster Park and Ride site.
We ask you to join us in advocating that Doncaster Park and Ride be reconstructed to include:
Help shape the Doncaster Park and Ride. You can provide feedback while the UDLP is on exhibition until 5.00pm Tuesday 24 September 2024.
To find out more, or to make a submission, head to Engage Victoria.
Council will be considering its submission on the Doncaster Park and Ride UDLP at its meeting on Tuesday 16 September. Following this, the submission will be lodged on behalf of Council to Engage Victoria.
NELP will consider all written comments and submissions received, before the final UDLP is submitted to the Minister for Planning for consideration.
You can read more on the Big Build website and sign up to receive email updates.
Submissions close 5.00pm, Tuesday 24 September 2024.

The Manningham Community Panel’s deliberations have begun, with local voices steering the way to a thriving future for Manningham.
Through a series of externally facilitated discussions and learning sessions, panel members will deliberate for over 40 hours. They will determine key priorities for the community and provide a list of recommendations to Manningham Council.
This dynamic and community-driven process will play a crucial role in ensuring that Council’s strategic plans reflect local needs, values and aspirations.
The panel recruitment started with 8,000 envelopes sent randomly to local households. Of those who accepted the invitation, a second random draw resulted in the final 40 individuals chosen.
This second draw was stratified to ensure people selected were representative of Manningham by age, gender, location, living situation and the language spoken at home.
Residents, businesses and community organisations have also contributed to the panel’s work in several ways.
In the Plan Manningham 2025+ survey (between May and July 2024), community provided their top three priority areas for Council to focus its resources for the next four years.
Council also hosted a series of ‘Targeted conversations’. These small group discussions invited people with similar backgrounds or interests together to discuss detailed information around topics that affect their needs and priorities.
Community could also share ideas on how to improve Council services through ‘Individual submissions’.
Council has committed to an open, transparent and rigorous process that puts community interests at the forefront. Community are invited to listen and watch the deliberations.
You can register to be an Observer for any of the panel sessions. Each registration segment is 90 minutes. Registration will ensure you get a spot, however you can also register upon arrival.
The final four panel sessions will be held between November 2024 and February 2025.
Find out more and stay up to date at Your Say Manningham.
From this week, 8,000 randomly selected households across Manningham will receive an invitation to express their interest in participating in the Manningham Community Panel.
From those who apply, independent non-profit research group, newDemocracy, will draw a panel of 40 people to represent the wider community.
How will it work?
The Manningham Community Panel will play a crucial role in developing our major strategic plans.
Through externally facilitated discussions and learning sessions, participants will help determine key priorities for Manningham and provide a list of recommendations to:
inform the next Council Plan, Asset Plan and Financial Plan
help us refresh of our community vision
define and help us manage the community's top service priorities
help guide how we manage our services financially
guide how we manage and invest in physical assets.
Panel sessions will be held between September 2024 and February 2025.

The Manningham Community Panel has reached a significant milestone, charting a course for the future after delivering its final recommendations to Council.
Manningham Mayor Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the Panel’s insights will be invaluable in ensuring that the Council’s strategic plans are grounded in the community's needs and aspirations.
“By listening to the voices of our community, we’re ensuring that our decisions and actions reflect and align with what matters most to our residents,” Cr Diamante said.
“The Panel has played a crucial role in this process, comprising members from diverse age groups, cultural backgrounds and geographic locations that represent the unique tapestry of our community.
“This collaborative approach will help enable us to create a more inclusive, resilient, sustainable and vibrant community for all.”
The Panel was established to identify Manningham's key priorities, challenges and opportunities – to help guide our strategic plans. This includes the Community Vision 2040, the four-year Council Plan, and the 10-year Asset and Financial Plans.
Throughout the process, Panel members deliberated for approximately 1,680 collective hours and heard from over 50 speakers from Council and community.
They handed over their recommendations at the final meeting on 1 February 2025. They span several themes including community safety, transport, open spaces and more.
“Over the coming weeks, we’ll prepare a response to each of the panel’s recommendations, including how they will be implemented or the reasons for not supporting any recommendation,” Cr Diamante said.
“We’re sincerely grateful to the panel members for their time and efforts during this dynamic process and committed to implementing the panel’s recommendations to the fullest extent possible. We’ll ensure their insights are carefully considered in all our decision-making as we plan ahead for Manningham,” the Mayor added.

Join us this NAIDOC week for a special screening of the Unfinished Business Documentary at Doncaster Library.
This moving documentary tells the stories of 30 First Nations people living with disabilities. Their deeply personal stories are complex and intertwined with Australia’s political and social history, which has resulted in today’s unacceptably high rates of disability in Australia’s First Nations Communities.
Their stories are also featured in the Unfinished Business exhibition, which is showing at Manningham Art Gallery until Saturday 29 July.
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Uncle John Baxter: Latja Latja/Narungga man, Board Member Reconciliation Victoria and First Peoples Disability Network, Aboriginal Partnership Coordinator - Brotherhood of St Laurence/NDIS, participant and creative collaborator of Unfinished Business.
Attendees will also have the chance to view the exhibition at their own pace.
The Unfinished Business Documentary is a creative collaboration between brothers, Liam and Dieter Knierim, Belinda Mason Knierim OAM, and participants.
This is a free and accessible event. Bookings not required. Refreshments will be provided.
Warning: First Nations peoples should be aware that this exhibition contains images, voices, or names of deceased persons.
If you require an Auslan interpreter to attend this event, please let us know by Friday 30 June, at 9840 9367 or gallery@manningham.vic.gov.au.
