Article Content

The Jackson Court Traders Association has seen the launch of its first initiative – a welcoming new sign at Jackson Court Shopping Centre.

Formed just over a year ago, the Jackson Court Traders Association advocates for its businesses, collaborates with Council, pursues funding opportunities and creates initiatives to promote the popular activity centre.

Jackson Court has more than 90 businesses, making it one of Manningham’s busiest and most vibrant centres.

The new sign on Doncaster Road is designed to showcase the mix of local businesses and advertise the centre.

Manningham Council supports activity centres with infrastructure upgrades, business support and planning. At Jackson Court, we've helped establish the traders’ association with registration, governance, communication and business development support.

President of the Jackson Court Traders Association, Con Valsamis said the sign brings a new look and increased advertising space for businesses at the centre.

"As a group, we have so many ideas on ways to continue improving this important shopping district. This new signage is a big step towards us achieving these goals,” Mr Valsamis said.

“A big thank you to my fellow committee members for their passion and dedication and to Manningham Council for their support in setting up our traders association.”

“We want to bring this area to life and really show people what we at Jackson Court have to offer,” Mr Valsamis added.

Building construction: Schramms Cottage Visitor Centre, Doncaster East

… Building construction: Schramms Cottage Visitor Centre, Doncaster East Find out more about the construction of Schramms Cottage …

Article Content

Connecting our community through new facility construction is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

As part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program, we’re building a new community facility at Rieschiecks Reserve.

The new modular building will be used by the Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society and other community groups.

The Visitor Centre will include:

an exhibition space
a meeting room
offices
public toilets
kitchen
an accessible path to Schramms Cottage.

Featuring an environmentally sustainable design, this building will create a welcoming interface to the Schramms Cottage Museum Complex.

Where is it?

The Visitor Centre will be built at Rieschiecks Reserve, between Schramm’s Cottage and the 1st Doncaster East Scout Hall, Doncaster East.

A map showing the location of the proposed building construction of Schramms Cottage Visitor Centre

When will the works happen?

Construction will likely begin in early September 2024 and be completed by mid 2025.

This schedule is subject to weather conditions and third-party approvals.

We’re delivering this project as part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.

How will the works affect me?

The works will take place on weekdays during the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm.

During construction, you may notice:

Construction noise
Minor traffic delays on Victoria Street, between George Street and Owens Street.
Footpath closures
Reduced parking available at the Schramms Cottage Museum Complex and the 1st Doncaster East Scout Hall.

We will have traffic management and signage on site to guide you through the area.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve the footpath connections in your area.
