Doncaster East Avenue of Honour
… Find out about the history of the Doncaster East Avenue of Honour and the significance of … honour the memories of fallen soldiers. Tags Our History … Doncaster East Avenue of Honour …

History of the Doncaster East Avenue of Honour

The Doncaster East Avenue of Honour was first planted in around 1920 by the pupils of East Doncaster State School.

It was planted to honour the past pupils, relatives and friends who served in the Great War of 1914-18.

The original Avenue of Honour for Doncaster East was a row of Mahogany Gums planted along Blackburn Road. It began near May Street and continued past the school to Saxonwood Drive.

By the 1970s an extra lane was needed along Blackburn Road due to increased traffic, and the Mahogany Gums were removed. To replace these trees, a new Avenue of Honour was planted along Saxonwood Drive in 1975 using Queensland Brush Box.

Commemorating fallen soldiers after the war

After The Great War ended, war memorials and honour boards were created throughout Victoria. The honour board for this Avenue of Honour is located within the RSL Doncaster Sub-Branch.

Planting Avenues of Honour captured the imaginations of Victorians.

  • These avenues existed almost nowhere else in the world apart from Australia
  • Over half of the 547 known avenues are located in Victoria

Planting trees gave grieving families and communities tangible memorials to loved ones. With their actual graves out of reach on the other side of the world, each tree represented a fallen soldier.

You can contemplate their sacrifice as you walk along Saxonwood Drive, where their names are laid out next to the path.

We advocate for you

Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter. This is an essential role of local government.

We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.

We are calling for Federal Government support for a number of priority projects ahead of this year’s Federal election.

This includes seeking funding support for seven major projects as well as a series of local sports infrastructure, road and footpath upgrades in Manningham.  

Aquarena outdoor redevelopment

Aquarena is Manningham’s sole aquatic centre, the outdoor area (built in 1960s) is a much-loved space, however, is at the end of its lifespan and requires a total refresh.

This facility serves the entire municipality, receiving 1.14 million visits annually, and without this redevelopment, Manningham Council will struggle to accommodate the growing demands of the community and the delivery of essential health and wellbeing outcomes effectively.

Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre

The Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre is a highly successful service, engaging over 1200 individuals each week. The development of a new community house was identified as a high priority in Council’s Community Infrastructure Plan.

Neighbourhood/community houses are a shared responsibility with the State Government. Manningham Council has already demonstrated its commitment to this new building by purchasing the land for a new community house.

What we are asking for

Council calls on the Federal and State Government for significant funding.

Community legal services

There is no dedicated community legal service located in Manningham. 

Manningham has a high percentage of overseas born residents (44%) and an increasing number of very low-income residents (25%). These factors indicate that our population has a range of vulnerabilities and needs for a legal service that provides free or low-cost assistance in a service that caters for cultural and linguistic diversity.

Open space upgrades

Manningham’s open space network is facing increasing pressure from increased population density, major projects such as the North East Link, loss of private open space and tree canopy cover, climate change and increased demand for recreation facilities . Population forecasts an increase from 133,00 today to 149,000 by 2036, which will exacerbate the pressure on our open spaces.

Redevelopment works commenced at Bulleen Park in March 2025, as major works progressed for the North East Link tunnels and connection to the Eastern Freeway.

Who is managing the redevelopment of Bulleen Park?

The project is being delivered by Development Victoria on behalf of North East Link.

Development Victoria previously managed the construction of Powerful Owl Park in Templestowe, which was delivered in June 2024.

We will continue to work closely with both parties and advocate for our community.

Built Environs will be the head contractor for the redevelopment, working alongside Williams Ross Architects, to complete the design.

User groups and the community will be kept informed of progress and milestones via the Development Victoria website.

You can find the latest updates in the monthly Bulleen Park site bulletin delivered by NELP and DV. 

Getting to Bulleen Park

Throughout the redevelopment, traffic conditions around Bulleen Park are subject to change based on North East Link works. Please ensure that you plan ahead and allow additional time when arriving or leaving Bulleen Park, particularly during peak periods.

Signage will be in place at the entrance to Bulleen Park to assist you with entering and direct you towards the available car parking and sporting fields, which will remain in use.

Entry to Bulleen Park by car is via the Bulleen Park Access Road.

If arriving on foot or by bicycle, there is also a public pedestrian access on the south side of the Bulleen Park Access Road.

A large temporary carpark has been built in the far west of Bulleen Park. The front area of Bulleen Park nearby to Bulleen Road continues to support construction related to the North East Link.

A pedestrian path has been built from the large temporary car cark to the existing pavilion and signage and lighting has been installed along the path and within the temporary car park. Signage helps guide to pedestrian pathways.

What is happening on site

Construction fencing has been placed around some areas in the northern area of Bulleen Park where construction is taking place.

A staged construction will occur with the first oval and pavilion in the east to commence first, followed by the second pavilion and existing ovals.

Sporting activities and public access to walking trails will continue throughout construction outside of any fenced off areas.

Site map showing parking and restricted access until 2026
Allocations

We will continue to manage all allocations for Bulleen Park throughout and at the conclusion of the redevelopment.

Please be aware, while existing operations are continuing, we will not be accepting any additional usage at Bulleen Park until project completion, unless under extenuating circumstances, (i.e., due to ground conditions for clubs with approved allocation).

Powerful Owl Park

Manningham's newest and much anticipated soccer facility, Powerful Owl Park is now completed.

Development Victoria worked in conjunction with North East Link Program (NELP) to deliver the facility to ensure community impacts are minimised by changes at Bulleen Park.

We will manage the facility on behalf of NELP, as part of the overall management of Manningham sporting reserves, and in accordance with required conditions of use.

Tree planting

NELP will plant two replacement trees for every tree removed during construction of the project.

A key objective for Council is to ensure that the loss of tree canopy and vegetation is minimised and mitigated. We're working closely with NELP to identify appropriate locations for early tree planting to occur to allow the new canopy to establish. Some early planting has already occurred across various locations in Manningham, including Katrina Reserve (Doncaster) and Finns Reserve (Lower Templestowe).

Council has planted more than 500 trees since 2022 within various reserves in Manningham on behalf of NELP. We will continue to support the early planting program.

Find out more.

 

River Red Gum, Bulleen

The historic 300 year old River Red Gum on Bridge Street in Bulleen is in close proximity to major North East Link works and must be protected. This tree is a local landmark, pre-dates European settlement and is an important example of our environmental heritage.

We will continue to regularly attend when works are being undertaken near the tree to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are undertaken.

 

Air quality and noise

We are continuing to advocate to NELP and other State authorities to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to mitigate the air quality impacts of the project on the health and wellbeing of the local community.

We are also working closely with NELP to ensure that noise associated with construction is mitigated as far as practicable. Any noise emitting works that may exceed noise levels are also planned to occur either during the day or early in the night, as far as practicable.

Affected residents are also notified prior to the works that noise may occur during a time period with a direct NELP contact provided to them to call where concerns are raised.

Article Content

We’re making the Doncaster Hill Community Garden safer, more accessible and even better for our community to enjoy.

The garden will be temporarily closed from June to August 2025 while we make these upgrades. 

Redesign goals

  • The new garden will deliver:
  • A safer and more accessible design: A new level surface will remove tripping hazards while raised garden beds at varying heights will suit all ages and abilities.
  • Increased food production and sustainability: New wicking beds, better composting and water management aim to boost vegetable yields.
  • Better protection against theft: Trellising, soft fencing and access via a gate will enhance security. We are also installing lockable compost bins to reduce damage.
  • A more inviting community space: More seating and improved diverse language signage will encourage greater community involvement and learning.

Shaped by feedback from our gardeners and volunteers, the transformation will model what a thriving urban space can achieve.

Feeding those in need

The garden is a space for community members to grow food, meet others and learn new skills.

Community members meet every fortnight where they plant, sow seeds, weed, water and harvestfresh produce. All food is donated to Doncare’s food relief program, providing fresh produce to those in need.

The community garden plays a vital role in strengthening the local food system, fostering social connections and supporting our community’s wellbeing.

Reconciliation Manningham Group

Reconciliation Manningham is a small, committed group working to advance reconciliation through partnerships between Aboriginal people, Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council, Manningham Council and the local community.

The group aims to preserve, protect and promote respect for, and pride in our Australian Aboriginal culture and heritage. They achieve this through offering a host of activities, programs, events and services that directly involve, support and include Aboriginal people.

Through Heritage Week, Reconciliation Week and other key times throughout the year, the group leads local Indigenous heritage walks and history presentations, and are also available to present indigenous history education within local schools. Fascinating information about local sites of significance and the process of reconciliation is presented on their website. New members are welcome.

Article Content

Community members will enjoy a safer, more accessible and usable Doncaster Hill Community Garden, with a redesign planned to get underway in June.

Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante said the garden is a treasured place where people come together to grow, share and connect.

“The Doncaster Hill Community Garden plays a vital role in supporting our community,” Cr Diamante said.

“Beyond providing fresh and nutritious food, it nurtures a stronger local food system, social connections and community wellbeing.

“Importantly, it also provides fresh produce to people experiencing hardship through Doncare’s food relief program,” she said.

The works will include levelling uneven ground to reduce tripping hazards and installing raised garden beds at varying heights to support gardeners of all ages and abilities.

New wicking beds, improved composting and better water use will support more efficient and diverse food growing, including culturally significant crops. Security will also be improved through soft fencing, gated access and lockable compost bins.

“We’ve listened to our dedicated volunteers and gardeners, whose insights and aspirations have helped shape the planned improvements to the garden,” Cr Diamante said.

“The result will be a more accessible space that reflects our community values of sustainability, sharing and inclusion,” she said.

The Doncaster Hill Community Garden is a friendly space for anyone interested in growing food, meeting others and learning new skills. It hosts a working bee every second Tuesday, where community members come together to grow and harvest produce.

The garden will be temporarily closed from June to August 2025, while the works take place.

The shed will not be impacted in the redesign.
