This is part of NELP’s upcoming redevelopment of the facility, which will connect it to the Eastern Busway – a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway.
Doncaster Park and Ride has been a valued service for many years, providing convenient parking and bus services for hundreds of commuters daily.
Manningham Council recognises the closure of the Doncaster Park and Ride will significantly impact the Manningham community. We are actively advocating on your behalf to improve alternative commuter options.
Though we have made several requests to NELP, we’re disappointed with the State’s lack of alternatives for impacted commuters and will continue advocating for further options to minimise disruption.
Bulleen Park and Ride opened in April 2023 to provide replacement parking and other travel options, while the Doncaster facility is closed for upgrades.
However, as the Bulleen facility has been consistently operating near capacity, there are limited car spaces available to accommodate commuters affected by the Doncaster facility’s closure.
As the Doncaster Park and Ride bus services will now operate from the newly constructed temporary bus on Doncaster Road from 12 January 2025, we also encourage you to check before you travel and plan your journey via the PTV Journey Planner.
If you do have any questions or concerns, please contact NELP on 1800 105 105, call or see further details at the Big Build website.
Please note, this workshop will be conducted in Mandarin.

We're inviting community feedback as we develops a new masterplan for Timber Reserve in Doncaster.
Manningham Mayor Cr Deirdre Diamante, who is the Councillor for Tullamore Ward, encouraged residents and reserve visitors to get involved.
“We want to hear how you use Timber Reserve and your ideas for how we can make it even better,” Cr Diamante said.
“The 4.6ha reserve is a much-loved space for formal and informal sport and recreation including soccer, cricket, walking, jogging, and dog exercise. It also features two playgrounds for children to enjoy.
“Your feedback will help us create a master plan that supports sport and recreation for all members of our community for many years to come,” Cr Diamante said.
The Timber Reserve masterplan will assess the current sporting infrastructure, explore how the area is used, and identify opportunities for future improvements.
Community members are invited to complete a survey at Your Say Manningham.
The consultation is separate to that by Victoria’s Big Build on behalf of Yarra Valley Water regarding a pressure reducing station at the reserve as part of the North East Link Project.
Council Officers will be available to answer questions a drop-in “Have your say” session at the Timber Reserve sportsground on Thursday 16 October, 5:00pm to 6:30pm.
Consultation continues to 11.59pm on Sunday 26 October 2025.
This popular park on George Street in Doncaster East is close to Doncaster Gardens Primary School.
