Schramms Cottage
… Green Drive (Off Victoria Street in Rieschiecks Reserve) Doncaster East VIC 3109 Australia Phone: (03) 9848 3264 …

The cottage provides a picture of life in the pioneering days of the late 1800s.

Schramms Cottage dates from approximately 1875. It is an asymmetrical cottage, built of local sandstone with a hip slate roof. It was built for Max von Schramm, a German immigrant, for use as a house and a Lutheran school.

In 1876 von Schramm was appointed the first Lutheran Pastor in Doncaster and he continued to teach at this school until 1884.

The cottage was originally located in Doncaster Road, near the present Council offices and was moved to its current site following a decision to widen Doncaster Road. The process of dismantling and re-erecting the building took place between 1971 and 1975, using largely voluntary labour. Schramms Cottage was opened as a historical centre on 14 February 1976. 

 

Location:

Rieschiecks Reserve, Muriel Green Drive (Off Victoria Street in Rieschiecks Reserve), Doncaster East VIC 3109. Melway ref. 33 J10

 

Cost of entry: 

  • Adults $5
  • Children $1

 

Hours of entry:

Media release: Manningham Council to investigate next steps for former quarry site in Doncaster

Article Content

Manningham Council is investigating options to rehabilitate the site of the former Doncaster Quarry after identifying issues that prevent the land from being developed in its current state.

Earlier this year, Council sought expressions of interest for the potential development of the former quarry site, located at 620-628 Blackburn Road in Doncaster East. 

This process was part of Manningham Council's Strategic Property Portfolio initiative, which aims to find new ways of funding the increasing costs of services and infrastructure locally.

Due to issues with the quarry site limiting the financial return of any proposed development, the expressions of interest received were not found to be feasible. 

Manningham Council Chief Executive Officer Andrew Day said due to issues with fill, compaction, water and slope, the site will need to undergo rehabilitation before it could be developed.

“Our focus for the former Doncaster quarry site has shifted to rehabilitating the land site to support potential further development.”

The first step will be an investigation into what is required to remediate the land for future use and development. 

The findings of this investigation will be presented to Council mid next year.

“We only get one opportunity to determine the future of this site, and we want to ensure the best financial return for the community. Once we understand what is required to rehabilitate the site, we will be in a better position to assess its potential,” Mr Day added.

Footpath maintenance and construction
… North, Templestowe Smiths Road, Templestowe Walker Street, Doncaster Blackburn Road, Doncaster East Andersons Creek Road, Doncaster East Tolstoy Reserve, Doncaster East Wood Street, …

Increasing pedestrian movement

We plan the construction of our city’s footpaths, shared paths and trails by identifying the routes that pedestrians use more often on their journeys.

We use community feedback and other key areas to identify this network and locate where new footpaths are needed and plan for their construction.

Works to build a new footpath are prioritised by:

  • the pedestrian demand
  • the type of road
  • its location relative to various facilities within the community
  • the proximity to public transport. 

Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.

Ruffey Creek Linear Park
… the fantastic destinations at each end. King Street, Doncaster to Ruffey Street, Templestowe Doncaster VIC 3108 Australia … Ruffey Creek Linear Park …

Ruffey Creek Linear Park runs along Ruffey Creek Valley in Templestowe from Ruffey Lake Park (King Street) to Finns Reserve, where the creek enters the Yarra River. The park is almost entirely a bush experience landscaped with native vegetation alongside a recently constructed shared path. Highlights of the Linear Park include the fantastic destinations at each end.

Places and spaces

  • Ruffey Trail - bicycle and pedestrian path
  • Wetland and bush areas
  • Wombat Bend Playground and Main Yarra Trail at Finns Reserve
  • The Boulevarde, Church Road North and Victoria Street playground at Ruffey Lake Park
  • Barbecues, picnic shelters, open parkland, bushland and public toilets at all destinations

Pedestrian links

  • James Street
  • Montpellier Crescent
  • Glen Court
  • Kersey Place
  • Montpellier Crescent

Bring your dog

Off lead reserve, except within 15 metres of a playground, barbecue area or where a sporting event is in progress. Once the trail is completed (refer Ruffey Creek Linear Park Management Plan 2017), dogs will be required to be on-lead within five metres of the trail.

Vegetation

Within the Linear Park, Ruffey, Biosite 30 comprises 7.35 hectares remnant vegetation located in three sections; one at the Yarra River at Finns Reserve, another upstream of Foote Street at St. Kevins Primary School and the third in Ruffey Lake Park. The vegetation is considered high priority in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The creek valley has always been considered important as a wildlife corridor and appropriate screen planting of indigenous vegetation, weed management and integration of these adjoining reserves should continue.

Ruffey Trail

The Ruffey Trail, a major feature of the Linear Park, offers a bushland experience for pedestrians and cyclists on an off-road three kilometre shared path. The trail crosses four major roads between Finns Reserve and Ruffey Lake Park. There are underpasses (with lighting) at King Street and Williamsons Road and road crossings at Foote Street and Parker Street. Cyclists and pedestrians currently also use Eumeralla Avenue as there is no footpath or trail in this section.

Trail Length

3.0 km (sealed)
