26 February 2025
We’re calling for Federal Government support for a number of priority projects ahead of this year’s Federal election.
At its meeting on Tuesday 25 February, Council set out its advocacy priorities across four key themes of Our Commute, Our Environment, Our Safety and Our Wellbeing.
This includes seeking funding support for seven major projects as well as a series of local sports infrastructure, road and footpath upgrades in Manningham.
Mayor, Cr Deirdre Diamante, said Council is calling for Federal Government funding for projects that will benefit the local community.
“We’re advocating for our community and seeking funding support for important local projects that will improve the wellbeing, safety, environment and transport in Manningham.”
We’re advocating for:
- $15 million for the redevelopment Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre outdoor precinct
- $7.5 million for open space upgrades, some of which include:
- Wombat Bend and Finns Reserve upgrade in Templestowe Lower
- Anderson Park in Doncaster East
- Warrandyte Skate Park
- The Boulevarde playspace at Ruffey Lake Park.
- $5 million for safety improvements at the 5-ways intersection in Warrandyte South
- $3 million for a feasibility study to inform the high frequency busway implementation along Doncaster Road
- $2.5 million for a new building for the Park Orchards Community House and Learning Centre
- $350,000 to support community legal services in Manningham
- the Federal Government to encourage the Victorian Government to make commitments around the North East Link Project.
And we’re seeking funding support for road and footpath upgrades, sports infrastructure projects and LED floodlighting conversion projects.
We want to see a range of improved transport options for our Manningham community.
We’re calling for $3 million to undertake a feasibility study to inform the high frequency busway implementation along the Doncaster Road corridor, between Mitcham Station and Doncaster Park and Ride.
“The North East Link Program (NELP) is having a significant impact on our community and we are continuing our advocacy for the best outcomes for local residents,” Cr Diamante said
As a funding partner of the North East Link Project, we want the Federal Government to encourage the Victorian Government to:
- deliver a Transit Oriented Development when Doncaster Park and Ride is redeveloped.
- improve access and transparency on the Environment Protection Agency air quality data reports.
- install filters within the Southern Portal Ventilation Stack or improve transparency around the trigger for when filters would be required.
As a member of the Eastern Region Group of Councils, we also supports the regional goals and advocacy priorities of:
- Addressing financial stability
- Supporting housing growth
- Building climate resilience
- Transforming movement in the east.
