The applicant is responsible for managing public safety if applying for the permit. They are also responsible for reinstating Manningham’s assets to our standards following the works. There might be a requirement for an applicant to produce traffic management plans before permit approval.
You will need to apply for a WDP for all stormwater drainage connections before commencing any drainage connections.
You will a WDP before connecting a drain on private property to Manningham’s drains. Our drains include underground drains which share a common boundary with roads or are within easements on private property.

You should apply for a WDP at least 10 business days before you plan to start the works.
The permit fee is $384. We will issue an invoice after completing an initial assessment of the application. You are not required to pay up front.

It may take up to 10 business days for us to email you an invoice. The permit approval will be sent after you’ve paid.
If you are no longer doing any work requiring a WDP, contact us to cancel your application or permit. If you have already made a payment and do not intend on doing the works, we will give you a refund.
You will need to contact the relevant coordinating road authority (CRA) before any work on a road reserve. The CRA will vary depending on whether the road reserve is under local, state or federal government control. To determine which CRA is relevant, contact us.

With a vibrant food and art culture with a touch of history, Manningham is a special place to be. Retaining many of its cultural links, there’s something for everyone in Manningham: from sacred sites of the area’s First Peoples to the early gold mining settlements.
Local government in the area dates back to the election of the Templestowe District Roads Board in 1856. The first meeting of the Board was at Upper Yarra Hotel, Templestowe.
Proclamation that the Shire of Doncaster and Templestowe took place on 28 February 1967. Up until 15 December 1994, Doncaster and Templestowe Council administered the area until the creation of the City of Manningham. The new city included Doncaster, Templestowe and small sections of the Shire of Lilydale. Wonga Park and part of north Ringwood also became part of Manningham. Three State Government appointed commissioners managed the city until 24 march 1997 when 8 councillors were sworn into office.
You can see the rich cultural heritage of the area through local landmarks and places of significance. First Peoples have been in Victoria for over 30,000 years and we can still see evidence of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung presence in Manningham.
From the mid-1800s, European settlement began in Manningham with the earliest building constructed in the 1840s. We still have plenty of places of heritage significance where visitors and locals can explore and admire.
Each suburb in Manningham has its own unique characteristics and are wonderful places to live and visit.
Join award winning visual artist Bridget Hillebrand and Charlotte Sterrett from Yarra Riverkeeper Association as they share their knowledge and passion to promote river connection and care.
Bridget will reveal insights into the creation of her immersive, site-specific installation ‘River’ and Charlotte will discuss ways in which we can all help achieve a healthy, protected and loved Birrarung (Yarra River).
Registration for this event is not required.

The State Government has now commenced works for the North East Link Program (NELP).
For NELP and construction information and updates
Manningham Council is continuing to work diligently alongside North East Link Program and State Government on all aspects of the project. We are committed to representing community interests with the aim of mitigating impacts, as far practicable, to the community.
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.
As part of North East Link, Bulleen Park is being upgraded to transform local sporting facilities and spaces to cater for the needs of the wider community in Melbourne’s north east.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
