To achieve our vision of a high quality, sustainable urban design environment, Doncaster Hill has a number of unique processes in place - in addition to the Manningham Planning Scheme provisions.
The tools below are designed to help you navigate more efficiently through the planning permit application process when developing in Doncaster Hill.
Find out about the boulevard construction specifications for developments located along Doncaster, Williamsons and Tram Roads (including the ceding of land to Council).
Find out how we manage the protection of neighbourhood amenity and assets during construction
All new major developments planned within Doncaster Hill are now required to supply a 3D building file of the proposed development.
Every planning permit issued within Doncaster Hill will include conditions for the submission of a Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) which achieves best practice outcomes. The SMP addresses a range of matters including water, energy and indoor environment quality.
With respect to water, it is a permit condition that the development must connect to Yarra Water’s recycled water and meet our stormwater objectives.
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:
Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.
