Hillcrest Reserve on Lisbeth Avenue is an attractive, well vegetated reserve providing a range of opportunities for the local community, including tennis, children’s play for 1-5 year olds and access to the East Link Trail from Lisbeth Avenue and Savaris Court.
VicRoads acquired a section of the Reserve in 2006 for the construction of EastLink, thereby reducing the Reserve’s area to 1.3 hectares and removing the bushland area that the Reserve was once well known for.
The single tennis court, that was relocated as a result of freeway construction, is managed by a local community club. Opening up the tennis court to the broader community is being considered.

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.

Be part of the Voice for the East and have your say on the future of planning in Victoria from now to 2050.
The Eastern Region Group (ERG) of Councils is joining forces to ensure our local communities are heard as the Victorian Government undertakes a new Plan for Victoria.
The ERG includes Manningham, Knox, Maroondah, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges Councils and represent almost 1 million residents.
Join us at our Voice for the East pop-ups
We want to hear what you think.
Councils in the ERG are hosting listening stations during the week of 22 April 2024.
Come along and talk to Councillors and Council staff about how we can help plan for growth in the eastern region of Melbourne and what is important to you.
- Sunday 28 April at Tunstall Square Village, 8.00am to 12.00pm
- Saturday 4 May at Warrandyte market, 8.00am to 12.00pm.
Impacts to the eastern region of Melbourne
Last year, the Victorian Government announced a goal to deliver an annual average of 80,000 new homes a year, or 800,000 over a decade. This will have significant impacts on the east – with the Eastern Region's population expected to grow by half a million residents over 30 years. It will add to the existing pressures on environment, our housing, transport infrastructure, and community services
We want to make sure that the Victorian Government considers what local communities value when they develop their Plan for Victoria.
A plan for the East
The ERG of Councils have identified priorities for the East.
Community access and productivity
Increase sustainable transport options and reduce car dependency through bus and train network improvements
Infrastructure to support growth
Fund and deliver drainage, recreation, social and community infrastructure to support sustainable growth and protect amenity and environmental values
Our natural assets
Maintain and improve access to quality open space and our urban tree canopy to build climate and community resilience
Manage housing growth
Leverage major projects and local council expertise to deliver diverse and affordable housing, in areas with access to services and not exposed to flood and climate risk.
How to get involved
Have your say to the Victorian Government
We want the Victorian Government to consider the particular needs of the eastern region of Melbourne. Have your say on the future of planning in Victoria from now to 2050. Give your feedback to the State Government on A Plan for Victoria.
Get involved with your local Council
We want to make sure that Eastern region residents have a say in this process about how we grow and develop. Help us plan for growth in the eastern regions of Melbourne so we can advocate to the State Government.
Be part of the Voice for the East and let your Council know your priorities.
Come and talk to us:
- Sunday 28 April at Tunstall Square Village, 8.00am to 12.00pm
- Saturday 4 May at Warrandyte market, 8.00am to 12.00pm.
