All Manningham reserves are closed on days of total fire ban, or higher extreme or catastrophic Fire Danger Rating. Visiting a reserve on these days places you at risk and potentially in danger.
To check the current Fire Danger Rating or find out if it’s a total fire ban day, go to the CFA website.
Please let us know if you notice anything unsafe, like a broken tree branch or damaged playground.
Finer fuels such as leaf litter, tree branches and twigs raise the level of risk within reserves. Large fallen trees require a much higher level of heat to burn and provide habitats for native wildlife.
Here are some actions we take throughout the year to reduce the fire risk at this reserve:
We manage 20 per cent of the land in Manningham, but the other 66 per cent is privately owned. Visit the CFA website for information on how to prepare your private property for fire.

As part of the North East Link Project (NELP), Doncaster Park and Ride will be closed from January 2025 and temporary bus stops will be put in place along Doncaster Road.
Buses will remain operational across all bus routes, including the 207, 280, 282, 284, 285, 303 and the 907 and 908 DART SmartBuses. The Park and Ride will be closed and temporary bus stops will be in place until 2028.
This is part of NELP’s upcoming redevelopment of the Doncaster Park and Ride to connect it to the Eastern Busway, a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway.
We understand that the community and residents will be impacted as a result of the closures and are actively advocating on your behalf to improve commuter options. Our suggestions to North East Link Project and the State Government include:
Over the next few weeks, NELP officers will be distributing flyers and doing a door-knock in the local area. You’ll also start to see signage appear soon.
We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available and will continue to advocate for ways that can minimise the impact for our community.
We’re also seeking reliable and sustainable transport options for the Manningham community while the Eastern Busway is being developed. Continue to check back here for updates.
You can read more on the Big Build website and sign up to receive email updates.

Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

Why is the footpath needed?
This footpath will connect the existing footpaths on Andersons Creek Road, improving pedestrian connectivity, and safety and accessibility around the car park.
When will the works happen?
Works began in March 2024, and are expected to be completed by the end of May, subject to weather conditions.
How will the works affect me?
Car parking will be modified for the duration of the works.

Find out more about the Dalry Avenue and Arundel Road drainage upgrade....
Improving drainage and connecting our community through safe footpaths are some of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
We're seeking community feedback on this project until Friday 6 December 2024. For more information or to provide feedback, contact our Civil Projects team on 9840 9333 or at manningham@manningham.vic.gov.au.
We’re upgrading the road and drainage system, and building a new footpath on Dalry Avenue and Arundel Road in Park Orchards.
The project will include:
Construction will be along Arundel Road and Dalry Avenue, between Knees Road and Park Road, Park Orchards.
We're currently working on the design, and construction timing will be confirmed closer to the time.
This schedule is subject to weather conditions and third party approvals.
We’re delivering this project as part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.

Future works to be completed as part of this project
This upgrade will address community concerns about nuisance flooding in the area. The new drainage system will improve stormwater management, preventing flooding, reducing water pooling, and minimising erosion. It will be supported by a formal road, with a kerb and channel to direct stormwater into drains, reducing surface water and improving road safety. This will ensure a safer and more resilient environment for our community.
The new footpath will improve pedestrian connectivity by connecting the existing footpaths on Knees Road and Park Road, providing a safe and accessible walking route to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles.
We'll contact any residents impacted by any design and investigation works directly. We'll provide more information about the impacts of these works closer to construction.
