COVID-19 UPDATE: In light of the Victorian Government's announcement, Doncare has made the decision to postpone the Empowered Women, Empowering Women charity luncheon. The circuit breaker may have temporarily tripped our plans to host the event on the 4 June, but rest assured we are working busily behind the scenes with Jane Caro and Bramleigh Estate to reschedule the event.
We are committed to creating the best possible experience for all of our guests and whilst we would love you to hang in there with us while we navigate the next few weeks and determine a new date, we do want to provide you with the flexibility to obtain a refund, should you wish to do so. In order to initiate a refund request, please email martine.corbett@doncare.org.au.
Doncare would like to take this opportunity to thank our fabulous sponsors, Bendigo Bank, Bramleigh Estate, 89.9 The Light, Kinexus, Quintons IGA and Woodards. Your support of this fundraising initiative is sincerely appreciated.
Join Jane Caro at the Empowered Women, Empowering Women charity luncheon. Enjoy a three course meal and wine at the stunning Bramleigh Estate and hear from one of Australia's most influential social commentators.
Across the global stage, women's empowerment continues to be a common theme uniting communities and Jane Caro AM is a woman known for saying what's on her mind.
The author, novelist, broadcaster, columnist and social commentator is a weekly regular on Channel Seven's 'Weekend Sunrise' and 'Mornings' on Channel Nine. Jane appears frequently on the ABC's 'Q&A' and 'The Drum', Network Ten's 'The Project' and Channel Nine's 'Sunrise'. She is also a regular panelist on the ABC's top-rating show The Gruen Transfer and a regular columnist for MamaMia, The Conversation, MT magazine, the SMH and The Drum.
#ewew2021 is set to emulate the success of the inaugural charity luncheon which boasted a stellar line-up including comedian and radio personality Jo Stanley, 2015 Australian of the Year, Dr Rosie Batty and award-winning designer and TV personality Shaynna Blaze. In fact, we've invited Jo Stanley back this year to host the event because we know how much you loved her! Rosie has even promised to join us again for what promises to be another fabulous afternoon.

Events Partners
Proudly supported by Bramleigh Estate and Bendigo Bank's Doncaster East and Templestowe Village Community Bank branches.
Since its inception in 1969, Doncare – Doncaster Community Care and Counselling Centre Inc. – has provided support to enhance the quality of life of people living in the Manningham and surrounding communities.
The Templestowe Route upgrade will include, road resurfacing, footpaths, underground drainage, kerb and channel and other improvements to enhance safety, pedestrian connectivity, and infrastructure quality.
Where is it?
The Templestowe Route is a series of important local link roads between Fitzsimons Lane and Templestowe Road. These roads provide access to local residents, Templestowe Village and connect traffic travelling to and from surrounding suburbs.
Why is the upgrade needed?
Several safety issues have been identified with Templestowe Route, including poor drainage and inadequate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
This project aims to:
- improve safety for all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians
- address traffic and speeding concerns
- extend the lifespan of the road
- reduce drainage issues
- improve road and footpath longevity.

Improving drainage and flood mitigation is one of the ways we're building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2023-24 Capital Works Program, we're ugrading the drainage system at Melbourne Hill Road, Warrandyte to improve stormwater management and reduce flood risk.
Where is it?
The project area covers approximately 35 hectares of residential area along Melbourne Hill Road, Houghton Road, Francis Street, and Lorraine Avenue.
Why is the upgrade needed?
This upgrade was initiated in response to the severe flooding event in December 2011, where several residential and commercial properties flooded in the area.
The project will involve constructing a new drainage system to minimise the future risk of houses flooding in this catchment. The new drainage system will better direct stormwater into underground drains and reduce the risk of future flooding events.
The upgrade aims to:
- improve flood protection for private dwellings
- reduce the risk of uncontrolled water flow by diverting them to underground drains
- improve pedestrian safety by reducing surface water flow
- minimise the number of properties directly affected by the works
- minimise any potential impact on existing structures
- increase road safety where possible and maintain current roadside parking
- preserve the green wedge aesthetic of the area
- retain the area's peri-urban feel by minimising the works' visual impacts
- minimise tree loss and replant with semi-mature stock where possible.
When will the works happen?
Phase one construction commenced in June 2023. This phase will be delivered in four stages, and is expected to take five months to complete.
We’re aiming to commence phase two construction in late 2024.
We will let you know if delays occur due to poor weather or unexpected events.
How will the works affect me?
Road closures
During the construction process, we will be required to close sections of the road. Appropriate detour signage and traffic management will be in place to assist with traffic flow. Every effort will be made to reduce any inconvenience during the progress of these works. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Impacted properties
Some sections of the new drainage system overlap with easements on private property. If your property is impacted, we will contact you directly via mail with detailed information on the next step.
We will make every effort to reduce inconvenience to residents. Thank you for your patience while we plan and undertake these important works.
Questions?
If you have any questions about these works or our drainage upgrade program, contact us.

Find out more about the public toilet upgrade at Donvale Reserve. ...
As part of the Public Toilet Plan 2021, we're upgrading the toilets at Donvale Reserve in 2024.
Where is it?
These public toilets are located in the northeast corner of Donvale Reserve, at 36 to 82 Mitcham Road, Donvale.
When will it happen?
We have begun preparing for the toilet upgrade works, and the temporary toilet block is available for use. Construction will begin as soon as possible and we expect to complete the project by mid-2024.
Construction on the playspace upgrade has also begun. Find out more at Your Say Manningham.
Why is it needed?
The implementation of the Public Toilet Plan involves delivering new public toilets and refurbishing existing ones. The upgraded facilities will be safer, gender-inclusive and more accessible with improved footpath connections.
We have prioritised this location to be delivered in 2023/24 to align with the playspace upgrade scheduled for March 2023.
What will the new toilets look like?
The upgraded toilets will include:
• An accessible cubicle
• Two ambulatory cubicles
• Baby and child change facilities
• A rainwater tank to utilise a natural water supply
• External and internal powered lighting • Skylights for natural lighting
• Perforated picture panels with painted images inspired by the local surroundings
• Concrete paths to connect the toilets with surrounding facilities

To minimise the noise and disruptions caused by these works, our modular toilets are made offsite in Geelong and then delivered to the site.
During construction, we will provide temporary toilets for public use. If possible, these toilets will be connected to the existing plumbing infrastructure to reduce any unpleasant smells.

Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program, we’re building a footpath along Parker Street between Milne Street and McLachlan Street to better connect residents and the broader community to the shops and facilites at Templestowe Village. This will also include kerb and channel and roadside drainage.
Where is it?
We’re building a footpath along Parker Street between Milne Street and McLachlan Street, Templestowe.
Why is the footpath needed?
There is no current path, with uneven terrain alongside the road. This is a particularly steep slope making pedestrian movement currently difficult. Building this path will better connect residents and the broader community to the shops and facilites at Templestowe Village.
When will the works happen?
Works will begin in late May 2024, taking around nine weeks to complete.
Project dates are subject to change due to programming with our contractors and weather
How will the works affect me?
- Construction noise from machinery and workers
- temporary disruptions to on-street parking
- Temporary disruptions to driveway access - we will contact affected residents directly.
We will make every effort to minimise disruptions during construction.
