Doncaster Park and Ride will close from Sunday 12 January 2025, with temporary bus stops to be put in place along Doncaster Road....
Article Content
This is part of NELP’s upcoming redevelopment of the facility, which will connect it to the Eastern Busway – a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway.
Doncaster Park and Ride has been a valued service for many years, providing convenient parking and bus services for hundreds of commuters daily.
Manningham Council recognises the closure of the Doncaster Park and Ride will significantly impact the Manningham community. We are actively advocating on your behalf to improve alternative commuter options.
Though we have made several requests to NELP, we’re disappointed with the State’s lack of alternatives for impacted commuters and will continue advocating for further options to minimise disruption.
Bulleen Park and Ride opened in April 2023 to provide replacement parking and other travel options, while the Doncaster facility is closed for upgrades.
However, as the Bulleen facility has been consistently operating near capacity, there are limited car spaces available to accommodate commuters affected by the Doncaster facility’s closure.
As the Doncaster Park and Ride bus services will now operate from the newly constructed temporary bus on Doncaster Road from 12 January 2025, we also encourage you to check before you travel and plan your journey via the PTV Journey Planner.
If you do have any questions or concerns, please contact NELP on 1800 105 105, call or see further details at the Big Build website.

… out about our street sweeping program in Manningham Tags Parking, Roads and Footpaths Roads and footpaths … Street …
Under the Road Management Act 2004, we are responsible for street sweeping on local roads within Manningham to remove a build-up of fallen leaves and rubbish.
Why do we need street sweeping?
Street sweeping prevents the influx of leaf fall and litter from entering the underground drainage system potentially causing blockages, subsequent flooding and damaging the environment.
Litter not collected often ends up washing into open watercourses and into local creeks and the Yarra River.
Sweeping also benefits the overall amenity of the street, removes the build-up of dirt and leaves and reduces weeds along the kerb and channel.
What areas does Council sweep?
Council is responsible for maintaining 608km of local roads within Manningham.
Our street sweeping program includes:
- sealed roads with kerb and channel
- car parks and underpasses
- laneways and footpaths within Council maintained shopping precincts.
The Department of Transport and Planning (VicRoads) is responsible for maintaining the arterial road network.
When is street sweeping done?
Street sweeping is run throughout the year to keep our streets clean. We increase the frequency in a number of streets during Autumn when there is more leaf litter on the roads. Shopping precincts and key locations are given high priority.
| Area | Schedule* |
|---|---|
| Local roads within residential areas | Every eight to twelve weeks |
| Footpaths and laneways within shopping precincts | Fortnightly |
| Car parks within shopping precincts | 4 to 5 times per week |
| Car parks within our parks and reserves | Monthly |
| Underpasses | Every two months |
| Streets subject to heavy leaf fall during autumn | Monthly |
*This schedule is indicative.
We also respond to urgent sweeping requests such as storm events and traffic incidents.
What if my street needs sweeping?
Contact us for any urgent sweeping requests or potential hazards.

The new public artwork has been installed, and we're about to begin working on the park's bridges and boardwalks....

Here's an update on some recent and upcoming works delivered as part of the Ruffey Lake Park Masterplan.
New public artwork at Boulevarde Hill
The new sculpture by Natasha Johns-Messenger was installed in June this year.
Named EllipseCircleView, this artwork draws inspiration from the panoramic views of Ruffey Lake Park. Its simple geometric forms encourage visitors to contemplate their surroundings and appreciate the beauty of the landscape.
Find out more about the artist and artwork.
Bridges and boardwalks
Works commencing soon
Starting in October 2024 and continuing through 2025, we’ll be enhancing the pathways around Ruffey Lake Park. These works aim to improve accessibility and connectivity, creating a better experience for park users.
Works will be carried out in stages through 2025, and will include:
King Street pedestrian bridge
We’re building a new bridge across Ruffey Creek to provide a safe and accessible all-weather connection for pedestrians. The bridge will offer an alternative to the existing narrow footpath along King Street.
These works will begin later this month and are expected to be completed in December. This schedule is subject to weather conditions.
King Street underpass widening
We’re widening the existing path under the King Street pedestrian bridge. The upgraded 2.5 metre wide shared path will support pedestrians and cyclists travelling through the area.
These works are scheduled to begin in 2025.
Quarry pedestrian bridge
We’re building a new bridge at the Quarry to provide a safe and accessible path for pedestrians. These works will likely begin in 2025.
Ruffey Lake boardwalk
We’re building a boardwalk along Ruffey Lake to create a safe, accessible, and visually appealing pathway that encourages the community to enjoy the lake and its surroundings.
The boardwalk construction is expected to start in 2025.
We’ll continue to publish updates on the works and schedule on the Ruffey Lake Masterplan Your Say Manningham page – subscribe to receive updates via email.
