The State Government has now commenced works for the North East Link Program (NELP).
For NELP and construction information and updates
Manningham Council is continuing to work diligently alongside North East Link Program and State Government on all aspects of the project. We are committed to representing community interests with the aim of mitigating impacts, as far practicable, to the community.
Redevelopment works commenced at Bulleen Park in March 2025, as major works progressed for the North East Link tunnels and connection to the Eastern Freeway.
As part of North East Link, Bulleen Park is being upgraded to transform local sporting facilities and spaces to cater for the needs of the wider community in Melbourne’s north east.
The project is being delivered by Development Victoria on behalf of North East Link.
Development Victoria previously managed the construction of Powerful Owl Park in Templestowe, which was delivered in June 2024.
We will continue to work closely with both parties and advocate for our community.
Built Environs will be the head contractor for the redevelopment, working alongside Williams Ross Architects, to complete the design.
User groups and the community will be kept informed of progress and milestones via the Development Victoria website.
You can find the latest updates in the monthly Bulleen Park site bulletin delivered by NELP and DV.
Throughout the redevelopment, traffic conditions around Bulleen Park are subject to change based on North East Link works. Please ensure that you plan ahead and allow additional time when arriving or leaving Bulleen Park, particularly during peak periods.
Signage will be in place at the entrance to Bulleen Park to assist you with entering and direct you towards the available car parking and sporting fields, which will remain in use.
Entry to Bulleen Park by car is via the Bulleen Park Access Road.
If arriving on foot or by bicycle, there is also a public pedestrian access on the south side of the Bulleen Park Access Road.
A large temporary carpark has been built in the far west of Bulleen Park. The front area of Bulleen Park nearby to Bulleen Road continues to support construction related to the North East Link.
A pedestrian path has been built from the large temporary car cark to the existing pavilion and signage and lighting has been installed along the path and within the temporary car park. Signage helps guide to pedestrian pathways.
Construction fencing has been placed around some areas in the northern area of Bulleen Park where construction is taking place.
A staged construction will occur with the first oval and pavilion in the east to commence first, followed by the second pavilion and existing ovals.
Sporting activities and public access to walking trails will continue throughout construction outside of any fenced off areas.
We will continue to manage all allocations for Bulleen Park throughout and at the conclusion of the redevelopment.
Please be aware, while existing operations are continuing, we will not be accepting any additional usage at Bulleen Park until project completion, unless under extenuating circumstances, (i.e., due to ground conditions for clubs with approved allocation).
Manningham's newest and much anticipated soccer facility, Powerful Owl Park is now completed.
Development Victoria worked in conjunction with North East Link Program (NELP) to deliver the facility to ensure community impacts are minimised by changes at Bulleen Park.
We will manage the facility on behalf of NELP, as part of the overall management of Manningham sporting reserves, and in accordance with required conditions of use.
NELP will plant two replacement trees for every tree removed during construction of the project.
A key objective for Council is to ensure that the loss of tree canopy and vegetation is minimised and mitigated. We're working closely with NELP to identify appropriate locations for early tree planting to occur to allow the new canopy to establish. Some early planting has already occurred across various locations in Manningham, including Katrina Reserve (Doncaster) and Finns Reserve (Lower Templestowe).
Council has planted more than 500 trees since 2022 within various reserves in Manningham on behalf of NELP. We will continue to support the early planting program.
The historic 300 year old River Red Gum on Bridge Street in Bulleen is in close proximity to major North East Link works and must be protected. This tree is a local landmark, pre-dates European settlement and is an important example of our environmental heritage.
We will continue to regularly attend when works are being undertaken near the tree to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are undertaken.
We are continuing to advocate to NELP and other State authorities to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to mitigate the air quality impacts of the project on the health and wellbeing of the local community.
We are also working closely with NELP to ensure that noise associated with construction is mitigated as far as practicable. Any noise emitting works that may exceed noise levels are also planned to occur either during the day or early in the night, as far as practicable.
Affected residents are also notified prior to the works that noise may occur during a time period with a direct NELP contact provided to them to call where concerns are raised.

As part of the Inspired Living Series and National Recycling Week, Nina Gbor and fellow panel members will discuss sustainable fashion in a circular economy at the Manningham Function Centre.
Nina Gbor:
Nina is a sustainable fashion educator, international speaker, sustainability consultant, and Founder of Eco Styles. Nina is also the Director of the Circular Economy and Waste Program at The Australia Institute and has been featured on the ABC's War on Waste. Nina will talk about her journey into sustainable fashion and discuss the collaborative effort needed to address sustainability challenges in the fashion industry.
Courtney Holm:
Courtney is a circular fashion systems designer, thought leader and entrepreneur. She founded experimental circular fashion label A.BCH in 2017 and built it into a world leading example of what circular fashion could aspire to. In early 2024, she made a strategic decision to step away from making new clothes in order to focus on industry wide solutions. Courtney is the founder and CEO of Circular Sourcing - a climate tech platform turning surplus textile waste into resource. Courtney's expertise is in circular design for clothing, material flows and circular systems design. The heart of her practice is industry transformation for sustainable and equitable futures.
Jenna Flood:
Jenna is a slow fashion advocate whose main focus is helping people understand the issues that surround fast fashion. She advocates for sustainable alternatives such as pre-loved, vintage and clothing made with sustainable practices. Jenna believes in slowing down our clothing consumption by curating capsule wardrobes and buying for long term investments instead of purchasing on a whim or following short trends. She hopes that in the future, more people invest in the sharing economy by renting or borrowing garments instead of owning them.
