… Advocating for our community for the Doncaster Park and Ride North East Link Project (NELP) has released designs for the redevelopment of the Doncaster Park and Ride, which you can now provide feedback on and have your say. On this page North East Link All News … …
Article Content
North East Link Project (NELP) has released designs for the redevelopment of the Doncaster Park and Ride, which you can now provide feedback on and have your say.
The designs are within a draft Urban Design and Landscape Plan (UDLP), which shows that the Doncaster Park and Ride will connect to a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway, known as the Eastern Busway.
The plan is to construct the facility into a modern version of its existing state (like-for-like), resulting in the Park and Ride being retained as a car park and bus interchange only, with a similar number of car parking spaces. The draft UDLP is currently on exhibition for public comment.
Council will be providing a submission in response to the UDLP to propose that the current plan is a missed opportunity to reconstruct the Doncaster Park and Ride as a mixed-use Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).
While the facility being redeveloped into a modern interchange is positive, this is a key opportunity for TOD, which could provide wide-ranging benefits to the community, environment and local economy.
We will be advocating that there is a growing demand for park and ride facilities due to population growth and the lack of any rail infrastructure in Manningham. This is shown through the high-usage of the newly opened Bulleen Park and Ride which consistently operates at capacity, and reinforces the significant opportunity this Doncaster Park and Ride site offers for our community.
As such, our submission seeks to include a multi-level car park with increased capacity, new open spaces areas, as well as retail and other commercial opportunities. This is in-line with our commissioned 2022 site design concept which was endorsed on 26 July 2022 as Council’s preferred redevelopment outcome for the Doncaster Park and Ride site.
We ask you to join us in advocating that Doncaster Park and Ride be reconstructed to include:
- mixed-use transit-oriented development
- increase in carpark spaces, or
- flexibility to address population growth and allow for mixed-use development in future.
Have your say
Help shape the Doncaster Park and Ride. You can provide feedback while the UDLP is on exhibition until 5.00pm Tuesday 24 September 2024.
To find out more, or to make a submission, head to Engage Victoria.
What’s next?
Council will be considering its submission on the Doncaster Park and Ride UDLP at its meeting on Tuesday 16 September. Following this, the submission will be lodged on behalf of Council to Engage Victoria.
NELP will consider all written comments and submissions received, before the final UDLP is submitted to the Minister for Planning for consideration.

Article Content
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:
- developing a temporary car park at a nearby site
- developing a temporary pick up/drop off area nearby
- providing a dedicated shuttle service
- adding secure bicycle parking, or
- funding improvements to active transport connections from key Manningham locations to the temporary bus stops.
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.

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:
- Installation of a new underground drainage system
- Road upgrades, including widening in sections and asphalting
- Installation of kerb and channel
- Construction of a new concrete footpath
Where is it happening?
Construction will be along Arundel Road and Dalry Avenue, between Knees Road and Park Road, Park Orchards.
- Drainage improvements
- Underground drainage along the roadside on Dalry Avenue, from Park Road intersection to Arundel Road intersection.
- Underground drainage within the easement behind 116 Arudel Road, 1-31 Craithie Avenue, and 685-687 Park Road.
- Road upgrades and asphalting: Dalry Avenue, and a section of Arundel Road.
- Footpath construction along the western side of Dalry Avenue, and the southern side of Arundel Road.
When will the works happen?
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.
Previous works completed as part of this project
Between 2022 and 2024, we:
- Installation of a drainage system in the easement at the rear of 2 to 22 Euston Avenue, Park Orchards.
Future works to be completed as part of this project
- Installation of a drainage system in the easement behind 116 Arundel Road, 1-31 Craithie Avenue and 685-687 Park Road, Park Orchards.
Why are the works needed?
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.
How will the works affect me?
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.

… consultation for upcoming footpath projects in Warrandyte and Wonga Park Find out about the community feedback we … sessions. On this page All News Parking, Roads and Footpaths … Wrapping up our consultation for upcoming footpath projects in Warrandyte and Wonga Park …
Article Content
Over 50 residents attended our December consultation sessions to review project plans, ask questions and provide feedback on upcoming footpath projects in Warrandyte and Wonga Park.
The discussions were insightful, providing us the opportunity to speak face-to-face with the community to hear their experiences and concerns, and allowing us to discuss the objectives and benefits of the proposed projects.
The key topics that were raised across all projects were:
- Protection of the environment
We discussed the benefits of designated paths, which prevent people from trampling on vegetation to create new paths. When designing new paths, we do our best to navigate existing vegetation and trees. - Material types
Many attendees expressed their preference for softer path surfaces in these suburbs. We strive to balance this preference with our responsibility to provide safe, accessible and environmentally friendly infrastructure. For example, gravel and crushed rock are not suitable for paths with steeper slopes as the surface will erode over time, often causing environmental and safety issues. Residents can read the Green Wedge Guide to see how we select materials that best work with the natural environment. - Project drivers and rationale
We received several questions about how our projects were chosen.
Many of our footpath projects are derived from community requests and feedback. Although we have strategies in place, such as the Manningham Bicycle Strategy, hearing from the community at consultations like this one is critical in helping us shape and prioritise our projects.
Here's some more information about the project-specific discussions we had.
Pound Road, Warrandyte
Why are we doing this?
This project responds to community requests for a safe and accessible path down the road, allowing pedestrians and people with prams or wheelchairs to actively travel around the area.
After considering your feedback, we will now deliver this upgrade in two stages. The first stage will be from Diane court to the Warrandyte State Park, likely beginning in March 2024. For the second stage, from Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road to Diane Court, we will share the final design with the community once it is completed, before proceeding with the project construction.
Why use solid materials (concrete/asphalt)?
You told us you’d like us to minimise hard surfaces. So, around 70 per cent of this footpath will be made of gravel and crushed rock. We will only construct the footpath using asphalt in sections at higher risk of erosion or washing onto the road. Also following your feedback, we’ll trial stone kerbs for sections along the roadside to better blend with the natural environment.
How will you protect trees and the environment in this area?
A designated footpath prevents people from treading on grasses, shrubs and trees to create a path.
Taroona Avenue (section four of the Main Yarra Trail), Warrandyte
Why are we doing this?
The project was initiated by community requests for a safe and accessible path that will allow pedestrians and cyclists to use the less busy road. This section will also complete the Main Yarra Trail.
Why solid materials (concrete/asphalt)?
As this area receives high foot traffic, a solid surface will provide a more durable, low-maintenance solution. However, in response to your feedback, we have reduced the path size from the proposed shared path, down to a footpath.
What kerb type will be used?
You asked us to use materials that better blend with the environment. So, this project will trial a section of stone kerb.
Main Yarra Trail extension (Pound Road to Taroona Avenue), Warrandyte
Why are we doing this?
This is connection of the Main Yarra Trail will provide a link for active commuters from Melbourne’s CBD to Warrandyte. A shared path will be safer allowing for recreational cyclists to ride without interacting with main road traffic.
Why along Heidelburg-Warrandyte Road?
We have explored various alternate routes, but the chosen path on the south side of the main road was the best option due to the terrain and non-straightforward connection (diverting down smaller residential streets).
What about guardrail/fencing?
In response to feedback about guardrails and fencing, we’ll discuss this further with the Department of Transport and Planning, as they are responsible for arterial roads such as Heidelburg-Warrandyte Road. A road safety assessment will be completed as part of the design process to ensure that all safety elements are considered in the design.
Yarra Road, Wonga Park
Why are we doing this?
The footpaths on Yarra Road and Dudley Road will complete the existing footpath network, connecting the shops and sporting facilities to and from Jumping Creek Road to Homestead Road.
Why solid materials (concrete/asphalt)?
As this area receives high foot traffic, a solid surface will provide a more durable, low-maintenance solution.

… street sweeping program in Manningham Tags Parking, Roads and Footpaths Roads and footpaths … Street sweeping …
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 |
