Article Content

Manningham Council is seeking community feedback on a concept design for an upgrade at Wombat Bend Playground. 

Wombat Bend Playground is a much-loved regional playground catering to visitors of all abilities – created by the community, for the community. It embraces inclusive design to foster creative development, inspiration and imagination and to encourage the mind to explore.

The concept design developed for the playground upgrade reflects insights gathered from community consultations held in December 2024. The proposed upgrades include:

  • a diverse range of play equipment suitable for all ages and abilities
  • a dedicated swing zone with five different seat types
  • a larger water play area
  • a sand play zone with raised tables and a digger
  • a refurbished maze zone
  • improved access paths for better connectivity and movement
  • upgraded amenities, including new seating, picnic areas, drinking fountains, shelters, and BBQs
  • enhanced shade and expanded grassed areas
  • a new co-located fitness station.

Community consultation now open

To have your say on the Wombat Bend Playground concept design, visit yoursay.manningham.vic.gov.au/wombat-bend-playground-upgrade.

Council is also holding an onsite consultation session on Sunday 18 May.

Community members are invited to attend between 10:30am and 12:00pm (noon) to discuss the design directly with the project team.

Council values the input of the community in shaping the future of the Wombat Bend Playground and appreciates everyone’s involvement in making the playground a better space for all.

Consultation closes Monday 2 June 2025.

Doncaster Park and Ride closure
… Doncaster Park and Ride closure Doncaster Park and Ride will close from Sunday 12 January 2025, … On this page North East Link All News … Doncaster Park and Ride closure …
Article Content

Doncaster Park and Ride will close from Sunday 12 January 2025, with temporary bus stops to be put in place along Doncaster Road.

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.

Article Content

The Aranga Reserve off-lead dog park is set for an upgrade to improve the park’s safety, usability and comfort for both dogs and their owners.

This upgrade will be delivered with support from a $200,000 State Government grant, through Round 2 funding of its New and Upgraded Dog Parks program.

Located in Donvale, Aranga Reserve features a fenced dog activity park, playspace, and picnic area.  

The concept for the grant application was developed in consultation with Friends of Manningham Dogs and Cats (FOMDAC). The proposed improvements include:

  • new entry gates and fencing to improve access and safety

  • new and upgraded equipment and play areas

  • additional seating and shaded areas

  • new lighting to improve safety 

  • additional planting to improve shade. 

The total project budget is $300,000. 

Consultation on this upgrade is planned for late 2025, with delivery expected in the 2025–26 financial year.

The Aranga Reserve dog park upgrade is supported by the Victorian Government through the New and Upgraded Dog Parks program.

Advocating for our community for the Doncaster Park and Ride

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.

You can read more on the Big Build website and sign up to receive email updates.

Submissions close 5.00pm, Tuesday 24 September 2024.

Everyone has the capacity for creative expression and enjoyment. 

Heide’s Creative Age Programs are designed specifically for people living with early stage dementia and their Carers to discover their creativity through the non-verbal avenue of art, and to promote health and wellbeing. Heide’s Creative Age programs are kindly supported by the Phil Taylor Foundation.

The sessions run from 1:30pm each Thursday until 3 April 2025.

Transport option are as follows:

Public Transport
Train (Hurstbridge line) to Heidelberg station and bus #903 (Mordialloc bound) to Heide. Disembark at the Bulleen Road/Manningham Road stop. Estimated bus travel time is 5-10 minutes. Walk to Heide through Banksia Park, via the pedestrian path next to the Helmet sculpture on the corner of Bridge Street or by walking North on Bulleen Road and entering via the upper car park.

Bicycle
Heide is located next to Banksia Park near the Main Yarra Trail. From Southbank, this 33km bike trail passes ancient gums and billabongs before ending at Westerfolds Park in Templestowe. With a flat grade and good quality track, this trail makes for an enjoyable experience and a truly ‘green’ way to travel to Heide.

Car
Free parking available on-site and additional parking available in adjoining Banksia Park (enter via 5 Templestowe Road)

Bus / coach parking
The parking at Heide is not suitable for buses so we advise bus and coach drivers to park in the bays on Templestowe Road, immediately preceding the entrance to the museum at 7 Templestowe Road (alongside picket fence).

Article Content

We've provided a submission to the Urban Design and Landscape Plan (UDLP) for the Doncaster Park and Ride Upgrades, as part of the North East Link Project (NELP).

Our recommendations throughout the submission demonstrate our strong commitment to advocating for a mixed-use transit-oriented development due to the wide-ranging benefits to the community, environment, and local economy.

Our detailed submission focuses on key outcomes we're seeking, including: 

  • multi-level car park with increased capacity
  • a mix of retail and commercial development
  • public open space areas
  • increased car parking spaces for bus commuters
  • improved access to retail for surrounding residents
  • improved public transport access
  • pedestrian connectivity to be maintained and improved   
  • noise walls that meet the expectations of our community, and
  • robust future-proofing for our growing population and evolving community needs.

Our submission also provides a detailed assessment of the UDLP, focusing on key areas across: 

  • traffic, car parking and access
  • urban design and architecture
  • open space and landscaping
  • amenity
  • cultural themes
  • as well as other considerations.

We lodged our submission in September 2024.
