Media release: Major milestone for Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade
… release: Major milestone for Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade The first phase of the Melbourne Hill Road drainage … release: Major milestone for Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrade …
Article Content

The first phase of the Melbourne Hill Road drainage upgrades is now complete, and Manningham Council is preparing for phase two works to start late next year.

Manningham Mayor, Cr Deirdre Diamante said the completion of phase one marks a significant milestone for the project.

“Phase one has tackled key safety and flooding issues for locals, while also enhancing the local habitat through planting of species of native vegetation to provide shelter and food as well as contributing to the overall biodiversity.”

This major project, covering approximately 35 hectares of residential area, aims to reduce flood risk to protect local properties and businesses.

Commencing earlier this year, with the installation of underground drainage along the roadside, widening of the road, and removal of deep depressions and driveway culverts.

We are now preparing for the second phase of construction, which will focus on upgrading the drainage systems within easements on private properties. This phase will improve stormwater management and provide flood protection for properties by addressing surface water runoff.

“We’re looking forward to the next stage of construction starting next year, as it will provide essential flood protection for properties along Melbourne Hill Road,” the Mayor added.

Construction is expected to begin in late 2025 and take approximately one year to complete. However, the schedule may be affected by weather conditions and the potential relocation of underground service assets.

In the meantime, Council will continue its planting program, supporting the establishment of new native plantings over the coming years.

We’re making West Oval better, safer and easier to play on – all year round.

Better fields. More play.

The upgrade will:

  • support footy and cricket, with a reshaped oval

West Oval will be closed from September 2025 to March 2026 while we complete these improvements.

We encourage you to explore and enjoy other parts of Wonga Park Reserve while construction is underway.

More oval upgrades coming soon

This is one of several oval upgrades across Manningham that will support sport and recreation in our community.

It’s also part of the Wonga Park Reserve Masterplan, which guides how the reserve will grow and improve over the next 15 years.

Road upgrade: Alexander Road, Warrandyte
… Road upgrade: Alexander Road, Warrandyte We're making improvements … and safety. On this page Roads and footpaths … Road upgrade: Alexander Road, Warrandyte …
Article Content

We're making improvements along Alexander Road to improve accessibility and safety.

The project will include:

  • a new footpath 
  • kerb and channel
  • drainage improvements

 

Where is it? 

These improvements will be constructed along Alexander Road in Warrandyte, between Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road and the back of Warrandyte High School.

A map showing the location of the proposed footpath construction along Alexander Road, Warrandyte.

 

Why is it needed?

Upgrades to Alexander Road have been prioritised based on both community feedback and strategic planning, which identified a need for improved drainage, safer paths, and better road conditions. 

Alexander Road scored highly in our footpath priority program due to its proximity to Warrandyte High School, key bus stops, and the Main Yarra Trail. The works will upgrade the road surface and provide safer, more accessible paths, making it easier and safer for residents and students to move around the area and encouraging more walking and active transport.

Drainage improvements are a key part of the project, responding to concerns raised by residents about stormwater runoff and erosion. The existing deep table drains will be replaced with a new underground drainage system designed to reduce flooding risks, prevent erosion, and lower maintenance needs and costs.


When will the works happen?

We plan to design this project as part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.
 
 

Questions or feedback?

For more information, questions, or to provide feedback on this project, call us on 9840 9333 or email manningham@manningham.vic.gov.au.

A rail line to Doncaster

The Victorian Government's proposed underground rail link will connect suburbs from Cheltenham to Werribee.

The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) includes a Doncaster Station. However construction may be over ten years away.

map showing the proposed stations and route of the Suburban Rail Loop

We are advocating for the Doncaster Station footprint to be set aside as part of Stage 1, to allow for planning of the Doncaster Hill precinct. For an express bus service that mirrors the Suburban Rail Loop Alignment. Providing a public transport connection to key education, healthcare and employment precincts.

Congestion on the Eastern Freeway

Why do we need a rail line to Doncaster?

Over 125,000 people in our community will benefit from a Doncaster Station. Currently our only public transport option is an over-crowded bus network that is often delayed by traffic congestion.

With Doncaster Hill’s population and traffic continuing to grow, we are urging the Victorian Government to include a Doncaster Station in stage two of the SRL and secure a location for the train station now.

Manningham is the only municipality without a tram or train line.

Car ownership per household is considerably high and daily public transport use for employment purposes is below the metropolitan average.

Our bus system is buckling under pressure to provide enough services and meet capacity for our growing city.

Doncaster Station not part of stage one construction

We are strongly advocating to the Victorian Government to include Doncaster Station in Stage two of the SRL.

We are working with stakeholders and the SRL Authority to secure a site location for the future train station.

What’s next?

We will continue to work with the Suburban Rail Loop Authority and the Department of Transport to advocate for improved public transport services to Manningham.

We want

  • fewer roads
  • more public transport options for our community
  • a railway station to Doncaster
