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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’re seeking feedback on our draft Road Safety Strategy 2025-2035, which identifies road improvements, targeted education and speed zone reviews as our key priorities.
The draft strategy outlines clear objectives and a detailed action plan to enhance road safety and reduce traffic-related accidents, injuries and fatalities
Our Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, said this strategy will guide proactive projects and programs over the next decade.
“We’re committed to improving our transport system as we strive for ‘Vision Zero’— where nobody is seriously injured or killed on our roads,” said Cr Diamante.
“To plan for safer roads, we first needed to understand the local issues and experiences of road users in Manningham.
“We received more than 200 responses to last year’s community survey, which told us what matters most to our community.
“Now we want to ensure the proposed strategy and action plan accurately reflects community priorities,” she said.
Key proposed actions include:
The draft strategy was informed by feedback from last year’s community consultation, local road safety data, input from road safety partners and aligns with State and Federal strategies.
Provide feedback by completing our survey on the draft Road Safety Strategy 2025-2035 via Your Say Manningham by 21 February 2025.
Feedback from the community and Councillors will shape the final version of the strategy, which will be presented for Council endorsement in early 2025.

The larger western block blends into the neighbouring properties and contains native vegetation comprising of small indigenous canopy trees and 'minor' patches of indigenous understorey.
The smaller eastern block is a tiny land locked parcel at the bottom of a gully that flows into the Mullum Mullum Creek 240 metres away. It contains remnant vegetation (also part of McIntyre Road Biosite 19) and serves a drainage purpose.

Did you know there are 20 virtual fence posts positioned along Jumping Creek Road, between Nelson Drive and the entrance to Warrandyte State Park’s Jumping Creek Reserve, to protect local wildlife and help reduce roadkill?
Installed by Manningham Council as part of the Jumping Creek Road upgrade, these innovative virtual fences are designed to save animals’ lives by releasing sound and light when a car approaches.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, said the initiative is an important step towards addressing wildlife road fatalities.
“These virtual fences are a fantastic way to protect our local wildlife, especially in areas where animals frequently cross the road,” Cr Diamante said.
“We strategically placed these fences near Jumping Creek, as animals use creeks as habitat corridors.”
“You will see the fence posts along the side of the road… and we encourage residents to be aware and help us keep our wildlife safe.”
While they might look like street posts, these virtual fences play a crucial role in enhancing road safey for both wildlife and drivers.
Local wildlife rescuer, Katja Gutwein, has seen the benefits of these fences firsthand.
“The virtual fence is a low-cost solution that has drastically reduced wildlife fatalities and improved safety for all road users,” Ms Gutwein said.
If you spot any damage to the fences, contact Manningham Council on 9840 9333 or email environment@manningham.vic.gov.au.
The fences were installed as part of the Jumping Creek Road upgrade, which aims to improve road safety for all road users.
