With a vibrant food and art culture with a touch of history, Manningham is a special place to be. Retaining many of its cultural links, there’s something for everyone in Manningham: from sacred sites of the area’s First Peoples to the early gold mining settlements.
Local government
Local government in the area dates back to the election of the Templestowe District Roads Board in 1856. The first meeting of the Board was at Upper Yarra Hotel, Templestowe.
Proclamation that the Shire of Doncaster and Templestowe took place on 28 February 1967. Up until 15 December 1994, Doncaster and Templestowe Council administered the area until the creation of the City of Manningham. The new city included Doncaster, Templestowe and small sections of the Shire of Lilydale. Wonga Park and part of north Ringwood also became part of Manningham. Three State Government appointed commissioners managed the city until 24 march 1997 when 8 councillors were sworn into office.
Our First Nations heritage
You can see the rich cultural heritage of the area through local landmarks and places of significance. First Peoples have been in Victoria for over 30,000 years and we can still see evidence of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung presence in Manningham.
The European influence (mid 1800s)
From the mid-1800s, European settlement began in Manningham with the earliest building constructed in the 1840s. We still have plenty of places of heritage significance where visitors and locals can explore and admire.
Our suburbs
Each suburb in Manningham has its own unique characteristics and are wonderful places to live and visit.

- the completion of the Ring Road in Greensborough
- an overhaul the Eastern Freeway
- Melbourne’s first dedicated busway

North East Link is split into five construction packages, with the following three located in Manningham:
- Central/tunnels
- South
- East
Related Links
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.
Bulleen Park sporting facilities redevelopment
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.
Who is managing the redevelopment of Bulleen Park?
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.
Getting to Bulleen Park
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.
What is happening on site
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.
Allocations
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).
Powerful Owl Park
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.

Environment
Tree planting
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.
River Red Gum, Bulleen
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.
Air quality and noise
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.
