Increasing pedestrian movement
We plan the construction of our city’s footpaths, shared paths and trails by identifying the routes that pedestrians use more often on their journeys.
We use community feedback and other key areas to identify this network and locate where new footpaths are needed and plan for their construction.
Works to build a new footpath are prioritised by:
- the pedestrian demand
- the type of road
- its location relative to various facilities within the community
- the proximity to public transport.
Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.

Article Content
UPDATED: 5 June 2024
We recently completed the asphalt and resurfacing works on Everard Drive. Only minor works remain around one of the pits and the spoon drain along Everard Drive. These works are dependent on the relocation of an AusNet asset, and we expect to complete this final stage within the next two months.
We're installing a new drainage system along Everard Drive.
The project is expected to be completed in mid-2024, subject to weather and site conditions.
The project aims to protect properties in this location from the event of severe flooding. The new drains will better direct flood and stormwater away from people’s homes and into designated catchment areas.
During the design phase of the project, great care was taken to consider the cultural and environmental impacts of the drainage system upgrade.
We’ve been working closely with a qualified Heritage Advisor to understand the cultural significance of the location, with the area for works deemed as having a low likelihood of uncovering Aboriginal or other historical artifacts.
We’ve also partnered with qualified arborists to ensure trees with high significance are retained as part of the upgrade. We’ve designed the drain alignment to reduce impact on native vegetation, saving high-value trees and protecting the creek embankment.
Upgrades to existing paths and driveways have also been included in the scope of the project, and a full revegetation and planting program will be undertaken at the completion of construction.
The project will be constructed in two stages:
Stage one: Everard Drive between Taroona Avenue and Keen Avenue
Construction on this section was completed in March 2023.
Stage two: Everard Drive between Keen Avenue and Yarra Street
Updated 5 June:
This stage is well underway. Only minor works remain around one of the pits and the spoon drain along Everard Drive. These works are dependent on the relocation of an AusNet asset, and we expect to complete this final stage within the next two months.
If you have any questions about this project, contact us on 9840 9333 or at manningham@manningham.vic.gov.au.
FAQs
Why is the drainage being upgraded?
The drainage needs to be upgraded to achieve the following:
- Prevent flooding of properties at Yarra Street and Everard Drive.
- Minimise the impact of nuisance flow through private properties during minor rainfall events.
- Minimise flood hazard risk by reducing large volume of overland flow through private properties.
What are the proposed works and what improvements are expected?
The proposed drainage works will include the following:
- Constructing a new underground pipe drainage system within Everard Drive including several grated side entry pits and junction pits.
- Connecting a new drainage system to the existing pit at the intersection of Yarra Street, Warrandyte.
- Removing trees/vegetation to allow construction. Every effort will be made to reduce the need to remove trees, however it may be unavoidable in some areas.
- Applying various modifications to existing drainage infrastructure including kerb and channel, asphalt footpath and reshaping of the existing driveways.
- Reinstating any disturbed areas, including re-vegetation where possible.
How will construction works affect my street? Will there be disruption to traffic while the works are being undertaken?
During the construction process we may be required to close Everard Drive between Yarra Street and Taroona Avenue to install the drain. Appropriate detour signage and traffic management will be in place to assist with traffic flow and to provide guidance on access to your properties. We will update you when this will occur. Every effort will be made to reduce any inconvenience during the progress of these works.
Works will be programmed to minimise disruption to private properties and maintain emergency access and will generally be undertaken during normal working hours.
How will I be informed about construction disruptions?
Local residents will be informed of disruptions via direct mail. On site signage will also advise of any changes to road access.
Who is the contractor for the project?
The successful contractor for this project is Kalow Holdings Pty Ltd. They're a highly experienced drainage contractor with a long history of similar projects.
Has Council taken any measures to avoid/reduce tree removal?
We’ve taken several steps to reduce the number of trees impacted by the project. This includes:
- Exploring a range of alternative drain alignments to reduce vegetation impact.
- Designing the drainage pipe to be installed under the main road to avoid impacts on tree roots.
- Designing the project so impact on high value trees is minimised.
- Preparing a Tree Management Plan to be implemented during the construction.
Are any trees going to be removed as part of the works?
Yes, the upgrade will require some tree and vegetation removal. The design aims to balance the drainage upgrade needs, while minimising impacts on roadside vegetation and the character of the area. We have worked with our arborists to ensure trees with high significance are retained as part of the upgrade. At the completion of the project, we will replant vegetation and/or trees where possible.
Who will undertake any tree removal?
We will have Specialist Arborist from Council and an experienced Zoological Consultant on site during any removal.
Who can I contact for more information?
Should you require any further information, please contact Manningham’s Project Manager Eman Saadawy on (03) 9840 9333. Alternatively, you can email us at manningham@manningham.vic.gov.au

… our 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 |
| Streets subject to heavy leaf fall during autumn | Monthly |
*This schedule is indicative.
We also respond to urgent sweeping requests such as storm events and traffic incidents.
What if my street needs sweeping?
Contact us for any urgent sweeping requests or potential hazards.

Improving drainage and flood mitigation
We’re undertaking drainage works and upgrades across Manningham to reduce flood risk.
We prioritise drainage works by considering:
- knowledge of local flooding and relative impacts compared with other locations
- the scale of the required works
- asset condition records and maintenance history
- community feedback
- the timing of other proposed works, including roadworks.
Project timeframes may be impacted by various factors like major road projects or large-scale developments across Manningham.
Find out about the latest drainage projects in Manningham.
Flood and stormwater management
We’ve partnered with Melbourne Water to undertake flood mapping for Manningham, to better understand flood risk.
This work will assist flood management by:
- improving understanding of the frequency, severity and location of flood risks within catchments
- assisting Council to better plan and prioritise mitigation activities
- helping to plan for future development
- building community awareness of flood risk
- informing emergency management planning.
The Manningham Flood Mapping Project will also inform the development of Manningham Council’s Integrated Water Management Strategy.
This strategy will review flooding and stormwater management risks and respond to emerging challenges, including:
- population growth
- development pressure
- climate change and associated increasing flood and drought risk.
A new Stormwater Management Strategy for Manningham
We’re developing a Stormwater Management Strategy to help identify, manage and reduce flood risk to people, property, infrastructure and the environment.

We advocate for you
Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter. This is an essential role of local government.
We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
Manningham is the only municipality in metropolitan Melbourne not serviced by either a tram or train. Therefore, our buses are crucial to how our residents move around.
The Doncaster corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) proposal is Council's public transport priority, as it can provide Manningham residents with a direct mass transit public transport connection to the CBD at a cost-effective and shorter timeframe.
Jumping Creek Road in Wonga Park
Jumping Creek Road Wonga Park is in a unique and environmentally sensitive area. The road is being upgraded to improve safety for all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, whilst also protecting our wildlife and vegetation.
The works are expected to cost up to $21 million over the project life. This is a significant burden for the Manningham community, and we seek contributions from all levels of government to enable this project to proceed.
5 Ways intersection
5 Ways is a complex staggered intersection on State controlled arterial roads in Warrandyte South that experiences significant congestion and has a poor safety performance.
This intersection experiences significant congestion and has a poor safety performance, with one serious injury, and five other injury crashes in the past five years.
Other advocacy issues
The North East Link project
The North East Link is Victoria's largest road project. The needs of our community and surrounding environment must be considered, before, during and after construction.
Suburban Rail Loop
We're advocating for a Doncaster Station to be included in the first phase of construction of the Suburban Rail Loop.
Youth mental health
We are seeking increased local access to youth mental health services in Manningham. We support the delivery of a headspace facility to meet demand and create meaningful impacts.
We welcome the announcement of funding for a service and will continue to advocate for local delivery.
Affordable housing
The Eastern Affordable Housing Alliance (EAHA) is a formal collaboration of six councils working to address the housing affordability crisis in Melbourne’s eastern metro region.
Better public transport
We are seeking accelerated funding by State Government for more bus services to meet growing demand and infrastructure improvements to improve the reliability and frequency of the local bus network. Key to this, is larger capacity buses and more services during peak periods to be provided on the Doncaster Area Rapid Transit (DART) SmartBus network.
We are also advocating for the implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connection between the CBD and Doncaster as part of the North East Link Doncaster Busway project.
Doncaster Rail
We will continue to advocate for a heavy rail line between the CBD and Doncaster. We are strongly advocating to ensure that the North East Link project preserves a future alignment for Doncaster Rail, and that the design of the Doncaster Busway is delivered in a manner that allows it to be transitioned to heavy rail, once buses the bus system reaches capacity.
Doncaster Hill public transport infrastructure
Improved transport infrastructure through Doncaster Hill will unlock and complement regional opportunities for improved access to jobs, educational and health facilities and to other community and social services.

What is an accessible parking permit?
Formerly called a disabled parking permit, an Accessible Parking Permit (APP) is for drivers or passengers with a disability. It's also for organisations helping transport people with disabilities.
The Victorian Government introduced the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme to help make a simpler and more consistent process.
All councils across the state will use the same application process. This aligns with the Australian Disability Parking Permit Scheme.
What improvements have been made to the process?
-
temporary permits will be available for six, 12 or 24 month periods
-
permanent permits will be valid for five years rather than three years
-
the introduction of a permanent disability classification, so functional assessments aren’t required for future permit renewals
-
a single and secure state wide permit design that will reduce permit misuse
-
the inclusion of occupational therapists as assessors and GPs
-
permits for organisations will continue to be available for 12 month period.
Which types of permits can you apply for?
There are two types of permits available:
-
Australian disability parking permit (ADP) - allows you to park in:
-
an accessible parking bay for the specified time limit.
-
a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.
-
-
Victorian double time accessible parking permit – allows you to park in:
-
a standard parking bay for twice the time limit specified.
-
A GP or occupational therapist functional assessment will decide on whether to issue a permit and the permit type.
