North East Link
… North East Link Find out what we're advocating for with the North East Link Project. The State Government has now …

The State Government has now commenced works for the North East Link Program (NELP).

For NELP and construction information and updates, call 1800 105 105 or visit bigbuild.vic.gov.au/projects/north-east-link-program


The project will include construction of the North East Link Tunnels, which will connect the Metropolitan ring road (M80) and Eastern Freeway (M3), as well as:

  • the completion of the Ring Road in Greensborough 
  • an overhaul the Eastern Freeway
  • Melbourne’s first dedicated busway
  • the North East Trail – more than 34km of walking and cycling paths.

North East Link is split into five construction packages, with the following three located in Manningham:

  • Central/tunnels
  • South
  • East

Council is continuing to work diligently alongside North East Link Program and State Government on all aspects of the project. 

We’re committed to representing community interests with the aim of mitigating impacts, as far practicable, to the community.

Sports and recreation

Bulleen Park

Bulleen Park

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bulleen Park is being upgraded to support sporting clubs during the construction of North East Link. 

Future redevelopment of Bulleen Park will allow for continued use of the sporting and recreation facilities during the delivery and following the completion of the North East Link Program (NELP).

The redevelopment will result in a major upgrade to the football (AFL) and cricket facilities and include:

  • two new replacement pavilions
  • realignment and redevelopment of the three existing sports ovals
  • upgrades to sports field lighting, cricket nets, and fencing
  • planting of new trees and vegetation
  • upgrading playground equipment and park amenities
  • reconfigured car parking.

The project is expected to be completed by 2028. During this period, NELP will continue to provide user groups with construction updates to keep the community informed of progress and milestones.

Powerful Owl Park

Soccer field at Powerful Owl Park, Bulleen

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.

The new sporting facility will include:

  • three soccer fields (two natural turf and one synthetic pitch)
  • a sports pavilion with tiered seating and player change rooms, umpire and first aid amenities
  •  176 car park spaces
  • a nature play area; and,
  • walking and cycling connections to the Yarra River.

We worked diligently alongside North East Link Program and the State Government for a commitment to deliver the facility and to ensure community impacts are minimised by changes at Bulleen Park.

Powerful Owl Park FAQs, July 2024

Park and Ride

Doncaster Park and Ride

Doncaster Park and Ride will be upgraded as part of NELP. We are advocating that the Doncaster Busway (including the Bulleen Park and Ride) be designed to operate and function as part of a network-wide Bus Rapid Transit system. This is beyond the busway corridor that is proposed along the Eastern Freeway between Hoddle Street and Doncaster Road.

We are also advocating for the State Government and NELP to amend the NELP Doncaster Park and Ride reference design to a mixed-use transit-oriented development. 

At this stage the State Government has only committed to a like for like upgrade, which will result in the reconstruction of the Park and Ride to be retained as a carpark only.

 

Doncaster Park and Ride, Transit-oriented development advocacy factsheet

 

Bulleen Park and Ride

Bulleen Park and Ride is now open. The new bus station on the corner of Thompsons Road and Kampman Street in Bulleen is the first part of the Eastern Express Busway – Melbourne's first dedicated busway from Doncaster towards the city and features:

  • parking for 370 cars 
  • bike storage
  • pick-up and drop-off bays
  • a 5000 square metre green roof.

 

Public Transport Victoria, Bulleen Park and Ride

 

Templestowe Road 

We have successfully negotiated for the Victorian Government to commence detailed planning work and a business case for the duplication and upgrade of Templestowe Road (from Bridge Street to Thompsons Road). This will include shared pedestrian and bike paths along the north side.

 

Templestowe Road duplication advocacy factsheet

 

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.

 

North East Link Program's tree 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.

Private Ethelbert Crouch (service number 4159)

Ethelbert Crouch was born in 1886 in Doncaster to Henry William and Hert Amelia Crouch. He went to Doncaster State School and attended the Holy Trinity Sunday School and Youth Group. 

Ethelbert enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on 22 July 1915 and just over six months later, left for Cairo in Egypt on board His Majesty’s Australian Transport (HMAT) Demosthenes. In March the next year he came down with bronchitis and was hospitalised for two weeks before joining his unit as part of the 6th Battalion in France on 15 May 1916. 

Ethelbert suffered wounds to his head, chest and hands on 5 October 1917 and spent the rest of the year recovering in various English hospitals, with “loss of sight resulting from wounds” and a traumatic cataract in his right eye. Recommended for the Distinguished Conduct Medal, he left for home on the hospital ship, Osterley, and was discharged on 25 June 1918. 

Ethelbert married Victoria Lillian Petty and they raised a family on their orchard in Woodhouse Street, Doncaster East. He died in 1987 at the age of 101.

Private John Downing (service number 1592)

John William Downing was born in 1894 in Elsternwick to William Henry Hambling and Mary Ann Downing. He had two other siblings. In 1917 the family were living in Hunt Street, Doncaster East. After leaving school John trained as an engine fitter.

John enlisted on 5 February 1917 and left from Sydney on board His Majesty’s Australian Transport (HMAT) Marathon on 10 May 1917. He was attached to the Australian Flying Corps based at Farnborough Training Depot in England. He qualified as a First Class Air Mechanic on 1 November 1917 and was based in England at the AFC Training Depot in Wendover. He was discharged on 16 June 1919 after returning to Australia on HMAT Kaiser-I-hind. 

John also served during World War II and was known to be living in Queensland in 1959.

Private Stanley Crouch (service number 796)

Stanley Crouch was born in 1892 in Doncaster. His parents were Henry and Marion Crouch. He was educated at Doncaster State School and attended Sunday School and Youth Group at Holy Trinity Doncaster. After leaving school he worked on the family orchard.

Stanley enlisted on 7 July 1915 and left Melbourne on 10 November 1915 on board His Majesty’s Australian Transport (HMAT) Ascanius for France. As part of the 29th Battalion, C Company, he was wounded on 28 August 1916 but remained on duty. He was again wounded in action by gunshot to the chest and transferred to England for treatment at the Horton War Hospital, Epsom. He returned home on 4 May 1917 on the hospital ship, Miltiades, and was discharged from the army on 13 August 1917.

Stanley returned to Doncaster to work as an orchardist. He married Agnes Elizabeth Bienvenu of Leeds Street, Doncaster and died in 1975, aged 82.

Private Norman Adam Crossman (service number 2082)

Norman Crossman was born on 22 November 1894 to Charles and Sarah Crossman. He was educated at Doncaster State School and joined in all the activities of the youth group at Holy Trinity Sunday School. 

Norman enlisted on 17 July 1915, initially serving with the Senior Cadets and training with the Citizen Forces at Box Hill. He married Phyllis Diamond just before leaving for England on His Majesty’s Australian Transport (HMAT) Persic on 22 December 1916. He served as a driver in the headquarters of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) Depot in England where he was also trained as a gunner. 

Norman was sent to France as a driver on 3 November 1917 and was injured in his left leg on 15 October 1918. After initial treatment in Rouen Hospital, on 17 October he was transferred to the Bath War Hospital in England then returned to Melbourne on the hospital ship, Orantes, arriving on 30 January 1919. After his discharge from the army, Norman and Phyllis lived in South Geelong.

Sergeant Richard Harold Clay (service number 2957)

Richard Harold Clay was born on the 10 February 1894, to Richard and Mary Clay who were orchardists in the region. He was always called Harold to avoid confusion with his father Richard. Harold was a popular and active member of the Holy Trinity youth group, and a bass singer in the church choir.

Harold enlisted for military service on 6 July 1915, leaving Melbourne on the Empress of Britain and arriving in Alexandria, Egypt, on 7 January 1916. As a member of the 14th Field Artillery Brigade in the 8th Battalion, he was involved in action at Alexandria, Serapeum and Tel-el-Kebir and quickly promoted to the rank of Sergeant. 

Harold was severely wounded on 31 July 1917 at Ypres in Belgium and died on 4 August 1917, unaware that his mother had died in Doncaster only two weeks earlier. He was 23 years old.

Army records use the name Harold Richard Clay and it was not until forms were sent to the next of kin for the Roll of Honour at the Australian War Memorial that the error was discovered and corrected.

Harold is buried at the Brandhoek New Military Cemetery, Belgium, and his name is on the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, and the Doncaster War Memorial.

History of the Doncaster East Avenue of Honour

The Doncaster East Avenue of Honour was first planted in around 1920 by the pupils of East Doncaster State School.

It was planted to honour the past pupils, relatives and friends who served in the Great War of 1914-18.

The original Avenue of Honour for Doncaster East was a row of Mahogany Gums planted along Blackburn Road. It began near May Street and continued past the school to Saxonwood Drive.

By the 1970s an extra lane was needed along Blackburn Road due to increased traffic, and the Mahogany Gums were removed. To replace these trees, a new Avenue of Honour was planted along Saxonwood Drive in 1975 using Queensland Brush Box.

Commemorating fallen soldiers after the war

After The Great War ended, war memorials and honour boards were created throughout Victoria. The honour board for this Avenue of Honour is located within the RSL Doncaster Sub-Branch.

Planting Avenues of Honour captured the imaginations of Victorians.

  • These avenues existed almost nowhere else in the world apart from Australia
  • Over half of the 547 known avenues are located in Victoria

Planting trees gave grieving families and communities tangible memorials to loved ones. With their actual graves out of reach on the other side of the world, each tree represented a fallen soldier.

You can contemplate their sacrifice as you walk along Saxonwood Drive, where their names are laid out next to the path.

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 suburbs

Each suburb in Manningham has its own unique characteristics and are wonderful places to live and visit.

""

Bulleen

Bulleen's name is from Bolin Bolin, a Wurundjeri name for a nearby billabong on the Yarra. Dairy farms dominated the area until the 1930s. It remained a rural district until the post war era with a lack of public transport and difficult river crossings delaying development.

Residential subdivision and development gained momentum in the 1950s.

Doncaster

Doncaster's name comes from John Robert Wilson, who opened the Doncaster Arms Inn in 1854 on his way to the Warrandyte gold diggings. Wilson named the inn after his English hometown, Doncaster.

A number of settlements started along the Koonung Creek in the 1850s and the early settlers made a living from timber, but as time passed orcharding became the major local industry.

The Doncaster Shire came into being in 1890.

The area gained a reputation as one of Victoria's best fruit producers and remained a thriving local industry until after WWII. The orchards were progressively subdivided for residential development from the 50s.

Doncaster East

Development in Doncaster East began on the southern part of the suburb in the 1950s and continued into the 1980s. Doncaster East is now an established residential area with a stable population.

Valepark Reserve, Donvale

Donvale and Nunawading

Development in Donvale and Nunawading began in the 1950s. Low density development continued into the 1980s. Both Donvale and Nunawading are now well established residential areas with growing populations.

Fun at the Park Orchards Community House

Park Orchards and Ringwood North

Development of the Park Orchards area began in 1925 when a portion of one of Tom Petty's orchards known as 'the park' became a country club estate after subdivision. Saxil Tuxen, a protégé of Walter Burley Griffin, designed the subdivision drawing inspiration from Griffin's Ranelagh Estate in Mount Eliza.

Pop up Dining set up for Templestowe Village

Templestowe

In the 1850s, Templestowe was as a village on the Yarra on the route to the Warrandyte gold fields. It’s one of the oldest areas of settlement in Manningham. The village remained a relatively small settlement well into the 20th century, with the area outside the town remaining as orchards.

The name Templestowe comes from a mythical place in Sir Walter Scott's novel Ivanhoe.

Templestowe Lower

The development of Lower Templestowe preceded that of greater Templestowe. The area is predominantly a post-war suburb with substantial development occurring in the 1950s and 1960s.

Warrandyte and Warrandyte South

Warrandyte is one of the original villages of Manningham. It’s believed that the name Warrandyte is a combination of the Wurundjeri Aboriginal words warran (to throw) and dyte (the object aimed at).

Development began in Warrandyte after the first discovery of gold in Victoria in 1851. Commercial gold mining was undertaken by a number of companies throughout the latter half of the 19th century without the success of the Ballarat and Bendigo diggings.

Located on the beautiful Yarra River, Warrandyte is a thriving residential area and tourist and arts destination. Warrandyte South remains a semi-rural area.

Wonga Park

Wonga Park's name comes from the Wonga Park grazing property. The owner of the property, Simon Wonga was also an elder of the Wurundjeri people.

The area was a mixture of orchards, grazing properties and timbered land. It was part of Mooroolbark until the late 1880s when the property came into the hands of an insurance company and other holdings. The land was then sold by the Wonga Park Land Co.

Four years later when small settlements were a way of relieving unemployment after the failure of the land boom, about 20 members of an Eight Hours Pioneer Memorial Association took up small holdings on a former timber reserve.

Development of the township and surrounds was relatively slow until the 1980s after the release of a number of rural and residential subdivisions.

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

Marcus Reserve is close to Bulleen Heights Primary School and Marcus Road is part of a proposed on road bicycle north- south link between Bulleen and Templestowe Lower.  

A Council drain runs through the Reserve and with its flat and attractive topography, the Reserve serves its function as ‘green’ open space in a residential area.  There are three playgrounds in this locality within a 300 metre radius.

Doncaster Hill
… of the Victorian Government's proposed underground rail link to connect suburbs between Cheltenham and Doncaster. … Build Doncaster Rail along the Eastern Freeway That the  North East Link project  preserve a future alignment for Doncaster …

Doncaster Hill is a sustainable, high density, mixed-use village that provides for high quality urban living.

Located in the heart of Doncaster, Victoria, approximately 12kms from Melbourne's Central Business District.

An activity centre for our community.

  • One of the highest points in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
  • Panoramic views of the Dandenongs, Kinglake and the city's skyline.
  • A 58 hectare area stretching along the major corridors of Doncaster Road, Williamsons Road and Tram Road.

What's happening now?

We’re continuing to update Doncaster Hill to improve the way our community lives, works and enjoys this neighbourhood.

These works form a part of our infrastructure planning for this area and the long standing Doncaster Hill Strategy.

  1. A new park for Doncaster Hill

    The concept design for Hepburn Reserve has been developed in response to community feedback and will include outdoor seating, a BBQ area, a drinking fountain, public art, large open lawn areas, a playspace, nature play, canopy tree planting, bike hoops and more.

  2. Walker reserve upgrade

    This small local open space was upgraded in November 2019 to December 2020

  3. New U-turn lane on Tram Road

  4. Pedestrian signals at the Applewood Retirement Village

  5. Extension to Hepburn Road

  6. Tram Road and Merlin Street intersection traffic lights

What shapes Doncaster Hill?

With populations on the rise in Melbourne, Doncaster Hill is one of our solutions to meet the challenge of future housing needs. This modern urban village allows those of us who enjoy to live in the suburbs to continue to do so, whilst providing apartment-style living for others.

The Doncaster Hill Strategy helps guide us on the land use and development in this centre.

Suburban Rail Loop

That Doncaster station be built in the first stage of construction of the Victorian Government's proposed underground rail link to connect suburbs between Cheltenham and Doncaster.

Congestion on the Eastern Freeway
Build Doncaster Rail along the Eastern Freeway

That the North East Link project preserve a future alignment for Doncaster Rail, and the design of the Doncaster Busway is delivered in a manner that allows it to be transitioned to heavy rail, once the bus system reaches capacity.

Extend Tram route 48 to Doncaster Hill
