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

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

Construction specifications for the boulevard in Doncaster Hill
… Find out about design principles and guidelines for Doncaster Hill Doncaster Hill Property and Development … Construction …

A major urban design vision for Doncaster Hill is to develop a strong boulevard character along Doncaster Road, Williamsons Road and Tram Road and active street frontages along Doncaster Road and Williamson Road. Active street frontage areas will be the focal point for vibrant entertainment strips including café and leisure activities focusing on the length of Doncaster Road between Tram Road and the Civic Precinct.

Design principles and guidelines

The boulevard character will be supported by formal tree planting and a well defined built edge, with various pedestrian-generating and retail activities encouraged at street level.

A podium of at least 12 metres height shall be provided along the Boulevard frontages to achieve a consistent scale at street level.

Developments shall provide a uniform 5 metre setback to a podium from their street frontages in support of the boulevard and roadside planting, ceding 2 metres of land to Council ownership.

Vehicle crossings of pedestrian footpaths should be restricted to the minimum necessary to access the site. Pedestrian amenity should be considered a priority in developing appropriate pedestrian and vehicular networks.

Access to sunlight is an important consideration for boulevard areas. It must be demonstrated that the sun can penetrate onto the properties on the south side of Doncaster Boulevard from the building edge to the footpath (and not less than 1.2 metres south of the back of kerb) between 11.30am and 1.30pm at the winter solstice on June 22nd.

Developments shall incorporate high quality, contemporary street furniture and furnishings that contribute to the vibrant character of Doncaster Hill, subject to Council approval.

Boulevard landscape treatment

Landscape treatment of the ceded land and balance of street frontage area (to the back of kerb) shall be in accordance with the standard detail shown below, and carried out by the developer as part of the building development works.

The landscape treatment includes the construction of a 3.6 metre wide paved promenade along both sides of Doncaster Boulevard, Williamsons Road and Tram Road to encourage pedestrian activity, and two staggered avenues of deciduous trees planted at 12-15 metre spacings to the satisfaction of the Responsible

Authority

The promenades are to be reduced to 2.0 metres wide in gateway locations where a transition is required between the 3.6 metre wide path, and existing paths.

The specified species are the ‘Autumn Glory’ Plane tree at 3.5metres off-set from the building, and the ‘Chanticleer’ Pear planted at 1.8 metres from the kerb. Specified species are to be a minimum of 3.5 metres in height at the time of planting.

Basement car parking should be sufficiently set back from the tree alignment to allow for healthy root establishment.

A good quality tree grate (‘Gatic’ 874 x 874) and suitable root barrier are to be installed with each tree.

We will also plant trees where possible in the central road median.

The paving material selected for the Boulevards, side streets and other pedestrian spaces is Quartstone ‘Blue Onyx Honed’ 300 x 300 pavers Headers shall comprise Urbanstone shotblast Terracolour (Code 1563) 298.5 x 298.5 mm pavers.

The pavement is to be laid on a 75mm depth concrete base and nominal 30mm mortar bed. Where the pavement crosses vehicular crossing points, it is to be laid on a 150mm 20Mpa concrete slab ( with F82 centrally placed ) on a 50mm FCR

Class4 subgrade

The 3 metre-wide street frontage areas between the new paved promenade and the front wall of the building will comprise a mix of hard and soft landscape treatment dependant upon the adjoining land use. The street frontage area should not be used for commercial display purposes. Paved areas within the 3 metre strip may incorporate outdoor seating and suitable glazed screens (of a type to be approved by Council) having regard to statutory requirements. Planting, grassed areas and paving works within the frontage areas and side streets should complement the boulevard landscape treatment. Strong architectural plants, either exotic or native, are suitable in these locations.

There may be opportunities to incorporate, integrated artwork within the street frontage area in liaison with the Doncaster Hill Public Art Advisory Committee.

Weather protection shall be provided at important pedestrian nodes along the Boulevards, including pedestrian crossing points.

A standard suite of street furniture including seating, vehicular and pedestrian lighting, rubbish containers, bollards and bicycle hoops will be specified by Council.

Review of the Doncaster Hill Strategy
… Review of the Doncaster Hill Strategy The Doncaster Hill Strategy sets out Council’s existing vision …
Article Content

The Doncaster Hill Strategy sets out Council’s existing vision for Doncaster Hill to establish a contemporary, sustainable, high-density, mixed-use village that enhances the social, environmental, economic and cultural elements of the region.

The current strategy sets out a vision up to 2020 to facilitate the achievement of a range of targets for residential, commercial and retail uses. As it is nearly at the end of its policy cycle, there is a need to ensure that appropriate policy guidance is provided for an activity centre that plays a key role within the context of Manningham’s future growth and change.

Since inception of the strategy, Doncaster Hill has experienced significant land-use change, with the population increasing by 29 per cent between 2001 and 2016. As of 2019, a total of approximately 1,770 apartments have been constructed and permits have been issued for an additional 1,000 apartments. A significant $500M expansion of the Westfield Doncaster regional shopping centre is also being proposed, highlighting the current success of and confidence in the attraction of Doncaster Hill.

Consultants have been engaged to assist Council is preparing a new Doncaster Hill Framework Plan to deliver an urban design vision for Doncaster Hill and guide future use and development that responds to current and future community needs.

We have commenced the review by assessing the performance of the existing Strategy to better understand gaps and opportunities to continue to improve and enhance liveability within Doncaster Hill. 

As part of this process, residents will have their opportunity to provide feedback on the draft new Doncaster Hill Framework Plan.

Doncaster Hill Community Garden

Located on the site of the old Doncaster Kindergarten and Child Health Care Centre, the Doncaster Hill Community Garden is a new way of visualising what a community space can look like.

Comprising of 24 temporary garden beds, the site is more a ‘shared backyard’ rather than your traditional plot garden. There are no fences, locked gates or private plots. The garden is open to all and welcomes anyone with a passion for growing food, meeting neighbours and volunteering.

While most of the produce gets donated to local charities and community food banks, volunteers are able to get involved in a host of fun and interesting activities including pesto making, picnics and gardening skills sessions that make the most out of our produce.  

The garden gets a lot of help from children too, with kids from the local primary school, kindergarten and child care centre all lending a hand to plant, water and tend the garden.

A new urban park for Doncaster Hill
… A new urban park for Doncaster Hill Manningham Council is creating a new urban park in Doncaster Hill and is inviting the community to co-design it. …
Article Content

Manningham Council is creating a new urban park in Doncaster Hill and is inviting the community to co-design it.

The park, to be known as Hepburn Reserve, was identified as an important community initiative in the Doncaster Hill Strategy 2002 (revised 2004) and will provide additional open space to everyone living, working or visiting the Doncaster Hill area.

The new park will be located on Hepburn Road in Doncaster, between Walker Street and Gifford Street where Council have acquired several properties to make way for the new space.
The community is invited to share their ideas for the new park and can do so by completing an online survey or by attending a community park design event on Saturday 16 November 2019.

The community park design event will include free entertainment for the whole family such as coffee, face painting, a lemonade cart, drawing activities and games for the kids.

Manningham Mayor, Cr Paul McLeish, said he is very excited about the creation of a new park in Doncaster Hill and is looking forward to seeing the enduring benefits of this project in the community. “Open space is so valuable in our community, and for residents living nearby the addition of a new park in Doncaster Hill will be welcome news.

To make this park great we’re asking residents to give us their big ideas on playspaces, trees, vegetation and more. This is the communities chance to tell us what they’d love to see in their new local park.”

We’re making a series of upgrades throughout Doncaster Hill - designed 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. 

Open space upgrades for Doncaster Hill

 

Designing for a new park in Doncaster Hill

July 2020 to July 2021

We are currently in the detailed design phase with demolition and construction to commence in the second half of 2021.
This park will provide additional open space to everyone living in the Doncaster Hill area.
To be located on Hepburn Road in Doncaster, properties have been acquired to make way for the new community park.

 

Walker Reserve has been upgraded

November 2019 to December 2019

Walker Reserve received an upgrade including a new path, bench, trees and vegetation on site.
A new spring balance toy was installed for children to enjoy.
The upgrades are designed to make the park more accessible and enjoyable for the local community.

Making Tram Road safer for our community

 

Investigating a new U-turn lane on Tram Road

Investigating a new U-turn lane to be built on Tram Road to provide motorists with a safe and legal location to perform U-turns. The new lane would also help to reduce the number of illegal U-turns being performed outside of the Applewood Retirement Village.

 

Pedestrian signals at the Applewood Retirement Village

The Federal Government has committed to funding new pedestrian signals on Tram Road outside of the Applewood Retirement Village in Doncaster. The new signals will help residents to safely cross Tram Road and access the adjacent bus stop.

The Victorian Department of Transport is managing this project and responsible for the timing of its delivery. We support this project to improve safety and access for pedestrians on Tram Road.

Creating more connections through local streets

 

Extension to Hepburn Road including a shared path

Hepburn Road has been extended from Walker Street to create a connection through to Clay Drive. Due to Covid restrictions, we are still finalising the shared path connections for pedestrians and cyclists but the road is now open to commuters. These improvements will enable easy access for local residents wanting to enjoy the new community park on Hepburn Road.

 

New traffic lights at the Tram Road and Merlin Street intersection

New traffic lights will be installed at the intersection of Tram Road and Merlin Street.

These lights will assist traffic flow through the southern area of Doncaster Hill, help residents to easily access Tram Road and create a safer road environment for all users.

Oliver married Alice Rose Knee on 17 September 1919 and the couple had three children. Oliver died on 11 September 1965 aged 71. He received the British War Medal and Victory Medal for his service during World War I.

Private Fredrick Carl Zerbe (service number 4924)

Fredrick Zerbe was born on 10 October 1894 in Doncaster to Fredrick Carl Zerbe and Marie Eliza Aumann. 

Fredrick worked as an orchardist before enlisting on 8 November 1916 at age 21. He joined the 8th Infantry Battalion in France, was wounded in action with a gunshot injury to his left arm on 11 February 1917 and returned home on 6 November 1919. 

Fredrick married Ada Emma Spackman the same year and they had one child. He died in a car accident on 12 June 1936, aged 41. Fredrick received the British War Medal and Victory Medal for his service during World War I.

Private Edward Herman Zerbe (service number 2453)

Edward Herman Zerbe was born on 15 January 1891 in Doncaster to Johan August Zerbe and Augusta Bertha Fuhrman. 

He worked as an orchardist before enlisting on 12 May 1915 at the age of 24. Edward was assigned to the 5th Reinforcements of the 21st Infantry Battalion and after training in Egypt, moved to France to serve on the Western Front.

Edward was hospitalised for fever on 16 November 1918 that developed into bronchopneumonia (possibly Spanish flu) and was transferred to England to recover. An examining doctor noted he “looks depressed and nervy. Tremulous and sweaty hands”, suggesting that he may have been suffering from delayed shellshock.

Edward returned to Australia on 31 March 1919 and the following year, married Elizabeth Winifred Lawford on 25 September in Doncaster. The couple had three children.

Edward died on 5 April 1957, aged 65. He received the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal for his service during World War I.

Have your say on Doncaster Hill planning scheme amendment and permit
… Have your say on Doncaster Hill planning scheme amendment and permit Manningham Council … permit application PLN20/0303 for land at 674 to 680 Doncaster Road, 2 Short Street and 14, 14A, 16 and 18 Hepburn …
Article Content

Manningham Council is announcing the commencement of the public exhibition of a planning scheme amendment C127mann and concurrent planning permit application PLN20/0303 for land at 674 to 680 Doncaster Road, 2 Short Street and 14, 14A, 16 and 18 Hepburn Road in Doncaster.

The exhibition period will be from Thursday 10 June to Monday 12 July 2021.

The amendment request and planning permit application has been made by Hollerich Town Planning Pty Ltd on behalf of the landowner, The Properties Corporation of the Churches of Christ to facilitate the future development of the site.

The request proposes the partial demolition of the existing heritage listed church, the construction of a 17-storey mixed-use development comprising 177 dwellings, a place of assembly, child care centre, two food and drink premises, offices, a reduction in the standard car parking requirements and to alter the access arrangements to a road in a Road Zone, Category 1. Ten of the dwellings within the development are also proposed for affordable housing.

If Planning Permit Application PLN20/0303 is approved, a Section 173 Agreement will secure the provision of ten affordable housing dwellings within the development. Manningham Council will welcome submissions from any person who may be affected by Amendment C127mann, Planning Permit Application PLN20/0303, or the draft Section 173 Agreement.

Manningham Mayor, Cr Andrew Conlon said that consultation on planning within Manningham is crucial to understand what our community cares about.

“Good community engagement is helping people have a say on any Council decision that impacts them. Please make a submission on this planning scheme amendment or permit for a mixed use building if you have anything you’d like to contribute.”

All documentation including supporting technical reports are available for viewing online at: yoursay.manningham.vic.gov.au/amendment-c127mann.

All residents and interested parties have an opportunity to lodge  submissions. Council will consider all submissions at a future Council meeting as part of the amendment process.  

Submissions must be made in writing to Manager Integrated Planning, Manningham City Council, PO Box 1, Doncaster, 3108 or via Council’s Your Say Manningham website: yoursay.manningham.vic.gov.au/amendment-c127mann

Council resolved to place the proposed Amendment C127mann and Planning Permit Application PLN20/0303, and draft Section 173 Agreement on public exhibition at its Council Meeting on Tuesday 23 February 2021.

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.

Congestion on the Eastern Freeway

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.
