Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter.
We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.
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.
We're advocating for a Doncaster Station to be included in the first phase of construction of the Suburban Rail Loop.
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.
We are seeking additional stimulus funding to registered housing services to work in partnerships with other councils to support vulnerable residents, particularly those with a disability.
5 Ways has been the site of a number vehicle crashes and incidents. We are concerned about the ongoing safety issues associated with this intersection and continue to urge DoT to undertake improvements.
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.
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.
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.

We’re continuing to advocate for the best outcome for our community in regards to the North East Link (NEL) project.
In February, Council unanimously agreed to seek a judicial review into the Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) Environment Effects Statement (EES) hearing process and the Minister’s assessment of the EES. The Directions Hearing for the Supreme Court challenge is scheduled for 24 April, and the Supreme Court hearing will be later in the year.
Irrespective of this, we will continue to work constructively with NELP and the State Government to ensure the interest of our community remains at the forefront of any discussions.
NEL early works are being delivered by PCB Contractors with underground works and site investigations such as borehole drilling to occur throughout the proposed alignment. Residents may notice access pits and launch shafts in the Bulleen area. Any concerns about early works should be directed to NELP by contacting their hotline on 1800 105 105.
In late 2020, the contractor for the construction of the North East Link will be announced. We will work with this contractor to help influence the final design and advocate for the commitments we have asked for to offset the impacts of the project.
Construction of the new tunnels is expected to commence in 2021 and works to the Eastern Freeway are anticipated to start from 2023.
Find out more and stay up to date on our advocacy work.

Manningham Council has reached an agreement with the Victorian Government and the North East Link Project (NELP) and has withdrawn from the judicial review process.
Following constructive, rigorous negotiations, our concerns around the North East Link (NEL) reference design have been substantially addressed.
We commenced legal action because we believed the reference design did not provide enough certainty about the impacts it had on our community.
With a signed agreement from NELP now in place, we will have more input into the process and will be meaningfully consulted on the works and designs, and so we are satisfied that the concerns of our community have been listened to.
By participating in the judicial review process and as a result of our strong community advocacy, we have been able to negotiate key outcomes and significant projects for the benefit of our community including:
We are finalising the legal process and more information will be forthcoming.
The North East Link Project will soon start tunnelling activities at Trinity Grammar School’s Marles Playing Fields in Bulleen.
CPB Contractors will start tunnelling activities at the playing fields from Wednesday 24 February 2021 to support construction of the Yarra East Main Sewer (YEMS).

The Planning Minister’s assessment of the North East Link (NEL) Environment Effects Statement (EES) is not clear about how the project will manage the impacts imposed on Bulleen Park.
The design of the NEL project at Bulleen Park impacts seven hectares of community parkland. Several options have been put forward by the North East Link Project (NELP) to reconfigure the area and accommodate its users.
“We acknowledge the Planning Minister wants the surrounding stakeholders to negotiate a reasonable outcome for Bulleen Park and he clearly supported the development of new parklands along Templestowe Road to replace lost facilities,” said Cr Paul McLeish, Manningham Mayor.
“Unfortunately Minister Wynne’s decision last week failed to determine the way forward on Bulleen Park.
“Our preference is Option 4 in the EES which seeks to protect the existing ovals, aeromodellors and archery land and clubs, retains the golf course within its existing footprint and replaces lost soccer facilities.
“Our core objective is to preserve and protect valuable community open space and parkland from being consumed by the expansion of the Freeway Golf Course.
“We are also encouraged the Planning Minister has recommended protecting open space for future use. We will continue to pursue this this through the Bulleen Land use Framework Plan,” Cr McLeish said.
Council tabled a closing submission at the Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) Panel Hearings regarding land use at Bulleen Park. Council’s primary position is the design of the project at Bulleen Road needs to be reconsidered to avoid impacts on Bulleen Park and other nearby land uses.
Manningham is committed to ensuring Bulleen Park’s aero modelling and archery clubs are not displaced as a result of the expansion of a golf course. The nearest alternative aero modelling club is located 23 kilometres away from Bulleen Park and the closest archery club offers facilities that only operate on weekends, as opposed to the clubs’ current operations at seven days a week.
“We will continue to work with relevant stakeholders and our neighbouring Councils to advocate that Bulleen Park remains an open space for all the community to enjoy,” Cr McLeish said.
The North East Link project (NELP) will lead a feasibility study of Council owned land at 2 – 14 Websters Road Templestowe to determine the site’s suitability as a future employment precinct.
The Websters Road location is being considered as a potential site to offset the loss of land at the Bulleen Industrial Precinct as a result of the NELP.
“The North East Link will displace 96 of 110 businesses at the Bulleen Industrial Precinct and significantly impact the economic and social wellbeing of our community”, Manningham Mayor, Cr Paul McLeish said.
“Finding local relocation opportunities for Bulleen Industrial Precinct (BIP) businesses has been a major priority for Council. A number of affected businesses have expressed a desire to relocate within our local area.”
The 4.5 hectare site at Websters Road is a Council compound situated within an existing employment precinct. An independent Employment Lands Study identified the site as a suitable alternative location - pending further investigations, economic assessments and community consultation.
The site is located outside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and zoned Public Use Zone, requiring changes to the existing Victorian planning policies and the Planning and Environment (Metropolitan Green Wedge Protection) Act 2003.
“To maximise the scope for successful relocation of businesses, Manningham supports this preliminary step to investigate the rezoning of council owned land at Websters Road, Templestowe for its potential redevelopment for employment use.
“We requested that the Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, consider this proposal when assessing the panel report on the North East Link Environmental Effects Statement. We want to see impacted businesses relocate with minimal disruption.”
The feasibility study will include detailed investigations as part of a comprehensive planning and development assessment. NELP and Council will undertake community consultation to seek feedback from surrounding residents, businesses and stakeholders.
“Once the NEL project is complete, remaining land at the Bulleen Industrial Precinct must be reinstated as an employment precinct, to provide ongoing local jobs and to support our local economy,” Cr McLeish said.
Statement from Mayor Cr Paula Piccinini
Manningham Council is actively working with the North East Link Project (NELP) authority to ensure that any impacted sporting ovals are offset within Manningham, and so there is minimal impact to the operations of clubs affected by the project.
Interim arrangements are currently being worked through with the Yarra Junior Football League (YJFL), NELP and neighbouring Councils to find a suitable home for the club during construction of the North East Link (NEL) project.
Council’s preference is to retain Bulleen Park for use by AFL and Cricket once construction on the NEL project has finalised.

Manningham Council is reviewing the Planning Minister’s response to the Inquiry and Advisory Committee’s (IAC Panel) assessment of the Environment Effects Statement (EES) for the North East Link project, both released today.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Paul McLeish said Council had been working since 2017 to advocate for the best outcome for the community in regards to Victoria’s largest ever road project.
“In November 2017, the Victorian Government decided on ‘Option A’ through Bulleen. We’ve made a major commitment of resources on behalf of our community to present to both the Government and the IAC our many concerns with the significant impacts of this project.
“The Planning Minister’s report and the Panel’s assessment provides more detail on the way forward for our residents and businesses. We are currently reviewing these detailed documents to determine how our advocacy requests have been addressed. We will provide a comprehensive update on how this will impact Manningham shortly,” Cr McLeish said.
Manningham will be one of the most impacted municipalities with seven years of construction, acquisition of homes and businesses and the loss of over 1,200 jobs from the Bulleen industrial precinct.
Detailed legal submissions were presented by Council’s legal team at the Inquiry and Advisory Committee Panel Hearings throughout July to September 2019. During this process, Council strongly advocated for the following outcomes:
Statement from Mayor Cr Paula Piccinini
One of the most devastating impacts of the North East Link project is the proposed loss of the Bulleen Industrial Precinct. Some of these businesses have been serving our local community for over 40 years and there are over 1000 people who stand to lose their jobs.
Manningham Council is working hard to advocate for impacted businesses and we want to ensure the best outcome for both businesses and their employees, with no net loss to the business community and new employment opportunities within Manningham. Council is in the process of preparing an EES Submission and the impacts to the Bulleen Industrial Precinct is a major focus.
Councillors and officers regularly meet with traders and business representatives to listen to their concerns and offer support. Council officers also attend the Bulleen Industrial Zone Liaison Group meetings and Community Liaison Group meetings to advocate on behalf of our business community.
The loss of Bulleen Industrial Precinct will cause significant social and economic impacts to our community. The precinct is our largest light industry zone and while we have investigated other possible sites within our municipality they are not suitable.
Manningham Council estimates the local economy could lose up to $312 million annually and over 1000 local jobs if businesses are unable to relocate within our region. To reduce this impact we’re working with the North East Link Project to identify suitable alternative local employment sites in Manningham. Council is particularly concerned about the social impact on employees of these businesses. A large number of employees in this precinct are in a vulnerable positon when it comes to reemployment opportunities and have experienced extended periods of unemployment in the past.
We call on the Victorian Government to ensure impacted businesses in the Bulleen Industrial Precinct are treated respectfully and fairly. The process of any land acquisition and compensation must be conducted in a timely fashion, to give businesses the certainty they need now so they can plan for the future.
Fair compensation for the Bulleen Industrial Precinct businesses is about more than just a dollar figure. Council wants to see the state government provide support for displaced businesses to re-establish within our community and we want to see the state government commit to a comprehensive and long term transition plan to assist businesses and their employees.

Manningham Council has welcomed the proposed Doncaster Rail Station as part of the Victorian Government’s Suburban Rail Loop.
The Suburban Rail Loop is a proposed underground orbital rail link that will connect Melbourne’s middle suburbs from Cheltenham all the way through to Werribee.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Paula Piccinini said a Doncaster Station would deliver a crucial public transport link to the municipality that is currently only serviced by buses.
“We hope the Andrews Government will reconsider the proposed staging to ensure Doncaster Station is included in the first phase of construction of the Suburban Rail Loop.”
“The Doncaster Station will provide a critical rail connection to surrounding suburbs and the CBD, reducing traffic gridlock and delivering a sustainable transport option for Manningham.
“We recognise 125,000 people in Manningham will benefit from a Doncaster Railway Station. Currently their only public transport option is the over-crowded bus network that is often delayed by traffic congestion.
“A heavy rail public transport connection to Doncaster will provide important links to employment, health and universities in Melbourne’s south-east, where many of our residents work and study.
“With Doncaster Hill continuing to grow, we recommend a site for the Doncaster Station is snapped up now, while the land it is still available.
“We have been working with stakeholders to determine suitable locations for the underground Doncaster Hill train station.
“We’re keen to continue to work with the Victorian Government to secure a site for a future Doncaster Station” Cr Piccinini said.
Car ownership per household in Manningham is considerably high. Residents have a lower rate of public transport use for daily travel for employment purposes than the metropolitan average. This is a result of Manningham being the only municipality in Metropolitan Melbourne without a tram or heavy rain line.
“We have long supported the need for a heavy rail line to Manningham. We want less roads and more public transport solutions for Manningham,” Cr Piccinini said.
Council has reviewed the Planning Minister’s response to the North East Link Environment Effects Statement to determine the full impacts on Manningham.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Paul McLeish said many of Council’s advocacy requests and legal arguments appear to have been supported and addressed in part, but some remained unclear.
“We are pleased the Planning Minister requested an additional Environmental Performance Requirement (EPR) with an employment assistance strategy for employees and businesses in the Bulleen Industrial Precinct. This is an important step in supporting impacted people in preparing for the future changes.
“The significance of the historic Bulleen River Red Gum to our local community has been acknowledged with the Planning Minister including a draft EPR and suggesting every effort be made to retain the tree.
“However a greater level of clarity is required from the North East Link Project Authority (NELP) and the Department of Transport as to what will and won’t be included in the project, and we need certainty that community projects will be delivered.
“We want to know the full impacts to our community and will continue to seek these details so we can determine our next steps. We will continue to advocate for the best outcome for our community,” Cr McLeish said.
An overview of Council’s advocacy requests and the Planning Minister’s response is provided in the following table. It is understood some of the below matters will be confirmed once the project proceeds to the detailed design phase. This is expected to occur throughout 2020 and 2021, once the shortlisted tenderers are confirmed.
| What Council advocated for: | The Planning Minister: |
| Support for the Bulleen Industrial Precinct businesses & employees |
wants additional draft EPRs to provide employees assistance strategy. Supported study to investigate Websters Road as future industrial land |
| Protection of the historic River Red Gum in Bulleen | said every effort should be made to retain the River Red Gum |
| A redesign of the proposed Manningham Road interchange | has no objection to Council’s expert witness redesigns being passed to construction tenderers |
| Community parkland at Bulleen Park to be preserved & protected | said parties need to collaborate & make compromises on Bulleen Park |
| A leaner Eastern Freeway widening design contained within the existing Freeway reservation | said road widening should to be reviewed at critical locations |
| Visually appealing noise walls & protection from construction impacts | supported night time noise limit & raised concerns noise guidelines not updated by Dept Transport. May request EPA to review |
| Minimal loss of open space at Bulleen Park & impacted sporting clubs re-accommodated | recommended open space relocation & replacement plan. Supported unlocking Public Acquisition Overlay & land along the Yarra River Corridor for alternative parkland options |
| Support for the Doncaster Busway, with priority bus services & provision for a rail link | said improvements to public transport are worthwhile & warranted but not required as part of this project |
| Minimal loss of trees & vegetation along the entire alignment | said planting should be started early rather than later. Will be managed by DELWP offsets |
| Avoiding any further undergrounding of the Koonung Creek | considers changes to the Koonung Creek channels are minimal and acceptable |
| Complementary projects pedestrian/cycling bridge across the Yarra River funded and delivered | said NELP complementary active transport options are satisfactory |
Manningham Council is pleased to provide more detail on the negotiated outcomes that led to the withdrawal from the judicial review process.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Paul McLeish said Council advocated strongly to minimise the impacts on the community and improve consultation by working constructively with the Victorian Government.
“We negotiated in good faith with the Victorian Government and the North East Link Project (NELP) to the point where many of our concerns have been addressed.
“We have more certainty following an agreement from NELP that we will have more input into the process and will be meaningfully consulted on the works and designs.
“The uncertainty around the reference design has now been addressed as we will meet with the construction contractor and have enhanced avenues to provide feedback to the Planning Minister prior to the works being delivered.
“Once the construction contractor has been appointed, we will be briefed and given an opportunity to comment on the ultimate design.
“This means we will have more active engagement opportunities to review and comment on relevant matters that impact our community and environment.
“This agreement goes above and beyond the normal consultation requirements of any of the conditions of the project approval and will benefit those residents most impacted along with the whole community.
“We protected open space at Bulleen Park with no expansion of the golf course into Bulleen Park. The archery and aero-modellers clubs will remain at Bulleen Park and continue to enjoy all their sport and social connections,” he said.
Cr McLeish said the judicial review process was a necessary investment to ensure the best outcome for the community and environment.
“We commenced legal action because we believed the reference design didn’t provide enough certainty. We now have many more answers and this agreement provides a greater level of clarity and ability to influence the final design.
“However, we acknowledge the NEL will still have significant impacts, with seven years of construction and the widening of the Eastern Freeway. With a project of this size not all our concerns could be alleviated through this process and we will continue to work with the North East Link Project to minimise impacts and improve amenity.
“We worked hard to find a suitable relocation site for the impacted Bulleen Industrial Precinct businesses. Unfortunately this could not be achieved given the complexities and timeframes and this remains a significant concern for Council.”
By participating in the judicial review process we have been able to negotiate certainty on key outcomes and significant projects for the benefit of our community including:
The State Government today announced that Option A has been selected as the preferred route for the North East Link (NEL).
Manningham Mayor, Cr Andrew Conlon says that Council has a number of concerns with Option A that they will be seeking assurance on. Council has previously resolved not to support Option A.
“It’s important to us that the Manningham community is not disadvantaged by this project.”
“As a Council, we want to see impact to private land and community facilities limited, with those affected fairly compensated.”
“We also want confirmation that the Eastern Freeway will not be a toll road and that its median strip will be preserved for future transport options including Bus Rapid Transport and Doncaster Rail,” he said.
Cr Conlon said that Manningham’s recent household survey showed that opinion was divided on the preferred route. With residents most concerned about the introduction of toll roads, protecting parklands and local amenity as well as impact from traffic and noise pollution.
“These results are not surprising. With three of the four proposed North East Link routes passing through Manningham, this project always had the potential to significantly impact us regardless of the route chosen.”
“Once detailed designs for Option A become available, we will be actively advocating on behalf of our community on the issues they’ve highlighted to us.”
“We will be looking at how to minimise project impacts and if any opportunities exist that could deliver benefits to our residents,” he said.
Manningham will be using their recent household survey to inform their future submissions to the North East Link Authority (NELA) and to advocate on behalf of its residents.
The survey results that will be formally presented to Council at its meeting on 28 November showed that respondents preferred route options are:
Route Option A – 35%
Route Option B – 27%
Route Option C – 27%
Route Option D – 7%
Interestingly there is no apparent correlation on the preferred route and where respondents live within the municipality.
