Manningham Council has adopted the Vibrant Villages Action Plan 2023, which sets out our plan for the upgrade of public spaces in our local shopping centres.
This Action Plan identifies shopping centres for a range of upgrades and improvements to make them more vibrant, with a focus on priorities over the next ten years.
These upgrades may include:
- landscaping
- outdoor seating
- footpath improvements
- outdoor tables
- parklets
- bicycle infrastructure
- traffic improvements
- drainage improvements and water sensitive urban design,
- carparking improvements
- and structure planning.
Manningham Mayor Cr Deirdre Diamante said Manningham’s activity centres provide an important role within the community.
“They offer shops, community facilities and services that meet the daily needs of local residents. They provide a place of employment for many. They also offer an opportunity for people to gather and interact, which is so important for community connection and a feeling of belonging.”
“Our centres need to be of a high standard to continue to draw people to them, which in turn benefits our local traders. They need to be safe, accessible and pleasant places to visit and shop.
That’s why this Vibrant Villages Plan is so important – it sets out a framework and plan for ensuring we can keep our centres across Manningham thriving to their full potential.”
Cr Diamante said small improvements to centres like seating, car parking, landscape, footpaths and lighting can impact the use, function and enjoyment of an activity centre.
“This Plan will help us make sure we manage the appearance and function of centres to meet the needs of our community both now and in the future.”
We will focus on:
Neighbourhood Activity Centres: (in no particular order)
- Donburn
- Jackson Court
- Macedon Square (safety and amenity works only)
- Templestowe Village
Local Activity Centres:
- Mitcham Road, Donvale
- Thompson Heights, Bulleen
- Whittens Lane, Doncaster
- Feathertop Avenue, Templestowe Lower
- Bulleen Road, Bulleen
- Village Avenue, Doncaster
- Rosella Street, Doncaster East
- Templestowe Road at Bridge Road, Bulleen
- Chatsworth Quadrant, Templestowe Lower
- JJ Tully Drive, Doncaster
Engagement with stakeholders will be undertaken at the time when individual Neighbourhood and Local Activity Centres are to be upgraded.

As part of the Public Toilet Plan 2021, we're upgrading the toilets at Tunstall Square shopping Centre in 2024.
Where is it?
These public toilets are located in the centre of the car park at Tunstall Square Shopping Centre in Doncaster East.
When will it happen?
We plan to begin the replacement of the toilets in mid-2024, and expect them to take around two months to complete.
Why is it needed?
The implementation of the Public Toilet Plan involves delivering new public toilets and refurbishing existing ones. The new modular toilets will be safer with better lighting and ventilation, and more accessible with improved footpath connections.
We have prioritised this location to be delivered in 2023/24 in response to community feedback about the toilets condition.
What will the toilets look like?
The new modular toilets will include:
- An accessible cubicle
- An ambulatory cubicle
- Baby and child change facilities
- External and internal powered lighting
- Ventilation screens
- Perforated picture panels inspired by the local surroundings
How will the works affect me?
To minimise any potential noise or disruption to the community, our modular toilets are made offsite in Geelong and will be delivered to site.
We’ll have temporary toilets available for public use during the works. If possible, we’ll connect these toilets to the existing plumbing infrastructure to reduce any unpleasant smells.
