What’s your vision for our activity centres?
Our activity centres are important places where we shop, work, access services, socialise and live.
With the population expected to increase to more than 140,000 people in the next 12 years, activity centres will play an integral role in accommodating urban growth and development in Manningham.
We're creating principles to guide good design for our activity centres and inviting the community to contribute by providing your feedback on our Activity Centre Design Concepts.
The Design Concepts provide guidance on:
- building heights
- residential interfaces
- architectural presentation
- public realm
- sustainability
- access and car parking.
Your feedback will help inform the development of the Activity Centre Design Guidelines, which will provide direction for growth and development in our neighbourhood activity centres.
Activity Centre Design Guidelines
Our Activity Centre Design Guidelines will help us grow and develop our neighbourhood activity centres to meet the needs of our community.
They will be used to assess planning permit applications in activity centres as part of the Manningham Planning Scheme, across the following nine activity centres:
- Bulleen Plaza
- Donburn
- Doncaster East Village (Devon Plaza)
- Jackson Court
- Macedon Square/ Plaza
- Park Orchards
- Templestowe Village
- Tunstall Square
- Warrandyte Goldfields
The draft guidelines will be exhibited for community feedback in 2025.
Pop-up sessions
We're hosting the following pop-up sessions to provide community members with an opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and provide feedback on the Activity Centre Design Concepts.
- Tunstall Square Village, 28 April, 8.00am to 12.00pm (noon)
- Warrandyte market, 4 May, 8.00am to 12.00pm (noon)
Attend a focus group session
We're running two focus group sessions as part of our consultation for the Manningham Residential Discussion Paper.
With Council's endorsement of the Activity Centre Design Concepts at the 23 April 2024 meeting, these sessions also provide us with an opportunity to hear your views on how we can best manage growth across our activity centres.
We'll also be inviting feedback on the Victorian Government's plan for Victoria - the first statewide strategy to guide Victoria's growth until 2050. We want to make sure that the State Government considers what our community values when they develop their plan.
We hope you can join us to discuss these key strategic projects.
