We’re building a new park for Doncaster Hill. This project is part of the Doncaster Hill Strategy (2002, revised 2004) and Manningham Open Space Strategy.
It will include:
outdoor seating
a BBQ area
drinking fountain
public art
large open lawn areas
a playspace
nature play
canopy tree planting
bike hoops; and more.
When will the works happen?
Works began in December 2023 and we're on track for the park to open mid-2024.
As part of the project, we will reconstruct a section of the road and footpath on Hepburn Road, between Gifford and Walker Streets.

When will the works happen?
Works began in December 2023 and we're on track for the park to open mid-2024.
As part of the project, we will reconstruct a section of the road and footpath on Hepburn Road, between Gifford and Walker Streets.
The intersection of Hepburn Road and Short Street will be closed from 29 April 2024 until early June 2024, to complete these works. Read more.
Where is it?
The new park will be located on Hepburn Road, between Walker Street and Gifford Road in Doncaster.
Why is it needed?
The Doncaster Hill Strategy (2002, revised 2004) identified the need for a new park to buffer high-density residential zones and provide much-needed open space to residents.
The park offers recreational options, including play and relaxation, while also fostering a sense of community through new public facilities, greenery, and public art, giving these areas a vibrant urban character and a unique identity.
How will the works affect me?
Once we commence works, there may be some noise and traffic changes required to allow for construction. We’ll do our best to minimise any impacts on residents and visitors.
It’s time to give the new park on Hepburn Road an official name!
We’re proposing…Hepburn Reserve
This name is relevant, clear and consistent with the names of Manningham’s other local reserves. It aligns with our Naming of Reserves Policy, which states local reserves should be named after the longest road they adjoin. It also aligns with the Geographic Place Names Act 1998 and Official Naming Rules for Places in Victoria 2022.
Complete this survey to tell us what you think about the proposed name.
Please note:
If you do not respond to this survey, it will be taken as implied consent to the proposed name.
All submissions must be received by 5.00pm on Wednesday 8 May.
All name submissions must comply with Naming rules for places in Victoria – Statutory requirements for naming roads, features and localities – 2022.
Manningham City Council is fully committed to protecting any personal information you provide to us as per our obligations under the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic). We are collecting this information for the purpose of obtaining any community objections to the proposed name, so we can officially name the new park on Hepburn Road.
