Council has provided a submission to the Urban Design and Landscape Plan (UDLP) for the first stage of the Eastern Freeway Upgrades, as part of the North East Link Program (NELP).
We have provided recommendations throughout the submission that aim to improve the overall design and net community benefit for Manningham residents.
Our submission identifies various matters in the UDLP for attention by NELP and reiterates Council's strong and ongoing advocacy to ensure:
- no net loss of open space results from the project
- pedestrian connectivity is maintained and improved, and;
- noise walls meet the expectations of our community to protect amenity.
We have also included recommendations to the design around Estelle Street in Bulleen and Outhwaite Avenue and Park Avenue in Doncaster to ensure the amenity of adjoining residents is considered.
Our detailed submission also focuses on key areas across:
- traffic and transport
- environmental impacts
- open space
- amenity
- other considerations.
We lodged our submission in October 2023.
