The Doncaster Hill strategy is a 20 year, AUD$2 billion vision created by the City of Manningham for the area.
The 58 hectare precinct identified by the strategy is located 12 kilometres from Melbourne's central business district and is situated close to main arterial roads, including the Eastern Freeway.
The strategy aims to create an urban village which reduces urban sprawl that would otherwise threaten sensitive natural environment in the City of Manningham. When complete, it will be a place for people to live, work, meet and visit. Streetscapes, parks, transport and planning schemes are all being improved as part of the vision.
Current developments in the area include the Westfield Doncaster shopping centre as well as a number of low-density commercial/residential buildings. A number of projects have already begun on Doncaster Hill, which has so far been limited to medium-density residential towers and flats. Melbourne is currently facing a downturn in property development, which is slowing the current progress of development.
