Doncaster Park and Ride will close from Sunday 12 January 2025, with temporary bus stops to be put in place along Doncaster Road.
This is part of NELP's upcoming redevelopment of the facility, which will connect it to the Eastern Busway - a new dedicated busway along the Eastern Freeway.
Doncaster Park and Ride has been a valued service for many years, providing convenient parking and bus services for hundreds of commuters daily.
Manningham Council recognises the closure of the Doncaster Park and Ride will significantly impact the Manningham community. We are actively advocating on your behalf to improve alternative commuter options.
Though we have made several requests to NELP, we're disappointed with the State's lack of alternatives for impacted commuters and will continue advocating for further options to minimise disruption.
Bulleen Park and Ride opened in April 2023 to provide replacement parking and other travel options, while the Doncaster facility is closed for upgrades.
However, as the Bulleen facility has been consistently operating near capacity, there are limited car spaces available to accommodate commuters affected by the Doncaster facility's closure.
As the Doncaster Park and Ride bus services will now operate from the newly constructed temporary bus on Doncaster Road from 12 January 2025, we also encourage you to check before you travel and plan your journey via the PTV Journey Planner.
