Where is the hill?
Just 14 kilometres from Melbourne City, Doncaster Hill covers
58 hectares centred on the main intersection of Doncaster
Road and Williamsons/Tram Road in Doncaster. It is located
to the east of Melbourne CBD, Victoria, with easy access to
the Eastern Freeway and key arterial roads.
Doncaster Hill extends along both Doncaster Road and Williamsons/Tram Road and is bound to the west by the Eastern Golf Club, to the north by Westfield Drive, to the east by the Manningham City Council Offices and to the south by Merlin Street.
The Hill has an elevation of approximately 120 metres above sea level.
It is one of the highest points in metropolitan Melbourne, offering
360-degree views to the Melbourne CBD, Port Phillip Bay, the Macedon,
You Yang and Dandenong Ranges. An integral part of the Doncaster
Hill Strategy is the enhancement of views experienced from the hill.
7 Key Precincts
Seven distinctive development precincts have been identified within
Doncaster Hill - each with a distinctive character and planning vision,
which together link to form an integrated urban village.
The precincts are delineated in accordance with their topographic
orientation and aspect on Doncaster Hill, their relationship with
main roads, and their present and future uses.
The precincts provide guidance to the expected outcomes in each area

character for each of the areas.
