FAQs

To build the North East Link tunnels and connection to the Eastern Freeway, some community sports fields and facilities in Bulleen Park will be impacted. Upgrades to the park will be delivered to mitigate construction impacts.

The upgrades will include:

  • two new replacement pavilions
  • realignment and redevelopment of the three existing sports ovals
  • upgrades to sportsfield lighting, cricket nets, and fencing
  • planting of new trees and vegetation
  • upgrading playground equipment and park amenities
  • improvements to pedestrian connectivity between the new main carpark and pavilions with pedestrian lighting
  • reconfigured car parking.

The Bulleen Park Sports Upgrade is part of North East Link and will be delivered by Development Victoria.

Development Victoria is still evaluating the Requests for Tender for the head contractor.

Construction works at Bulleen Park are expected to commence early 2025.

The upgraded sports facilities will be progressively handed over local clubs and the community, with works to be completed in 2028.

To deliver the construction of the new pavilions, ovals and carpark some trees will need to be removed and replaced through new planting. We’re currently reviewing our designs to minimise tree impact where possible and identify areas for replanting.

Construction will be staged to minimise impacts to Yarraleen Cricket Club and Bulleen Templestowe District Junior Football Club. During construction, visitors can expect access changes to parking and the way they move around Bulleen Park. Signage and traffic management will be in place to safely guide people around works.

Bulleen Park will continue to be owned and managed by Manningham Council.
