Sorry, I don't know many sites that side of town. On the other side of
town, Truganina Swamp in Altona is 5 minutes walk from Westona station,
if you can get yourself to a railway station from there. Not a short
trip from Doncaster, so getting there early might be a problem. Colin
Clark's report from 2 years ago will give a good idea of what's there:

You should expect to see between 30 and 50 species in 2 hours there.
You can walk through the swamp down to the bay in about half an hour (if
you aren't dawdling looking at things) where you could see a few more
species. There's a high tide roost at the mouth of Laverton Ck, on the
west side, that can be interesting.
I keep seeing Banyule Flats mentioned in the list, but I haven't been
there. It and others are described at
http://www.melboca.org.au/birdingsites.
Did you get any other responses? If so, I'd be interested to hear what
was suggested. People tend to mention only the *best* places to go, not
the best places that can be reached without a car. It's a very
different thing, and would make a good book or website.
