Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Newmans Water Supply Reserve Melway Ref: 33 A3 - A4 Suburb: Templestowe Precinct: Tikalara Catchment: District Functions: Public utility, linear park, pedestrian link Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Informal grassed area Path network Dogs on lead This Melbourne Water owned reserve comprising two properties either side of Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road contains the Porter Street Melbourne Water main drinking water supply pipe. Both parts are approximately 20 metres wide and are currently used as an informal pedestrian link along the pipe track. The Reserve links to Porter Street in the south and O’Briens Lane in the north. From O’Briens Lane it is possible to link into the Yarra Valley Parklands. Ultimately this provides a connection to Candlebark Park and the Main Yarra Trail. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Niland Reserve Melway Ref: 33 H4 Suburb: Templestowe Precinct: Westerfolds Catchment: Local Functions: Pedestrian link Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Informal grassed area Dogs on lead Mature trees Path network Niland Reserve is a small reserve (988 m 2) that provides pedestrian access through to Templestowe Park Primary School and is immediately adjacent to the School’s oval. The Reserve provides an attractive green space within the residential area and Mandella Reserve is located only 120 metres away, on the opposite side of the school oval. There are no plans to develop this reserve any further. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Noral Reserve Melway Ref: 33 K9 Suburb: Templestowe Precinct: Green Gully Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Informal grassed area Dogs on lead Mature trees Noral Reserve is a relatively large reserve (2325 m2), prominently located on the corner of Greenridge Avenue and Noral Court. The Reserve is situated in close proximity to Serpell’s Community Reserve (170 metres away) with The Grange Reserve (450 metres away). There is a bus stop directly adjacent. The Reserve is undeveloped but, other than some tree planting, signage and a park seat, no further development is recommended at this reserve. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Oakland Reserve Melway Ref: 34 H2 Suburb: Warrandyte Precinct: Currawong Catchment: Local Functions: Pedestrian link, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Informal grassed area Dogs off lead Remnant vegetation (biosite) Path Oakland Reserve is a relatively large reserve (0,5 Hectares) that also provides a pedestrian thoroughfare from Oakland Drive to Warrandyte High School and should be retained for this purpose. Local residents in the surrounding low density residential area also access the school oval through this Reserve for out of school hour’s recreation purposes. Continuing the existing path to the school boundary gate, in consultation with the school, will better serve the Reserve’s purpose, especially in wet weather. A natural drainage line, containing a Council drain, runs parallel with the existing path across the site. The north-west corner of the Reserve is also located on the periphery of the Naughton Avenue, Biosite 15, with some remnant vegetation along the boundary fence. There is scope for revegetation of parts of the Reserve to enhance the value of the Biosite consistent with Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Oban Reserve Melway Ref: 49 D2 Suburb: Donvale Precinct: Mullum Catchment: Local Functions: Flora/fauna Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Dogs on lead Mature trees Creek This is a small drainage reserve (1082 m 2) at 282A Oban Road and contains the Glenvale Road natural drainage line which connects to the Ennismore Drain before enetering the Mullum Mullum Creek. The bed and bank of the drainage line are managed by Melbourne Water. There is a small part of the adjoining private property (540 m 2) located between the Reserve and Oban Road. Overall, the Reserve has an attractive creek bed as its main feature. While Oban Reserve forms part of Oban Road, Biosite 21 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012, the remnant vegetation (ground storey and tall eucalypts) is being threatened by the overriding presence of weeds. The function of the Reserve is to protect the creek from soil erosion. The Reserve is a low priority, but any future plans for should involve weed management and the reinstatement of indigenous vegetation. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Old Shire Hall Urban Plaza Melway Ref: 47 E1 Suburb: Doncaster Precinct: Ruffey Catchment: Local Functions: Urban plaza Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Seating Garden beds Dogs on lead Interpretative signage Informal grassed area Public art The Old Shire Hall (built in 1892) is located on the 818 m 2 reserve on the corner of Doncaster Road and Council Street. In addition to the Old Shire Hall, there is a carpark behind this historic building and a small urban plaza on the Doncaster Road frontage. The Old Shire Hall is leased by the Doncaster Templestowe Artists Society. The 243m² urban plaza in front of the Old Shire Hall was developed as part of the Doncaster Hill Strategy, October 2004 . The plaza’s features include the ‘Running / Walking (Moving Forward) ’ public art fence along the boundary of the adjoining school, heritage signs (including sound posts), paving, seating and feature lighting. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis One Tree Hill Reserve Melway ref: 34 J12 Suburb: Donvale Precinct: Mullum Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation, flora/fauna Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Dogs off lead Open grass areas Path network Public art One Tree Hill Reserve (formerly Berrima Reserve) is two hectares in size, contains remnant vegetation and forms part of McIntyre Road, Biosite 19. The vegetation is considered very high priority in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012 and future management of the Reserve needs to reflect this. The Reserve links Berrima Road with One Tree Hill and provides pleasant parkland for the surrounding area. The Reserve has a non traditional play function with wooden sculptures hidden amongst the trees and bushland around the hilltop. The sculptures were installed in 1999 and while these are aging and in some instances have been broken, they remain sympathetic to the character of the Reserve and along with the views, provide a reason for people to visit the Reserve and explore the natural environment. This Reserve is a great asset, is well connected for a reserve in a low density residential area, and has reasonably unique elements of interest due to its views and ecological values. An upgrade of the Reserve commenced in 2013 as part of the Neighbourhood Park Program in consultation with local residents. The Reserve is well used and loved by locals, mainly for exercise, dog walking and relaxing. Some improvements to the path network, weed control, minor drainage works and some revegetation are still to be completed. The Reserve offers a high vantage point which is popular with local residents to watch sunsets. The theme of this reserve should continue as a bush parkland with non prescriptive play elements. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Orchid Reserve Melway Ref: 35 D9 Suburb: Park Orchards Precinct: 100 Acres Catchment: Local Functions: Flora/fauna , drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Dogs on lead Orchid Reserve is located at the end of a court in close proximity to Domeney Reserve and 100 Acres Reserve. This 3893 m 2 reserve is L-shaped and difficult to distinguish on the ground due to unfenced boundaries and a level of landscape encroachment from adjacent properties. The northern arm of this reserve is currently more densely vegetated and difficult to navigate and effectively forms a dead end. A natural drainage line crosses the Reserve and also contains an underground Council drain. The key asset of this reserve is the native vegetation, as it forms part of the Rainbow Valley Road, Biosite 20 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The Reserve has the potential to become a useful pedestrian link to the east, with the addition of land which is currently part of 61 South Valley Road. This will then form a public pedestrian link from local residences and Park Orchards Reserve and Domeney Reserve and 100 Acres Reserve. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Oxford Reserve Melway Ref: 48 G5 Suburb: Nunawading Precinct: Boronia Catchment: District Functions: Informal recreation, linear park, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Play equipment (small) Informal grassed area Dogs off lead Basketball Mature trees Path network Rain garden Oxford Reserve is located in an isolated part of Manningham on the southern side of the Eastern Freeway. The 6350 m 2 reserve shares an unmarked boundary with the Eastern Freeway Open Space. This Freeway land contains a secondary shared path that connects to the Koonung Creek Linear Park to the west and Mullum Mullum Park to the east. The Reserve is well landscaped, has a linear rain garden feature, good path connections and diverse play opportunities. It provides valuable recreation opportunities for residents in this area, including a playspace installed in 2006 catering for 3+ year olds and a basketball ring. Open Space Strategy 2012 Part 3 Reserve Analysis Park Reserve Melway Ref: 32 J12 Suburb: Bulleen Precinct: Bolin Bolin Catchment: District Functions: Sport Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Soccer Formal sports field Dogs off lead Community centre/ hall Shared path network Principal pedestrian network Off street parking Public toilets Park Reserve is located adjacent to the Koonung Creek Linear Park and Greythorn Bowling Club. As well as providing a soccer field, the Reserve acts as a buffer from the freeway for local residents.
