Norwood Reserve enhancement plan

Tree planting and revegetation works at the front of the reserve have been completed.

A single avenue planting of Eucalyptus melliodora (Yellow Box) was chosen to line the Warrandyte Road boundary. These trees will be interplanted with Allocasuarina littoralis (Black ) and Acacia implexa (Lightwood). These tree species are indigenous to the area and will provide a native food source and habitat for birds and wildlife, including the local Black Cockatoo population.

Further planting in the reserve will occur according to the enhancement plan and will form part of the final stages of the project.

Drainage improvement works are now complete.

The works include the expansion of the retarding basin at the north east corner of the site, to aid in managing stormwater storage during intense rainfall events.

Hard landscaping works are scheduled to commence from mid-2025, following the carpark and soft landscaping works. These works will feature flexible open spaces, natural play elements, seating and a loop walking trail. Works are subject to budget and contractor availability.

No building works are included in the scope of the enhancement plan.

Carpark improvement works are now underway. Works will occur in stages through to April 2025, subject to weather conditions. Staged car park closures will apply for the duration of works to ensure accessibility to parking for building users.

The works will increase the current number of car spaces from 58 (including 3 accessible spaces) to 79 spaces (including 6 accessible spaces), which is an extra 21 car spaces.

Surrounding pathway works will also be completed to improve accessibility to the community buildings.
