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.
