Quarry Reserve’s $2.35 million upgrades are now complete with a city skyline lookout after a year of development.
The upgrades were funded by $1.7 million from the Australian Government, $600,000 from Council and $50,000 from Fisheries Victoria.
A beautiful urban parkland in the heart of Ferntree Gully, many improvements have been made to Quarry Reserve across the last 12 months, including the introduction of a nature-based play space, upgraded public toilets, additional car parking spaces, three new fishing platforms, a picnic shelter – including tables, BBQ and a drinking fountain, over 230 new plants and trees, new paths, stairs and fencing, and now, a brand-new viewing platform, providing all-abilities access.
The viewing platform, positioned on the clifftop, provides beautiful views of the city skyline for community members and visitors alike to stop and enjoy the scenery and surrounds.
