The upgrade of the Templestowe Memorial Reserve is now complete and offers a new space for residents to reflect and enjoy. 

The reserve now includes a new ampitheatre-style standing area and a memorial feature along with additional seating areas and new landscaping.

The upgrade will help ensure the reserve can accommodate the growing crowds at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services.

Works included landscaping and planting of notable species such as the Gallipoli Centenary Rose, Callistemon ‘White ANZAC’ bottlebrush and rosemary. 

Funded through Manningham Council’s Capital Works Program, the upgrade aims to honour the significant contribution and memory of our service people.

It also builds on the rich history of the Templestowe Memorial Reserve site, which was originally the Bulleen Shire Hall, until 1910, when it became the Shire Pound. The location became a memorial reserve in 1971.

Manningham Council completed the upgrade with involvement from the Templestowe RSL and Rotary Manningham City.

Residents can visit the upgraded Templestowe Memorial Reserve on the corner of High Street and Foote Street in Templestowe Lower.
