Hermann Reserve provides conservation value, as part of the Porter Street, Biosite 35 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. This includes significant remnant Red Gum trees and additional Red Gums that have naturally regenerated in the vegetated parts of the Reserve. Further planting of Red Gums in some areas that are currently mown is supported.
The reserve provides pedestrian access between Hermann Court, Dora Court and Porter Street and an attractive green buffer in this residential area. There is a Melbourne Water main drain running through the reserve and a natural wetland area. The walking/ bicycle path along Porter Street has been upgraded.
