Pleasant Reserve is 5,254m² and is relatively undeveloped. The Sheahans Reserve Development Plan 2011 sets out the future development of Morang, Sheahans and Pleasant Reserves. Improvements to Pleasant Reserve include planting, a new path and a shade arch.
The reserve is part of an informal linear connection of parklands from Pleasant Reserve to Birrarung Park via Sheahans Reserve, Morang Reserve, the Kimberley Way footpath and Kimberley Reserve. There is potential to connect the eastern end of Pleasant Reserve to Swanston Reserve along the natural drainage line. The enhancement of this linear park would greatly increase its usage by to local residents.

We propose installing a new public toilet along the Mullum Mullum Trail....
Updated: 17 December 2024
We're installing a new public toilet along the Mullum Mullum Trail.
The new facility will include:
The toilet would be installed near the car park at the intersection of Conos Court and Park Road, Donvale.
An extensive investigation determined this as the only suitable site on Council-owned land in the area.
This was for several reasons, including:
This location also benefits from passive surveillance due to nearby residents and passing traffic. In an area of secluded bushland, the site is visible and easily accessible to trail users. Additionally, it provides a mid-point facility between the existing toilets at Mullum Mullum Stadium and Schwerkolt Cottage.
Currently, without a public toilet in this area, visitors are limited in where they can go and how long they can stay. A safe, well maintained, and environmentally friendly toilet would significantly improve the experience for people using the Mullum Mullum Trail.
Find out more about the community consultation completed as part of this project.
This project is part of our Public Toilet Plan 2021.
Construction will likely begin in early to mid-2025. This project is part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.

Ruffey Creek Linear Park runs along Ruffey Creek Valley in Templestowe from Ruffey Lake Park (King Street) to Finns Reserve, where the creek enters the Yarra River. The park is almost entirely a bush experience landscaped with native vegetation alongside a recently constructed shared path. Highlights of the Linear Park include the fantastic destinations at each end.
Off lead reserve, except within 15 metres of a playground, barbecue area or where a sporting event is in progress. Once the trail is completed (refer Ruffey Creek Linear Park Management Plan 2017), dogs will be required to be on-lead within five metres of the trail.
Within the Linear Park, Ruffey, Biosite 30 comprises 7.35 hectares remnant vegetation located in three sections; one at the Yarra River at Finns Reserve, another upstream of Foote Street at St. Kevins Primary School and the third in Ruffey Lake Park. The vegetation is considered high priority in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The creek valley has always been considered important as a wildlife corridor and appropriate screen planting of indigenous vegetation, weed management and integration of these adjoining reserves should continue.
The Ruffey Trail, a major feature of the Linear Park, offers a bushland experience for pedestrians and cyclists on an off-road three kilometre shared path. The trail crosses four major roads between Finns Reserve and Ruffey Lake Park. There are underpasses (with lighting) at King Street and Williamsons Road and road crossings at Foote Street and Parker Street. Cyclists and pedestrians currently also use Eumeralla Avenue as there is no footpath or trail in this section.
