… of the Reserve is quite limited. Wallmah Close Lower Templestowe VIC 3107 Australia … Wallmah Reserve …
Located on the corner of Wallmah Close and Wood Street, Wallmah Reserve is prominently located, with a group of large Pine trees defining its landscape character. Given the topography and table drain on Wood Street, the accessibility of the Reserve is quite limited.
Ruffey Creek Linear Park is located 100 metres away to the west. Wombat Bend playspace is located 500 metres away to the north-west, while the proposed Swilk Reserve playspace will be located 400 metres away to the south-east.
This reserve has very low priority for further development. Improved accessibility and landscape management are the key actions. A more substantial upgrade may wait until the Pine trees have reached the end of their useful life.

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.

Increasing pedestrian movement
We plan the construction of our city’s footpaths, shared paths and trails by identifying the routes that pedestrians use more often on their journeys.
We use community feedback and other key areas to identify this network and locate where new footpaths are needed and plan for their construction.
Works to build a new footpath are prioritised by:
- the pedestrian demand
- the type of road
- its location relative to various facilities within the community
- the proximity to public transport.
Timeframes for new footpath projects can be affected by factors such as major road projects or large scale developments throughout Manningham.
