Background
Malahang Reserve is a regional park on the corner of Southern Road and Oriel Road in West Heidelberg. It is a popular community space offering a wide variety of activities for all ages. It features one of Banyule’s most visited and loved playground and many other features/amenities including:
- a basketball / netball court
- a skate park
- a fustal court
- outdoor gym equipment
- a public toilet
- shelters with BBQs
- a network of paths
- large areas of open grass and lots of trees.
Malahang Reserve is an important place for the community to gather, hosting the Malahang Community Festival, Lantern Festival, and Banyule’s National Sorry Day healing ceremony.
As a regional park, Malahang Reserve needs regular review to keep pace with high usage and evolving community needs. This project aims to grow a play space that reflects the local community’s character, diversity, and future needs.
For open space classifications refer to the Parks and Open Spaces homepage.
Your feedback will help shape a draft concept plan for future playground improvements, which we'll share to make sure it meets community needs.
Our community is made up of diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, sexualities, ages and genders. We are committed to access, equity, participation and rights for everyone: principles which empower, foster harmony and increase the wellbeing of an inclusive community.
Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region’s history.
