City of Yarra w/Merri Creek Management Committee

This year, 4000 plants have been locally secured to commence restoration works next to a path and undulating section of parkland. The new area will connect up with an existing patch of bush where blue tongue lizards frequent. Local flora has been specifically sourced to improve the quality of this park's nationally endangered Plains Grassy Woodland vegetation community and improve cultural values of the 'Birrarung'.

DIRECTIONS

Alphington Park is located along the 'Birrarung' (Yarra River) that as living entity, provides an essential connection to cultural heritage. Council's National Tree Day remains a popular community event with between 150 to 200 volunteers regularly in attendance each year. This year ground story planting works have been planned to improve the quality of habitat on the Parkview Rd or west side of Alphington Park (south of the sports oval).
