An Extreme Fire Danger Rating has been forecast for Yarra Ranges on Saturday, 22 February 2025. As a result, Warburton Water World, Olinda Outdoor Pool, Arts Centre Warburton, Belgrave South Progress Hall, Karwarra Gardens, and Birdsland Reserve will be closed for the safety of our community.Stay informed by visiting the Vic Emergency and CFA website for latest warnings and updates.
Yarra Ranges Council is committed to improving sport and recreation facilities for the local community, and the installation of an upgraded lighting system is a part of this effort.
The new lighting system will replace the existing failing Metal Halide Lighting with 150 LUX LED (Australian standards AFL), which will significantly reduce energy consumption for the reserve and improve the system performance for community users and local sporting clubs.
This project is a part of a grant application, and if successful, the sports field lighting works will be planned to commence early 2026.
Kilsyth Recreation Reserve is a local recreation reserve managed by Council for the benefit of local sporting clubs and residents in and the surrounding areas. This project will greatly benefit the growing participation in AFL across the municipality, through the Eastern Rangers Football Club who train and play at the reserve.
