Hookey Park, Main Street Mooroolbark and Melba Park Lilydale 

I am a member of the Hookey Park  and Melba Park Community  Reference Groups that has succeeded in obtaining funding for upgrading and improving these important community assets.  Both Parks will shortly undergo a massive restructure that will see them returned to their former glory.  Over $1 million dollars will be spent to totally revitalise Melba Park that will see a section of the park along Station Street replicate the Edna Walling theme that has played an important part of Mooroolbark  history .  The library to include an indoor outdoor café.  Removal of the old playground, relocation and installation of an all new ultra modern playground strategically positioned outside the library giving parents an opportunity to relax, read, have a coffee and keep an eye on the young ones. Also work is about to start on the street beautification works along Brice Ave with tree and garden plantings and a wider footpath. A new playground is under construction at the Red Earth Reserve.

Melba Park

A picturesque Park situated behind the upgraded Yarra Ranges Regional Museum and recently added all new playground.  Some of the many things planned include the relocation of toilets, improved picnic area and improved lighting to name a few.
