Ferntree Gully welcomes new lookout

After a year of development, Quarry Reserve’s $2.35 million upgrades are now complete – with a city skyline lookout.

The upgrades were funded by $1.7 million from the Australian Government, $600,000 from Council and $50,000 from Fisheries Victoria.

A beautiful urban parkland in the heart of Ferntree Gully, many improvements have been made to Quarry Reserve across the last 12 months, including:

  • Introduction of a nature-based play space

  • Upgraded public toilets

  • Additional car parking spaces

  • Three new fishing platforms

  • Picnic shelter – including tables, BBQ and a drinking fountain

  • Over 230 new plants and trees

  • New paths, stairs and fencing

  • And now, a brand-new viewing platform, providing all-abilities access.

The viewing platform, positioned on the clifftop, provides beautiful views of the city skyline for community members and visitors alike to stop and enjoy the scenery and surrounds.
