Wednesday, 17 August 2022.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (9:41):

After a journey of over five years, the community was heart warmed to attend the official opening of the Elsternwick Park Nature Reserve.

The 13-hectare environmental space, which includes a chain of ponds, has been converted from a golf course.

At the opening Bayside council officially renamed the reserve the Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve. The clan are the river people of Port Phillip.
