100 Acres Reserve

Welcome to the 100 Acres Reserve, a stunning establishment located in Park Orchards, Australia. This 41-hectare Conservation Reserve is of regional significance, offering a picturesque natural bush setting that is perfect for a variety of recreational activities.

Whether you enjoy walking, jogging, dog walking, horse riding, or simply immersing yourself in nature, the 100 Acres Reserve has something for everyone. The Reserve's Management Plan, reviewed in 2010, ensures continuous improvements to enhance its biodiversity, control weeds and pests, protect rare flora species, upgrade paths, and provide informative signage.

Please note that dogs are allowed on lead throughout the Reserve, except for the northwest corner where they are prohibited due to its high conservation value. This ensures the preservation of the area's unique ecosystem.

For your safety, please be aware that the 100 Acres Reserve, along with all Manningham reserves, is closed on days with a total fire ban higher than a severe Fire Danger Rating. To stay informed about fire danger ratings and total fire ban days, visit the CFA website.

We greatly appreciate your help in maintaining a safe environment. If you notice anything unsafe, such as a broken tree branch or damaged playground, please let us know. We value your feedback and strive to provide the best experience for all visitors.

In order to protect the Reserve's natural beauty and wildlife, it is important to be mindful of the risk of fire. Finer fuels such as leaf litter, tree branches, and twigs increase the fire risk within the Reserve. However, fallen trees provide habitats for native wildlife and require a significantly higher level of heat to burn.

While we manage 20% of the land in Manningham, it is important to note that the other 66% is privately owned. To ensure your private property is prepared for fire, please visit the CFA website for helpful information.

We also want to acknowledge the rich cultural heritage of the land. Manningham Council recognizes the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land and waterways within Manningham. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and value the ongoing contribution they make to enrich and appreciate our cultural heritage. We also acknowledge and respect Australia's First Peoples as the Traditional Owners of lands and waterways across the country, and encourage reconciliation between all. Furthermore, we appreciate the diverse backgrounds and cultures that have contributed to Manningham over the years.

Come and experience the natural beauty and recreational opportunities that the 100 Acres Reserve has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you to this remarkable tourist attraction in Park Orchards, Australia.
