Bushland reserves

Maroondah is home to approximately 44 bushland reserves. These reserves are home to most of Maroondah’s biodiversity.

Some of Maroondah's reserves are not accessible to the public as they are quite small, or contain rare and threatened species that need to be protected.

The following reserves offer visitors enjoyment such as wildflowers, wildlife, bush walks and wetlands.
