Arcade Way Reserve Public Art Project: Ash Firebrace

Ash Firebrace is a Wurundjeri artist who draws on traditional artmaking techniques to create contemporary art and design. Over the years, he has created many intricate pen and pencil drawings of native animals which have been transformed into graphic design works, welcoming signage, and public artworks all across Naarm/Melbourne. His artwork is currently featured on Moonee Valley's Bagarru Bagarru Djerring Shoulder to Shoulder Together - Reconciliation Plan (2022 - 2025).  

Native grasslands have been discovered in three reserves in East Keilor and Avondale Heights - The Crossway South Reserve, Arcade Way Reserve and JH Allan Reserve.

The Natural Temperate Grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic Plain are critically endangered and protected by both the state and federal law.

Less than 0.5% of the original grasslands remain making the patches in our backyard extremely rare and precious.
