Overland Reserve is ready for action
A $1.65 million upgrade of Keilor East’s Overland Reserve (Oval 1) is now complete, delivering a top-quality space for football, cricket and casual use by the community.
The upgraded oval is now open and ready for the community to enjoy, with the first home game for East Keilor Football Club scheduled on Saturday 25 April.
Mayor of Moonee Valley, Cr Dr Rose Iser, is proud the work has been completed as part of a vision to support community health and wellbeing.
“The oval upgrade will encourage our community to participate in football and cricket; the improved turf looks great and more importantly provides a place for the whole community to be active” Cr Iser said.
“Council’s vision for Overland Reserve is to create a multi-use space that will benefit everyone – regardless of whether you enjoy team sport or prefer to walk, run or have fun at the playground.
“We are big believers that this kind of investment is a boost to grassroots sports participation and we are creating spaces where local families can meet and connect with their neighbours.”
In recent years, a range of works have been completed at Overland Reserve, including:
- major upgrade of Oval 1
- new double-storey pavilion
- car park upgrade & indented street parking
- relocation of the cricket nets
- walking paths
- increased tree plantings.
Future improvements at Overland Reserve will be considered within Council’s 4-year Capital Works Program, which is currently under development following consultation with the community in February 2026.
