About banyule
Banyule is renowned for its open spaces and plentiful parklands, especially along the Yarra and Plenty River valleys. Its a place where people can enjoy bike riding, walking, a visit to the Heide Museum for Modern Art and great local restaurants all in one day. It is a place where people can also discover the historic landscapes of the Heidelberg School of Painters and native fauna and flora.
Where else in Melbourne, just less than 20 kms from the CBD can you find kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and over 115 bird species and 4 bat species all in one place. Banyule is also special because of its diversity and people. It is home to people from 143 countries, 125 of which are non-English speaking. Our community with all its different facets adds meaning to our lives, our families and what we value about Banyule we should strive to preserve.
