The new reserve has been named the Mick Morland Reserve in memory of the late Mick Morland OAM.
Mick was a colourful character, a former Mayor at the City of Casey and an Edrington Ward Councillor. He was also a member of the Rotary Club of Berwick, serving as President in 2012-2013.
The Mick Morland Legacy Link is also being constructed along Copabella Circuit which leads towards the recreation reserve, comprising of porphyry stone thresholds, furniture and plantings.
The Rotary Club of Berwick is in discussion with the City of Casey to place a seat in Mick's honour. The council are planning to have a Quercus Lobata planted on the far side of the sports ground facing back down the walk. The intention is for Mick's seat to be set under his tree, so that you can sit and reflect back on the walk.
