Mt Eliza Woodland is an area of 7 sq km (700,000 hectares), bounded by Nepean Highway, Canadian Bay Road, Moorooduc Highway and Humphries Road, Mount Eliza.
Woodland covers about one third of Mt Eliza’s area. It represents an early part of the development of Mt Eliza, envisaged as a place where people would live on large blocks, surrounded by nature.
There are still many large trees and areas of remnant bush, especially along the creek reserves, in the Moorooduc Quarry Flora & Fauna Reserve, both in the southwest corner of Woodland, and in Lorikeet Reserve, in the northwest. There is also the extensive Bellbird/Millbank Reserve, which runs along and extends from a creek emptying into Kackeraboite Creek. This reserve offers more than 2 km of walking tracks. All of these reserves are frequented by the many native bird species found in the area.
In order to preserve the unique qualities of the area, Woodland is subject to special planning restrictions. This includes minimum residential housing block sizes, building height restrictions and limits on the area of impermeable cover allowed on each block.
