Where are my rates going? Yarra Ranges Council minor works update for October 2025

When we, hard-working residents of the Yarra Ranges, pay our rates to the council, we sometimes might think: ‘Where exactly does my money go?’

The majority of the works the council completes are minor works, so it’s easy to overlook them, whereas the bigger, more expensive projects get a lot of attention.

In October, a number of minor works were completed by the Yarra Ranges Council – here’s a quick rundown of those in Ryrie Ward.

Herbert Street in Yarra Glen had a crossover renewal.

The entrance to the Yarra Glen carpark (at the rear of post office, off Healesville-Yarra Glen Road) was renewed and widened.

There was stump replacement at the Badger Creek old School House.

The ceiling and skylight was repaired at the McKenzie Reserve Public Toilet.
