Romaine Reserve

Announcement

Jan-Feb: PWS is working alongside Burnie City Council on the Romaine Dams scour valve and piping project. To ensure everyone’s safety, the site will be clearly marked, delineated and access over the spillway will be restricted. We understand this may cause some inconvenience to those who use these pathways and we appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time.

Romaine Reserve forms part of a walkway and boardwalk that circumnavigates Burnie and can also be used for cycling or relaxing.

It features a fitness track that winds around a dam on Romaine Creek containing domestic and wildfowl.

The Reserve contains remnant and exotic vegetation, with large mountain ashes, white gums, sub-storey blackwoods and man ferns.

Dogs

Dogs are allowed to be walked through the Reserve along the formed walking track if they are on a lead. Dogs are not permitted in the reserve area between the dam wall and the pond's southern end.

Ducks

Please refrain from feeding the ducks, as it can cause illness and deformities plus increase waterway pollution and nuisance algae. Feeding can also cause less foraging for the duck’s native foods and therefore a dependency on humans.
