Local Environmental Conditions
Around 72% of the area near this location in City of Moonee Valley is built-up land, with some open grassland and woodland.

Grasses and weeds such as pigweed and plantain round out the local mix.
Ash, plane tree and willow lead the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by early fall. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in spring, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.
