The City is inviting community members to share stories, photos and documents about Quarry Hill’s rich history and character.
With community involvement, it will provide a broad historical overview of Quarry Hill known as a ‘thematic history’.
The study will look at how Quarry Hill has changed since post-European contact in the region.
The thematic history’s purpose is to identify and explain the main factors, processes, places and events that have shaped Quarry Hill.
Manager Strategic Planning Anthony Petherbridge said the community can play an important role in the project.
“This is stage 1 of the project, and the aim is to better understand Quarry Hill’s rich history, character and heritage,” Mr Petherbridge said.
“Stories, photographs and documents will be invaluable to provide local knowledge and a broader historical perspective of Quarry Hill.
“The City is also interested in exploring potential places of heritage significance within the area and information that can be shared to help fill in historical gaps or details.
“By doing so, the public engagement will help guide the development of a future heritage study for Quarry Hill to protect and celebrate significant places for future generations.
“A community session will be held on Tuesday May 6, 2025, from 3pm to 7.00pm at the Quarry Hill Golf Club, 47-85 Houston St, Quarry Hill.
“This is an opportunity to share your knowledge and talk to City staff involved in the project. Tell us your Quarry Hill stories from the past and bring along documents or photos that can contribute to this exciting project.
“You are encouraged to book a time slot at the community session via the City’s Let’s Talk Greater Bendigo online engagement platform.
“On Let’s Talk Greater Bendigo, you can also learn more about the project, upload documents and photos if you are unable to attend the community session.
“A map is also available for you to pinpoint places that you think are important in Quarry Hill’s history.”
