Help dig up Quarry Hill’s past

COMMUNITY members are invited to share stories, photos and documents about Quarry Hill’s rich background to help put together a broad historical overview of the suburb, known as a thematic history.

The study will look at how Quarry Hill has changed since post-European contact in the region, with its purpose to identify and explain the main factors, processes, places and events that have shaped it.

“(The contributions) will be invaluable to provide local knowledge and a broader historical perspective of Quarry Hill,” City of Greater Bendigo manager strategic planning Anthony Petherbridge said.

“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 next Tuesday 6 May, from 3pm to 7pm at the Quarry Hill Golf Club.

“This is an opportunity to share your knowledge and talk to City staff involved in the project,” Mr Petherbridge said.

“Tell us your Quarry Hill stories from the past and bring along documents or photos that can contribute to this exciting project.”
