Foreward

The City of Doncaster and Templestowe Heritage Study records many of the historic build­ ings, structures, areas and plantings that remain in the municipality.

It is an important step towards greater community appreciation of our history, and demonstrates that it is still possible to see today evidence of the lives and works of our forebears from the goldfields of Warrandyte to the orchards of Doncaster and Templestowe, through to the architec­ tural excellence of recent buildings.

Other equally important aspects of our heritage - the natural environment and significant Aborig­ inal places - are documented in other studies.

This report aims to record these historic places, and raise awareness of their significance.
