C148maro Municipal Wide Heritage Amendment - Post World War II

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Consultation has concluded

Maroondah City Council has completed a municipal wide heritage study review with a focus on Post World War II heritage.

The community’s understanding of what constitutes heritage continues to evolve and expand over time. When heritage organisations, such as the National Trust, were first formed in the 1950s they focused on protecting grand Victorian mansions. Today, most people would agree that Edwardian and interwar-era places are also an important part of our heritage, and many appreciate post-war architecture and design as well. 

While sparse suburb development in Maroondah only began at the coming of the railway line in the 1880's and later intensified during the 1920's with the electrification of the railway line; the majority of suburban development in the municipality took place after World War II. 

While some parts of the City of Maroondah provide physical evidence dating back to 1870's, most of the municipality is characterised by twentieth century development and in the cases of areas such as Heathmont, Bayswater North, Warranwood and Croydon Hills, by post WW2 development.

The post war thematic history has found that it is this post war period that most strongly characterises Maroondah’s residential areas and activity centres.
