The heritage of Macedon Ranges is rich and unique to our area.

There are many types of heritage, from the natural, Aboriginal, and historic places we have created and inherited, to plantings of mature trees and avenues, or manipulation of landscapes for water, travel, agriculture, and industry.

Evidence of the shire’s past is present in objects and collections, records and stories, passed on to us from the First Peoples who have lived here for thousands of years, and those who have migrated here in colonial settlement and since.

The Macedon Ranges is fortunate to have a community who champion the heritage we love and who advocate and work to preserve and protect it.

Thank you to everyone who submitted photos and feedback, and contributed to the development of the final strategy.

Council's Heritage Strategy was adopted at the 28 August 2024 Council Meeting.
