Woodlands Historic Park, Victoria

The objectives for management are:

 

Natural resource conservation

  • The landscape will be managed to reflect the pastoral and settlement related theme. Significant and fragile elements, such as mature Eucalypts, will be protected or restored.
  • The dynamics of growth and ageing will be recognised, with tree replacements, new plantings and fencing styles sympathetic to the evolved 1840s landscape.
  • Wildlife re-introduction and restoration programs will continue to be concentrated in the 'back paddock'.

 

Heritage resource conservation

  • The Woodlands Homestead including the outbuildings and the other European and Aboriginal cultural sites in the Park will be conserved
  • The fabric of the Woodlands Homestead and outbuildings will be monitored for signs of deterioration and maintained but does not require restoration.
  • Maintenance programs will be established and maintained.

 

Park protection

  • Invasive exotic species will be controlled, particularly weeds, rabbits, cats and foxes.
  • Research and monitoring programs will be established and maintained.

 

The park visit

  • The main visitor facilities and developments will be provided at the Woodlands Homestead complex and the Moonee Ponds Creek picnic area.
  • The Woodlands Homestead will be promoted as a significant visitor and tourist facility and part of a range of significant heritage assets across Melbourne.
  • Future development of adoption of the Homestead will be in accordance with conservation guidelines.
  • Cycling and walking paths will provide visitor access linking all sections of the Park.
  • The park will provide high quality visitor experiences for a wide range of visitors.
  • Interpretation of the historic features will give an insight into the lifestyles of the 1840s and the social changes since then.

  • Community awareness and involvement
  • Community based park use will be encouraged.
