Engage City of Whittlesea
Quarry Hills Parkland is one of the defining landscapes of the City of Whittlesea and contributes to the character of the Mernda and Wollert growth corridor.
The hills are a dominant visual feature and common point of reference for residents, which also provide spectacular 360-degree views across the municipality.
Quarry Hills Parkland is the sleeping gem in the City of Whittlesea crown and has the potential to become a major cultural and ecotourism attraction for the North.
More than $4M has recently been spent planning the park’s future development and establishing a network of paths that will provide public access to picturesque areas, including one of the parklands’ highest peaks.
Council looks forward to partnering with the State and Federal Government to further develop the park to ensure it is a destination for all of Melbourne and nearby regional communities.
A draft Future Directions Plan has been developed in partnership with the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation, and funded through the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning outlining the proposed vision that will guide the long-term plans for the area.
