Statement of Significance

The Badger Creek Weir has high local significance as part of the Maroondah water supply system, which provided drinking water for Healesville and Melbourne. Constructed in 1909, the weir became redundant when the second weir was built higher up the creek in 1929. The Badger Creek Weir area has been a popular picnic place since the 1890s with its fern gullies and forest of Mountain Ash and Manna Gum.
