Statement of Significance

The Lilydale to Warburton Railway Line is of regional historical and social significance, illustrating the impact of the railway on the development of the upper section of the Yarra Valley particularly for timber utilisation, and for its longevity of community use and association, symbolically representing this important aspect of the locality's past in the present, and developing a new series of public uses through community advocacy and action, ultimately enabling protection of key elements of the whole place.
