Statement of Significance

The entire area of Limeburners Point is an important historic landscape that records the development of an industry that provided an important commodity essential in the establishment of several large urban settlements, namely Launceston, Melbourne and Geelong.

An important example of one of Victoria's earliest industries, it is of considerable historical interest and significance. This is enhanced by the fact that it is probably one of the earliest sites for this particular industry in Victoria.

The major features of this industry that are known to still exist form an important historical landscape and have therefore been included in the Classified area. The designation, Significant Regional Landscape, has been applied to the entire Limeburners Point area and it is believed that other important components of this industrial landscape may well be located as a result of archaeological survey within this broader area.

LOCATION:

The Limeburners Point Area is approximately 2 kilometres from Geelong, close to the Eastern Gardens (Botanic Gardens).
