Ellis Gateway at Nillumbik Cemetery

- for its association with the early history of the township and as a record of the pioneering families of the district

- for the significant plantings: pines that date to the foundation and laying out of the cemetery in the late 1860s, and a boundary cypress row that dates to the 1920s

- for its associated structures, such as the timber sexton's cottage which help complete the sense of period at the cemetery

The Ellis gateway is of state significance

- as exhibiting a rare design in ornamental gateways, which is also relatively large for the size of the cemetery

- for its association with William Ellis, notable early settler and benefactor
