Statement of Significance

The special historical, ecological and visual qualities of Churchill Island and the surrounding bay combine to make this area highly significant, both within the Western Port Region and within the State.

The history of settlement and the important early sites are not always well documented and rarely does such an important site come into public ownership.

Victorians now have an outstanding opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the settlement process.

The subtle beauty of the area also challenges us to explore and extend our perceptions of the Australian environment by reflecting on the vision of the early settlers.

LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES:

Churchill Island is located to the northeast of Phillip Island within the Western Port region. The boundary of the Classification generally follows the watershed ridgeline and several main roads on Phillip Island.

Classified: 07/06/1973
