Western Face, Dandenong Ranges
VIC - Property No L10098
Statement of Significance
The Western Face of the Dandenong Ranges is of high significance within the Melbourne Region due to its value as:
- an important landmark that is visually prominent throughout much of this region;
- a remnant of the forest that covered the entire range prior to European settlement;
- an area that provides habitat for plant and animal communities that are no longer well represented within the Dandenongs;
- a recreational area for people throughout the Melbourne Region;
- a "fire buffer" area to assist in the protection of the closely settled main ridge of the Range.
LOCATION:
The whole of the western and part of the north-western slopes of the main Dandenong Range stretching from Montrose to the southern boundary of the Ferntree Gully National Park.
