Why is it significant?
It is historically significance for its association with the development of Essendon and Strathmore during the interwar period and demonstrates how the natural environment has been modified as the land has been settled and developed. It is representative example of how creeks were transformed into stone-lined channels in an attempt to improve drainage capacity and reduce the effects of flooding due to increased run-off from suburban development.
