1.2 Local Context 1.2.1 History 6 Diggers Rest Precinct Structure Plan Background Report‐ March 2012 The Diggers Rest study area is located within the language group of the Woi wurrung (spelling according to Clark 1990, 364), the group that occupied the basins of the Yarra and Maribyrnong Rivers. The Woi wurrung clan most closely associated with the Diggers Rest region were the Marin balug, who principally identified with the Kororoit Creek and the area around Sunbury (Clark 1990, 384). Today the Wurundjeri Tribe land Compensation and Cultural Heritage Council Incorporated is the registered Aboriginal party (RAP) under the Aboriginal heritage Act 2006 (Vic), with responsibilities in relation to the management and administration of Aboriginal Cultural Heritage matters in the Activity Area. European settlement saw the Diggers Rest area originally established as a hotel and “resting place” for gold prospectors heading to the Mount Alexander (Castlemaine) goldfields in the 1850s. In the 1870s, a railway line was extended to Sunbury which resulted in the establishment of a station at Diggers Rest. Despite these two assets, very little development occurred within the township prior to the 1970s. The existing residential township of Diggers Rest was laid out and developed in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. Diggers Rest is currently a small residential community with a population of approximately 1,800. The township has very limited retail and employment opportunities and underutilised community services and infrastructure. Diggers Rest currently function as a small dormitory township to Melbourne’s western suburbs and the existing Sunbury Township. The isolated nature of the small urban residential community and the lack of capacity to support services was the stimulus for the Melton Shire Council to pursue actively the growth of Diggers Rest to a township capable of providing improved services and function as an effective residential community. 1.2.2 Surrounding Neighbourhoods The following neighbourhoods exist in the surrounding context of the Diggers Rest PSP area: Sydenham/Taylors Lakes / Watergardens Town Centre Sydenham/Taylors Lakes is a residential community located in the City of Brimbank which has developed over the past 25 years and includes an established and expanding town centre known as Watergardens. Watergardens has become the focal point of the growing Sydenham Taylors Lakes communities and is close to Diggers Rest and accessible via the existing Melbourne – to Bendigo rail line (Watergardens is one station from Diggers Rest).
