Summary The Victorian Government, in its efforts to plan for the future as fully and as wisely as possible, has defined several growth "corridors" at the fringes of metropolitan Melbourne, along which development can be managed and encouraged. In its Metropolitan policy, released in August 1987 in the document entitled "Shaping Melbourne's Future", it argued that the south-eastern region of Melbourne was likely to be a major area of future residential and economic growth, and defined the "Berwick-Pakenham Corridor" as a narrow, finger-like strip of land pointing towards the southeast from the outskirts of Dandenong as far as the small railway township of Bunyip in the east.::The corridor concept is not new, having first been proposed in the early 1960s, and the Berwick-Pakenham region has long been considered an area likely to be targeted by metropolitan expansion. Population growth in Melbourne has been such that this expansion is now imminent and consequently an Outline Development Plan is being prepared to provide a framework for the orderly release of land. As part of this process the Ministry for Planning and the Environment has commissioned an historical survey of the corridor district, in conjunction with archaeological and historic architectural studies, with a view to identifying the historical and heritage features of the district so that they may be taken into account during the planning process.::This report is the product of the general historical survey of the corridor region. It does not pretend to be a detailed history of the area, nor to identify every historic site within the region. It seeks rather to paint with broad strokes the general history of the district and its surroundings, to suggest issues and themes which have been important in that history, and to provide a starting point for the more systematic surveys of archaeological sites and historic buildings in the area. It has been prepared in haste in order to meet deadlines imposed by planners. For that reason it is bound to contain errors and to neglect issues. It is hoped that a full scale conservation study can be carried out in the district. The basic assumption underlying the report is that the past of the district is important, and that the physical evidence of that past which has survived is worthy of protection.
