The project
The City is putting together a thematic history of Quarry Hill. This includes mining, community spirit, and settlement. This will help us to understand why Quarry Hill looks like the way it looks today.
Part of this project is to better understand Quarry Hill’s rich history and heritage to help protect and celebrate it. We want to hear from the community, you can share your stories, documents, photographs that may help inform the study.

Frequently asked questions
A thematic history identifies and explains the main factors, processes and events that have shaped a particular location or subject. It is the first step towards developing a Heritage Study.
A thematic history is a broad historical overview of an area. Stage 2 of a heritage study provides a detailed analysis of individual properties or places.
