Acknowledgement of Country

Monash City Council acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land now known as Monash and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

  • Resources

    The Monash Federation Centre is a focus for the local history collections of the Monash Public Library Service, and the Oakleigh and District Historical Society.

  • Sir John Monash

    The City of Monash is named for Sir John Monash, civil engineer and volunteer soldier who rose to the highest rank in the Australian Army by the end of World War 1.

  • Detailed History

    Although the City of Monash was created as recently as December 1994, the area's history of settlement stretches back more than 150 years.

  • Aboriginal Heritage

    Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the Woi wurrung occupied an area which extended from the Werribee River in the south west, Mount Macedon in the north west, Mount William in the Great Divide to the north and across to Mount Baw Baw in the east.

    Council has identified six precincts as worthy of consideration for heritage protection through the Monash Planning Scheme.
