Title	Heritage Precincts: history and significance
Creator Organisations	City of Melbourne Meredith Gould Architects Pty Ltd
Abstract/Description	Areas of Aboriginal cultural importance as identified in the Aboriginal Affairs Victoria Aboriginal Heritage Register and including the Government House battle site, Yarra Yarra falls, Batman's Hill, corroboree and camp sites at Parliament hill, Treasury Gardens, Royal Park and on the Domain, tress in Yarra Park, Feeding and protectorate Mission stations at the Botanic Gardens and Royal Park and Aboriginal burial sites at the Old Melbourne Cemetery. The position for Royal Parade (previously Sydney Road) is not determined until the late 1840s or early 1850s. It traverses the parks and connects the centre of the grid via Elizabeth Street, to the one-mile survey grid beyond the 1840 boundary of the "North Melbourne Parish" at Sydney Road (now the suburb of Brunswick). La Trobe approved the reservation for Princes Park in 1854. Parkville is defined and framed by these impressive boulevards and by Royal Park and Princes Park.
