History of Valley Lake
Formerly a basalt quarry, which was closed in 1976, this huge hole in the ground was the subject of a bitter battle between the Kennett government and local residents. At one stage, approval was granted for this site to be used as a toxic dump, however strong opposition from locals in Niddrie and Keilor East resulted in the decision being overturned in 1999. In 2000, the Bracks Government announced that the site would be used for housing development, with 30% of the land reserved as open space. The first blocks of land were auctioned in May, 2006. Further land releases will continue over the coming months and years.
The cache
This cache is a painted 200ml clip-top Sistema.
