About

The Hunters Hill Trust is a volunteer organisation with nearly 40 years’ proud history of helping to preserve the unique heritage of Australia’s oldest garden suburb.

Incredibly, Hunters Hill has 1,244 listed heritage items, including buildings, sub-divisions, bushland, stone walls and 223 places listed on the Register of the National Estate!  It is a place of national significance – please help us keep it that way.

Over the years, the Trust has had many successes in protecting the Municipality from inappropriate development. Sometimes our battles are fought against the Council but, more often than not, we are able to work with the Council through our representation on a number of committees such as The Conservation Advisory Panel.

Activities of the Hunters Hill Trust
