Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West (LMW) is Australia’s first ecomuseum, founded in 1984 to document, preserve, and interpret the social, industrial, environmental, and migrant histories of Melbourne’s western suburbs. Its creation marked a turning point in recognising the West as a culturally rich region whose stories had long been overlooked. The Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West is located in the former Raleigh Boiling Down Works, Melbourne Meat Preserving Company and Humes Pipe Works.Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West documents migration, work, industry, women’s history, integrates environmental and landscape history into heritage interpretation and treat the region itself as the museum, rather than a single building.5208.01 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1986.jpg 5208.01 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1986.pdf 5208.02 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1987.jpg 5208.02 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1987.pdf 5208.03 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1988.jpg 5208.03 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1988.pdf 5208.04 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1989.jpg 5208.04 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1989.pdf 5208.05 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1990.jpg 5208.05 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1990.pdf 5208.06 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1991.jpg 5208.06 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1991.pdf 5208.07 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1992.jpg 5208.07 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1992.pdf 5208.08 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1993.jpg 5208.08 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1993.pdf 5208.09 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1994.jpg 5208.09 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1994.pdf 5208.10 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1995.jpg 5208.10 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1995.pdf 5208.11 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1999 - 2000.jpg 5208.11 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 1999 - 2000.pdf 5208.12 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2003 - 2004.jpg 5208.12 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2003 - 2004.pdf 5208.13 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2004 - 2005.jpg 5208.13 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2004 - 2005.pdf 5208.14 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2005 - 2006.jpg 5208.14 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2005 - 2006.pdf 5208.15 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2014 - 2015.jpg 5208.15 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2014 - 2015.pdf 5208.16 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2020 - 2021.jpg 5208.16 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2020 - 2021.pdf 5208.17 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2022 - 2023.jpg 5208.17 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2022 - 2023.pdf 5208.18 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2023 - 2024.jpg 5208.18 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2023 - 2024.pdf 5208.19 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2024 - 2025.jpg 5208.19 - Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Incorporated Annual Report 2024 - 2025.pdfmelbourne's living museum of the west, raleigh boiling down works, melbourne meat preserving compan, humes pipe works

Pipemakers Park is an 8‑hectare urban park on the Maribyrnong River, near Highpoint, established in 1987 on the site of the former Hume Pipes Company manufacturing complex. The site has a long history of industrial use including, Raleigh’s Boiling‑Down Works (1848–1853), Melbourne Meat Preserving Company (1868–1886), Australian Frozen Meat Export Company (1880–1882) and Hume Pipe Company (1912–1978). The Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works purchased the site in 1978 for conversion to parkland and the Pipemakers Park officially opened in 1987–1988. One bluestone building was refurbished and leased to Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West. The park is now managed by the City of Maribyrnong (since 2014)Pipemakers Park is significant because it is one of the most complete surviving industrial heritage landscapes in Melbourne, a place where 130 years of Australian manufacturing, export innovation, and working‑class history are still physically visible in one location. Its importance comes from industrial, archaeological, cultural, ecological, and community values.Joe, Vince & Marion Fagone - Pipe Makers Park pipemakers park, maribyrnong
