History


As part of the Melbourne Sandbelt, the area has been subject to significant sand mining in the past, though many extraction sites have now passed to other uses.[2] Heatherton Post Office opened on 6 May 1885, but closed in 1973.[3]



Today


The Kingston Centre, a major regional Aged Care and Rehabilitation facility, is located on Warrigal Road. The site was originally the Melbourne Benevolent Asylum (where construction began in 1909).[4] A 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge tramway was constructed from the railway at Cheltenham to the building site.[5] A large proportion of the grounds of the Kingston Centre were sold in the 1990s to the developer Mirvac, who built the 500 homes of the Heath estate between 2000 and 2006.



Sport


The suburb has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Southern Football League.[6] The Heatherton Football Club ("The Tunners") was formed in 1913[7] and currently play at the Heatherton Recreation Reserve on Ross Street.


Golfers play at the course of the Kingston Heath Golf Club on Kingston Road[8] or at the Capital Golf Club on Ross Street.[9]
