Expressions of Interest are now open for incorporated community and not-for-profit organisations that want to become the new tenant at Miller’s Homestead. Applications close on 31 July.
About
We acknowledge that Miller's Homestead is located on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation.
Miller's Homestead is a single storey Victorian residence on the corner of Melrose Court and Dorrigo Drive in Boronia. It was the former home of James John Miller, the first President of Ferntree Gully Shire.
The building has been restored and is the best example of the late Victorian 'boom' era architecture of the 1880s in Knox. The garden was updated in the 1990s but original features such as rockwork and heritage trees have been retained.
After a period of restoration, Millers Homestead reopened to the public on Monday 7 March 2022.
What's on
Programs and activities at Millers Homestead will finish at the end of 2026 due to the end of the tenancy agreement. Services from Your Library will still be available across 5 locations, including for borrowing, internet access and support.
Run by Your Library, Miller's Homestead hosts a range of arts, culture, literature and heritage activities and events for the community, including:
- creative writing and literature events

- community and cultural events
