The City of Greater Bendigo Heritage Gap Analysis review in 2019 identified the former Shire of Huntly had never been the focus of a comprehensive heritage study.
As part of the preliminary stages of the study, community members with local knowledge are invited to attend two community drop-in sessions.
The City of Greater Bendigo's director of strategy and growth Bernie O'Sullivan said the sessions provide the opportunity to speak to residents.
"We would like to hear from people who have good local knowledge about the former Shire of Huntly and if you have photographs or records, please bring them along.
"We are also interested in discussing any potential places of heritage significance within the area," Mr O'Sullivan said.
Information that can confirm the significance of building periods within the area, the establishment of community and social infrastructure and the development of different phases of housing is of interest.
The former Shire of Huntly covered areas including Ascot, Bagshot, Elmore, Epsom, Fosterville, Goornong and Kamarooka.
Two community drop-in sessions will be held.
The first session is on Wednesday, 4 March at the former Huntly Shire council chambers at 620-626 Midland Highway, Huntly from 3-6pm.
The second session will take place on Thursday, 5 March at the Elmore Community Hub from 3-6pm.
