The vertical green/white panels come from the Arms of Croydon where they allude to the green beauty of the trees in the locality and the former name of 'White Plains'. The indented division between the top and bottom of the shield reflects the chevron in the device of the Borough of Ringwood, and the dancetty barrulets in the shield of the City of Ringwood. The bees, representing industry and agriculture, come from the Croydon Arms, while the kookaburras were features of the former devices of Ringwood. | The vertical green/white panels come from the Arms of [[Croydon (Victoria)|Croydon]] where they allude to the green beauty of the trees in the locality and the former name of 'White Plains'.
