Stronger links are being forged within the Wonthaggi community and visitors to the region through a $388,000 boost from the Victorian Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund.
The official opening of the $438,000 Bass Coast Rail Trail Wonthaggi Precinct, jointly funded by the Victorian Government and Bass Coast Shire Council, took place on Tuesday, 16 July 2024.
The project has transformed the Bass Coast Rail Trail platform and museum entry, creating an outdoor undercover community exhibition space. Other works included upgrading the retaining walls, glazing the rail trail platform, and adding a new entrance.
The upgrades have made the Wonthaggi Railway Station Museum a focal point of the Rail Trail, providing it with new opportunities to share local history through a new undercover space which can be enjoyed from the trail as a static display.
