Historical Society’s new space officially opened
The new extension to the Wonthaggi and District Historical Society’s museum, located on the site of Wonthaggi’s railway station in Apex Park, was officially opened on Wednesday.
The extension, dubbed ‘The West Wing’, includes administration and storage facilities, an accessible toilet and kitchenette, a new passage with a direct link to the original station building and energy efficient lighting throughout.

Bass Coast Shire Mayor, Cr Brett Tessari, said this project is a perfect example of staying the course, planning well and achieving together.
